Our activities are aligned to fit with your curriculum and support your teaching in the classroom. If something doesn’t quite suit, or you have a specific request, please get in touch and we’ll work with you to develop an activity that meets your needs.
We know it’s not always possible to bring your students out of the classroom to experience higher education, so we can bring the higher education experience to you. If you would like to arrange a bespoke visit to campus we can extend these talks into longer taster sessions.
