An opportunity for Year 12-13 students, as well as mature students, to spend practical time in a lab to experience Life Sciences at the University of Essex.
During the day students can explore Marine and Environmental Sciences and have the opportunity to learn about Essex’s unique coastal habitats, the ecology of plants, animals and microbes, and tour our research aquaria.
Students will also delve into Biomedical Science and Molecular Biology, from chemicals to genes, proteins and tissues, to discover how modern techniques can reveal the secrets of living things!
There will also be an opportunity to speak with current students, to answer any questions about studying a subject such as Life Sciences at University, and an opportunity to look around a university too. The Life Sciences Discovery Day will run from 10:00-2:45, and is open to bookings from school groups as well as individuals who would like to attend.
We are excited to offer a Taster Day Bursary for school groups attending this event! The bursary is for up to £150 and is available to groups of 10 or more post-16 students.
Please note, this offer is not available in conjunction with the Schools Membership travel bursary.
The programme for the Life Sciences Discovery Day, including details of planned activities and timings for the day can be found on our website.
