Study days

We offer Study Days for Key Stages 4 and 5, working in partnership with the University's Gardens, Libraries and Museums, and academic departments.

Designed to provide academic enrichment, these events stimulate students’ curiosity about a topic relevant to their studies. They also offer insight into research and academic life at university.

Study Days may include:

talks from academics
hands-on practical sessions facilitated by academic researchers or museum staff
opportunities to meet and talk with PhD students and researchers
museum object-handling and guided tours linked to special exhibitions.
