We invite you to our 2019 Christmas Lectures where we bring a festive twist to teaching and learning in the Faculty of Natural & Mathematical Sciences, across the fields of Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and our new department - General Engineering.
The Christmas Lectures give secondary school pupils from the ages of 15-18 an opportunity to explore a variety of Christmas themed topics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through lectures and demonstrations from university teaching staff. There will also be an opportunity to have a tour of our Strand Campus and meet current students and academics from the faculty. And we have some hot chocolate and ginger bread cookies for refreshments to keep everyone warm.
