Talks for schools and colleges

The University of Bristol is proud to have teaching staff who are not only world leaders in their field but also deeply passionate about sharing their knowledge. Many of these academic staff are available to come to local schools and talk to students on a range of topics. These talks are absolutely free and we hope that they complement the national curriculum as well as giving extra insight into university study. All of the talks are pitched at an accessible level for school/college students and have been extremely popular with teachers and students alike.

"The children have remembered much of the discussion and used this information for their predictions in their own investigations about bones. They were all excited and many shared the information with their parents/carers."

Liz Gorard, St George's Primary School, Bristol

Please note that all talks are dependent on academic availability. As a result of restrictions from external funders, talks are free to local state schools; fee paying schools may be asked to cover the costs of academic time and travel.
