Schools Lecture Collection
We are pleased to present a collection of talks from our academics covering a diverse range of A Level and GCSE relevant subjects. These are focused talks suitable for inclass use, and we have provided some indication of where they are relvant within the curriculum.
We have also identified some selected Royal Geographical Society (RGS) resources that may also be of value.
You can find these materials here.
A Level in-class Talks and Q&A
We also have a series of A-Level talks which can be delivered via zoom by staff members to slot into your lessons (30 min talk plus time for questions). We have a list of topics you can choose from and we can arrange these at a time to suit both you and the staff member. If you would like further details please get in touch at les.outreach@contacts.bham.ac.uk
University experiences
We organise programmes of seminars, tours and practicals at the University of Birmingham for both pupils and teachers. These can be subject specific or multidisciplinary. Our annual highlight is the Global Challenges event; an exciting multiple school experience, with a combination of talks and activites led by own academics here at the university.
