AS-level Biology Conference

On the 27th March 2012 200 AS-level and GCSE students and their teachers, from nine different schools, attended a very successful and inspiring Biology Conference organised by the School of Biological Sciences. Dave Keeling, an extremely popular comic and motivational education speaker, launched the Conference. The students then attended a selection of University lectures, and were given the choice of participating in practical activities in the Biological Sciences Teaching Lab and Human Performance Unit, a campus tour and an examination skills session. The conference also included sessions on careers and the student experience of studying Biology a University.
