Life Sciences Discovery Day

This event has now passed. We’ll be updating this page with new details as soon as they’re confirmed.

In the meantime, you can take a look at our previous Life Sciences Discovery Day information below to see the format and what to expect.

During the day, students will delve into Biomedical Science and Molecular Biology, from chemicals to genes, proteins to tissues, and discover how modern techniques can reveal the secrets of living things!

Students will also explore Marine and Environmental Sciences and have the opportunity to learn about Essex’s unique coastal habitats, the ecology of plants, animals and microbes, and tour our research aquaria.

There will also be an opportunity to speak with current students who will answer any questions about studying Life Sciences at University, and tour the University campus.

The programme for the Life Sciences Discovery Day, including details of planned activities and timings for the day can be found below:
