Social Sciences Conference

Group of students chatting

28 March 2024

We're delighted to announce a new event for students in years 12 and 13. Our Social Sciences conference will provide students with the opportunity to explore academic subjects at undergraduate level, in addition to providing a unique experience of a day in the life of a university student.

Please note the below event has now passed and bookings are closed. We will be planning our activities for next year soon and will update this page accordingly.

Our Social Sciences Conference will include taster sessions from the Departments of Sociology, Psychology and Psychosocial and Psychoanalytical Studies, as well as the opportunity to take a tour of the campus and facilities.

Download our programme (.pdf) to view the exciting taster sessions planned for the event.

We are excited to offer a Taster Day Bursary for school groups attending this event!* School groups bringing 10 or more post-16 students can claim up to £150 towards their travel expenses.

The programme will continue to be updated in the coming weeks, so please do check back for the latest information.
