InfoLab21

Taster Days are days where schools come to see what kind of courses are on offer at the University and experience some of the activities first hand.

Taster days at Infolab21 are popular with students and schools locally and nationally. Pupils and Teachers alike have found the activity days stimulating and rewarding not only because they get a feel of what the University is like during term time but also because they get to experience different types of learning and teaching methods.

"Our annual taster day aims to give year-twelve students a real feel of what it's like to study science and technology subjects at university. As well as the departmental workshops, there's the opportunity to talk to our lecturers first-hand.

"We really hope the event will encourage and support the decisions these students will be making very soon about going to university." Dr. Jane Taylor, Faculty of Science and Technology's Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies.
