Visiting your school
History of Art workshops
Our bespoke taster workshops for pupils studying Art or Photography at GCSE or A Level, introduce students to Art History at undergraduate level. These sessions are suitable for pupils attending state schools within a one hour’s drive of the University of Bristol.
Humanities speaker talks
The School of Humanities offers subject-specific talks for pupils attending state schools. Our taster lectures are aimed at Year 11, 12 and 13 students and can enrich pupils’ understanding of set texts and offer an insight into some of the exciting research being undertaken at the University.
Bristol Classics Hub
The hub provides schools with comprehensive guidance on introducing Classics into the curriculum through events, competitions and workshops for school students across all key stages.
Writing Wrongs
This programme supports students' writing skills with a series of workshops in local schools, targeting specific writing skills (e.g., essay and evidence based writing), and showing how those skills contribute to success in the study of Arts subjects/careers. The programme will work with students currently in Year 8, in local schools. Please note we have limited capacity to run this programme, and details and timings will be discussed with participating schools directly.
