Schools and colleges

Primary school outreach

Our researchers can provide flexible, interactive and fun activities, delivered at your school. These can be adapted to suit most age groups. Please contact outreach-fmvs@bristol.ac.uk for more information.

Secondary school outreach

We provide opportunities for secondary school aged children to visit our laboratories and experience lab work. We take part in activities including Access to Bristol, STEM Taster Day, Biomedical Science Taster Day, Insight in to Bristol and the Sutton Trust Summer School.

Our researchers can also visit your school, college or event to give a research or career talk. Alternatively we can take part in more informal Q and A sessions. Please contact outreach-fmvs@bristol.ac.uk for more information. 

Wider community outreach

We take part in various events open to members of the public. These have included researchers giving talks at events such as the Pint of Science Festival or Science Cafés, or providing hands on activities at events including the March for Science, Big Bang Bristol and Festival of Nature.

Our researchers also share ideas with the wider community via articles and online media:

• Bristol Science Film Festival 2016 winning entry, featuring Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Training Fellow Grace Edmunds.
• ‘The Immune System’, an article outlining immunology for sixth formers, by Dr Lindsay Nicholson.
