All,Please find below a list of free lectures available to you from the University of Royal Holloway. These are linked to A Level study areas, and give students a taster of university level teaching, in a real university lecture theatre. If students are particularly interested in the topic, or unsure of which courses they may enjoy at university, these are a good opportunity for an initial experience of university life. There will be a chance to ask questions afterwards and meet some current students.
The webpage with further information and booking forms is located here. Students will need to register, and can attend independently. Booking is essential to ensure you receive all the information required.
The lecture series will see each department in the faculty contribute a lecture for Sixth Formers:
