Medicine - Not Just Medics
The subject of Medicine interests many students, however they won’t all become doctors. Teams of scientists, engineers and mathematicians work alongside medical doctors, helping them to understand the spread of disease, discover better treatments and cures, and develop technology to aid more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Join us for a day of exploration on Wednesday 11th December 2024, 09:30-14:30.
The Medicine- not just medics two stage programme aims to provide students in year 9/10/11 with more information about how STEM degrees can link to the field of Medicine, and why STEM is important for medical advancement.
See 'What are the requirements for the event?' below for more details, or contact STEM@leeds.ac.uk for more information.
On Campus Day - 11th December 2024
Students will get to meet current students at the university, explore the campus and take part in three hands-on workshops from subjects like Chemistry, Biosciences, Engineering, Food Science and Physics.
Please note: The campus day is for groups of 10 students per school. The pre-event school workshop is optional and can be delivered to a full class if required, but it should include the students attending the campus day.
In-school Workshop (November) - Optional
In addition, schools can book an in-school workshop* during November delivered by a current University of Leeds PhD student. The session highlights the benefits of studying STEM subjects at university and the breadth of careers available with a STEM degree, through discussion and group activity. Access to computers is required.
*Subject to availability and distance from the university.
