STEM Student Ambassador Talks

Inspire your pupils with engaging talks from our undergraduate STEM Ambassadors. These talks are a chance for your pupils to find out more about specific STEM subjects and opportunities in higher education. They are a great opportunity for pupils to explore some of the options available for further study and would be ideal for pupils making decisions about which subjects to study at a higher level.

These sessions give your students the chance to:

  • Hear first-hand what it’s like to study a STEM subject at university.

  • Explore a range of degree subjects and potential career paths.

  • Gain insight into the journey from school to higher education.

  • Ask questions directly to current undergraduates.

Whether your pupils are weighing up subject choices or simply curious about STEM, these talks can help them see the exciting opportunities ahead.
