We are pleased to announce our popular Neuroscience event, where year 8 and 9 students will learn all about their brilliant brains!
University of Sussex Neuroscientists have put together a series of interactive lessons that will provide a whistle stop tour of the human brain, the amazing things it can do and how it does them. You students will leave inspired, with some tricks to help them study and an understanding of how science GCSEs could be the first steps to becoming a brain scientist!
Session topics include: Backyard brains (electric signals), Build a brain (anatomy), Learning and Memory and the Senses.
Students will also get the chance to speak with our team of student ambassadors, who are all current students at the University, and who can give a unique and varied insight into student life, as well as share their experiences of studying an array of subject areas at university.
