Our Brilliant Brains event is back for 2025 - this event proved extremely popular last year, so be sure to book fast to secure your place!
About the event:
A team of neuroscientists from the University of Sussex and Brighton & Sussex Medical School have put together a series of interactive sessions designed to give your year 8 & 9 students the chance to learn more about what their brain does, how it does it – and how they might even be able to control other people’s bodies with the power of their brains! Students will leave inspired, maybe even with some tricks to help them study and an understanding of how science GCSEs could be the first steps to becoming a brain scientist!
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.
