Who’s at fault? Put yourself in a lawyer’s shoes
StudentsVirtual
What happens when someone gets injured in an accident at work, property gets damaged, or a dispute ends up in court? Join Brighton Law School for an interactive tort law taster session where you’ll have to think like a lawyer to debate legal dilemmas. Discover how courts solve everyday problems, develop your confidence, and get a taste of what studying law at university is really like.
Interactive session: thinking about AI like a linguist
StudentsVirtual
Large Language Models like ChatGPT are incredible language machines. They sound human... but they aren't human. In this interactive session with the University of Warwick, we'll explore why and when that matters. How do people and software differ in the ways they use and process language, and what does that mean for you? We'll be exploring real-world research into the language of AI to learn how linguists are leading the way in understanding these new – and sometimes dangerous – language tools.
Bad people or bad luck? Psychology, law and the truth about crime
StudentsVirtual
In this interactive session with Northeastern University London, you’ll explore how psychology and law come together in criminology. Through real-world examples and live polls, we’ll discuss key ideas like attribution bias and the just-world hypothesis, alongside legal concepts of responsibility and culpability. You’ll discover how different disciplines explain crime, and how criminology bridges behaviour and justice.
From solving puzzles to machines that learn: how did AI evolve?
StudentsVirtual
Join this session with the University of Warwick for a fun tour through the history of AI. You’ll discover how early artificial intelligence systems were designed to solve puzzles and play simple games, and how these ideas evolved into today’s systems that can learn from data, recognise patterns, and make decisions. Along the way, you’ll see exciting examples of AI in everyday life. This session is perfect for anyone curious about AI and how it’s become a major part of the modern world.
From witchcraft to science: the making of modern pharmacology
StudentsVirtual
How did medicine move from myths and remedies to modern science? Join the University of Aberdeen to explore how pharmacology evolved using real disease case studies, including infectious disease, pain, and mental illness. Uncover surprising early treatments like leeches and urine, and learn about accidental discoveries like willow bark (aspirin) and opium poppy (morphine). Join us to see how science transformed medicine into the evidence-based discipline we rely on today.
Electrical engineering taster: why do planes vanish?
StudentsVirtual
Think electrical engineering is just wires, circuits, and maths? Think again. Join Professor Simon Maskell from the University of Liverpool as he shows how curiosity, creativity, and a love of computers led to an unexpected career in electrical engineering – from modelling the coronavirus R number to searching for the missing flight MH370.

Product design engineering taster: do designers also need to be philosophers?
StudentsVirtual
Where do the ideas for new products come from? How is philosophy similar to design? And how can designers use philosophy to see what is truly good for us, rather than what is useful? Join lecturer Fazil Akin from the University of Liverpool to explore the relationship between humans and technology in the world of AI-made music, self-driving cars, and swarm drones.
Medicine taster: how doctors use digital imaging to see inside bodies
StudentsVirtual
How do doctors and scientists study parts of the body too small to see? In this session, Dr John Chilton from the University of Plymouth will show you how visualisation tools are transforming medical education.
