The mathematics behind the world: from Taylor Swift to facial recognition
StudentsVirtual
What do a Taylor Swift song, a photograph, and facial-recognition technology have in common? Join IE University for this interactive masterclass, where you’ll discover how linear algebra helps us describe and understand the world around us. Through clear examples and hands-on activities, you’ll explore vectors, dimensions, coordinate systems, projections and eigenfaces, seeing how abstract mathematical ideas are used in music, data analysis, and artificial intelligence.
Natural sciences taster: why one science isn't always enough
StudentsVirtual
Some of the world's biggest challenges can't be solved by just one science alone. Join the University of Birmingham to discover how biology, chemistry, physics, and more combine to solve real-world challenges. You'll explore why employers value graduates with broad scientific knowledge and how studying interdisciplinary science can open up a wide range of exciting careers.
Psychology taster: what makes faces so special?
StudentsVirtual
Our brains are remarkably good at finding and recognising faces, but they’re not always accurate! Join the University of Aberdeen for this interactive session, where we’ll explore the psychology of face perception – from why we see faces in everyday objects, to why visual illusions and AI-generated faces can challenge our ability to judge what’s real.
Becoming a doctor
StudentsVirtual
Patients remember how you made them feel. Colleagues remember how you worked together. At the University of Southampton, we believe becoming a doctor is about more than mastering medicine. Join this session to discover how Southampton combines clinical learning with the professional and personal skills that helps their graduates thrive throughout their careers.
Psychology taster: why smart people make bad decisions
StudentsVirtual
How do we explain why some smart people, despite their professional training and experience, commit totally avoidable mistakes? Join the University of Huddersfield as we distinguish between different types of thinking abilities and discuss the upside and downside of each of them. You’ll also look at your own intelligence through problem-solving tasks and discover how you can improve your smartness.
Sports science taster: why can’t everyone run fast marathons?
StudentsVirtual
Eliud Kipchoge is the only person ever to run a marathon in under two hours. Have you ever wondered why everyone can’t do this? Join Dr Michael Fish from the University of Huddersfield for an interactive webinar exploring the science behind running. You’ll look at different aspects such as physiology, biomechanics, nutrition, and coaching, and discover how each contributes to performance.
What makes an entrepreneur? And can you learn how to be one?
StudentsVirtual
Join the University of Bath to explore who entrepreneurs really are – not just the famous founders we see in the media, but the ordinary people who spot opportunities and solve problems in a range of settings. We’ll examine the different forms entrepreneurship can take, from start-ups to social ventures and innovation within organisations. You'll also discover why entrepreneurial thinking is increasingly valued across a wide range of careers.
Criminology taster: can you spot a liar?
StudentsVirtual
The ability to detect when someone is not being entirely truthful is a vital skill in policing, security, and investigative work. In this interactive taster session with the University of Huddersfield, you’ll explore whether subtle behavioural cues can reveal when someone is lying. Drawing on cutting-edge research, you’ll discover how creative interviewing techniques and modern technologies could transform lie-detection practices.
From electrical to mechanical: which engineering course is right for you?
StudentsVirtual
How do electronics help aircraft take flight, and where could a career in engineering take you?
