Following my blog article last month about Aberystwyth University’s new Veterinary Science and joint Climate Change degree courses, I’m hearing that the webinars they ran on these topics have been a great success and they’ve added two more.
The last in the original run are:
Thursday 4th June, 1.00pm to 2.00pm: Geography – Sustainability & the future of the planet with Professor Mark Whitehead
Thursday 11th June, 1.00pm to 2.00pm: Economics – The economics of Climate Change; externalities and policy response with Professor Mike Christie
Thursday 18th June, 11.00am to Midday: English Literature – English Literature and Climate Change with Dr. Neal Alexander
The two new events (open for booking soon) are:
Tuesday 23rd June at 2.30pm: Global Health with Professor Colin McInnes (Pro Vice Chancellor)
Friday 3rd July at 11.00am (to be confirmed): Physics and Climate Change
All events can be booked at: https://www.channeltalent.co.uk/events/list/
The uni’s Student Recruitment team will also be running a series of interactive webinars aimed at providing Years 11, 12 or 13 with a suite of hints and tips. They will all take place at 2.00pm via the Channel Talent platform including:
Monday 15th June: Webinar 1 (Why study higher education? and Making informed choices of course and university)
Monday 22nd June: Webinar 2 (UCAS process and Writing an effective personal statement)
Monday 29th June: Webinar 3 (Making the most of student life)
Wednesday 8th July: Webinar 4 (Student finance & budgeting)
Again, booking is through https://www.channeltalent.co.uk/events/list/ and the events run by the Student Recruitment team will appear in the event diary over the next few weeks.
