Careers in Science & Health
Find out about careers in science and health with this interactive workshop. This workshop will encourage students to think about the huge range of careers in science and health, what they involve, how to match their skills and interests with their choice of subjects and careers.
The workshop consists of five stations, through which students move over the course of the session. Two stations give students the chance to meet a working scientist and a medical or dental student. The scientist is drawn from our list of accredited STEM Ambassadors based here at the Blizard Institute.
For this reason, our careers workshop can only be experienced on-site at Centre of the Cell, within the Blizard Institute and close to the offices and laboratories where our scientists are based,
