Event Summary:
History Quest is a popular interactive day designed to show year 9 & 10 students the many and varied aspects of studying History at a Russell Group university.
Full Event Details:
This is a fantastic opportunity for your students to delve deeper into history at the University of Birmingham. Following the keynote talk by a current academic, participants will have a chance to take part in a historical object task, a workshop, lunch and tour of the university campus, with a quiz taking place in the afternoon. Your group will be supported throughout the day by a student ambassador currently studying at the University, a unique chance for your students to ask about university life.
