Full event details

This event is free to attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, and eligible students can also receive a travel bursary to attend the taster day. 

As an attendee, you will participate in two hands-on sessions, providing you with an understanding of the course content and what it's like to actually study these subjects at university level.

Information regarding the sessions is below:

Session 1: Water Security 
In this session, we will define water security in a tropical context, explain key hydrological and climatic drivers in the tropics, identify major threats to water security and recognise social inequalities in access to water. 

Session 2: People in the Tropics
In this session, we will evaluate adaptation strategies to water insecurity, understand local/traditional knowledge systems and critically assess top-down versus bottom-up approaches. 

This taster day will be held at our Whiteknights campus and will run from approximately 10:00 – 15:00 (or 16:00 with an optional campus tour), allowing you time to really immerse yourself in the subject and relevant department.
