We know it’s not always possible to bring your students out of the classroom to experience higher education, so we can bring the higher education experience to you. If you would like to arrange a bespoke visit to campus we can extend these talks into longer taster sessions.

Education, Early Childhood & Youth

Children's media and digital use

Technology and social media have become increasingly ingrained in our everyday lives, including the lives of our children and young people. We consider the potential impact of growing up in the digital age, and how it might influence our education system moving forward.   Linked modules • Pearson-Digital Technologies in Early Years Practice

Topics may include:

> an exploration of the professions working with children and young people

Social Work

Not just being nice!

This talk explores social work in detail and will suit emotionally robust students seeking a challenge. Linked modules • Pearson-Keeping Children Safe
