Science and Society Course - Climate Change
This Headstart Science course at Newcastle focuses on how changes in the global and local climate affect the environments in which we live. Participants will examine the complexities of environments, the effects of shifts and changes we are witnessing and also how researchers at Newcastle University are trying to predict and plan for what will happen in the future.
The course is a collaborative project between the biological, physical and computing sciences as well as maths. We aim to demonstrate how a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach is required to solving complex problems.
Workshops include:
- Lectures, discussion and debate
- Field work at the various field stations operated by the university
- Laboratory and practical sessions
- Skills development sessions including team-working and communication
- Advice, guidance and careers sessions
Participants will also get the opportunity to experience how students live at Newcastle University, staying in halls of residence and enjoying a full and enriching social programme in the evenings.
This course will show you how the work of scientists at The University of Newcastle has a direct bearing on society and the world in which you live. |
