\nTaster sessions are available for years 7 through to 13 and can be undertaken in school or on the University of Kent Canterbury campus.<\/p>\n
\nThe School of Psychology are currently offering laboratory tours for students in years 10-13.
\nThis is an opportunity for students to visit the University of Kent Canterbury campus and view some of the specialist facilities there. The tours offer students the opportunity to explore some of the fascinating equipment used within the School of Psychology such as the eye tracking equipment and the EEG headset.<\/p>\n
\nCitizen\u2019s Jury is an opportunity currently being offered by The School of Anthropology and Conservation and The School of Politics and International Relations collectively.
\nThis workshop is currently being offered in both short and extended versions and is open to students in Year 12 and 13.
\nThe short version of the workshop is one 2 hour session whereby students will participate in a structured discussion around a selected ethical dilemma. Students will be posed questions and asked to come up with an agreement as a whole group around this selected dilemma.
\nThe extended version offers follow-up sessions whereby the students work in teams and are supported by our staff to run their own Citizen\u2019s Jury events, which will be based upon their own selected ethical dilemma.
\nThe extended Citizen\u2019s Jury is highly recommended for students taking the IBCP as it will help them to explore their topic and collect qualitative data. This extended version will consist of 3 2 hour long sessions.<\/p>\n
\nKent Law School are currently offering support to students who are taking Law as part of their Post 16 choices. The content and duration on offer is tailored to support the needs of the school.<\/p>\n
