Schools and Colleges
Politics is committed to providing an active outreach programme, we continue to engage with local schools and colleges through events and activities. Our academics are regularly found giving talks in local schools, both to A-level Politics students and a more general audience.
If you would like to enquire about any past, present or future event, or a talk in your school please contact the School's Outreach Officer, Katharine Wright.

2011-12 Activities for Schools and Colleges
Schools and Colleges Lecture
Britain and the European Union: A Bad Romance?
Wednesday, February 27th 2012, 17:00 to 18:00
The UK’s relationship with the EU has always been difficult, but with the recent veto by Mr Cameron of the new EU Treaty, it reached a new low. This lecture looks at the UK-EU relationship as if it were a marriage, starting with how the two got together and leading through their stormy relationship to today, when talk of separation or even divorce is quite frequent. Should they stay together? Or is this just a bad romance that both parties would be happier without?
This event is organised by the University's Education Liaison Team. More information.

Have we learnt the lessons from Afghanistan?

Professor Sir Mike Aaronson will give the plenary lecture. The conference aims to provide students with an opportunity to examine the issue of intervention and to gain important insights into life at University.
