Science Centre Lectures

The Science Centre was first established in 1987 by Dr Sadiq Kadifachi and it was incorporated into UCL in 1997. Videos of last terms lectures can be viewed in our archive. The Science Centre Lectures are free lectures on a range of scientific subjects for sixth form students and their teachers. They are held on Friday evenings throughout the academic year.

Admission

Lectures are held online using Zoom through the Zoom App or via your browser. Sign up to lectures here using Eventbrite and start at 6:30pm on the Friday evenings as they always have, and will last approx. one hour

The talks are aimed at sixth form students and teachers, but are frequently attended (and enjoyed) by members of the public, teachers, academics and undergraduates. There is usually a lively Q&A session at the end of the talk. Sixth form & fifth form (year 11) students are welcome with or without a teacher.

Time

All talks are held on Fridays at 6.30pm and last for approximately 1 hour, followed by 30 minutes for discussion.
