Parents and Teachers Corner

Natalie Roberts is the Outreach Officer for the Faculty of Business and Physical Sciences at Aberystwyth University.

You may already know that, before Covid-19, we offered free in-school and public workshops for all age groups, in the subjects of Maths, Physics and Computer Science. Now, we offer a wider range of workshops, with the inclusion of Business and Information Studies, virtually. The full menu can be viewed below:

We understand how stressful and difficult the last year has been for teachers, parents, and students alike. Therefore, we have started to make workshops and resources available direct to learners on our Faculty’s Outreach Hub. Additionally, some of this material has been adapted and made freely available to teachers through TES (The Times Educational Supplement):

We are constantly developing new material and workshops. If you have a suggestion, query, or are looking for support on a specific subject/area, then please do not hesitate to contact Natalie (nar25@aber.ac.uk).

We are keen to establish and maintain links with schools, colleges and young farmers groups across Wales and the UK.

We can offer visits to your institution from members of our academic staff (When safe to do so), who can deliver talks on the university, IBERS and what degree schemes we offer at undergraduate and postgraduate level. We are also able to talk about the research IBERS undertakes and what it can be like for students to study in higher education.

If you have a suggestion, query, or are looking for support on a specific subject/area, then please do not hesitate to contact Dr Russ Morphew (rom@aber.ac.uk)

Psychology at Aberystwyth has a very long tradition of engaging with schools all over the world. 

We have expertise in a great number of areas related to Psychology and a good number are directly relevant to issues covered in the IB, A-levels and GCSE. Staff here all know that talking to students (and parents and teachers) is an opportunity to help us develop psychology across the United Kingdom and help students make up their minds about what they would like to study when leave school. We all have good working relationships with teachers and advisors both in the UK and further afield, so please do get in touch if you think we can a useful part of your school and department's strategy. If nothing else, we can help inject a little surprise and fun when students might be beginning to lose focus, and remind them that their hard work in school is really worth it!
