Lab work experience

A coordinated and evolving programme of schemes to inspire year 12 students that are interested in a science or medicine-related degree.

The students receive a general introduction to the week including an outline of the nature of the work undertaken in the research laboratories.

The remainder of the week is set up whereby the students have a range of experiences working in teams with a number of different investigators and their research groups.

The students have opportunities to experience cutting edge-technologies like molecular biology, flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, egg micro-injection, virology, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, pharmacology and cellular immunology with research groups from across the school.

Importantly, the students have the chance of meeting PhD students and post-doctoral fellows many of whom are in the early stages of their career. On the final afternoon, the students come together to describe what they have learnt from the week and information is also provided on the UCAS application process.

Application form

Science in Health - work experience application form

Please read this form carefully and fill in ALL sections.

The closing date for 2024 applications is 30 April 2024.

Life Sciences Challenge

An inter-school competition for year 10 pupils consisting of a quiz designed and delivered by both PhD students and early career researchers (Post Doctoral Researchers and Junior Fellows).

These are individuals who are passionate about science, and have chosen to dedicate their lives to scientific research. They want to share this enthusiasm for trying to understand the natural world with pupils in Wales.

We hope that by giving pupils the opportunity to meet young scientists working locally, we will inspire them to consider the possibilities of scientific careers.

Some of the questions will follow the National Curriculum, but others may require knowledge gained from further reading/investigation.

Importantly, some questions will test pupils' ability to analyse data and apply logic and learned knowledge to unfamiliar concepts. Questions will be largely Biology and Chemistry based, but could involve aspects of Physics and Geology where these pertain to understanding the living world.

How to enter

To enter a team (or several teams) in the preliminary online round, please email medicengagement@cardiff.ac.uk. Closing date for entries is end of January 2024.

Why is work experience needed?

Medical schools require applicants to have an understanding of what a career in medicine involves. It is therefore essential that applicants gain people-focused experience of providing care or service before submitting their application.

There are two basic types of experience that applicants can have:

1. Working with other people in a caring or service role, and in particular with people who are ill, disabled or disadvantaged. (Strongly recommended)

2. Direct observation of healthcare.

It is important to remember that work experience can take many forms. It can be a voluntary opportunity or a paid job. While shadowing a doctor can be useful, medical schools recognise that this is not attainable for everyone. They see volunteering in a residential care home as just as good a source of experience. If you have a weekend job in a shop, then this can be a good source of experience too.

Where to start

To get work experience, prepare a short CV and hand this in to places in your area which relate to healthcare, saying that you are willing to volunteer. These places could be care homes, hospices, general practice surgeries, and of course hospitals. If you have no luck with this then do not worry.

Other useful activities might include reading medical journals or following news about the National Health Service. These things will emphasise an interest in a medical career and willingness to research. If you know any doctors or can talk to your GP then arranging time to speak with one will provide you with material to use in the interview, as well as demonstrate motivation and initiative. All healthcare professionals can be a valuable source of information and experience, not just doctors. After all, doctors work as part of large teams involving many healthcare professions, so demonstrating that you have a sense of those professions and how they work together will help you in both your personal statement and interview.

It is important to remember that your experiences are only as good as how you reflect on them in your personal statement and at interview. The ability to reflect on what you have learnt, both about yourself and about medicine, through your experiences is the key thing medical schools are looking for when they assess your application.

Work experience guidance during the Covid-19 pandemic

Medical schools are aware that the opportunities open to you have been affected and will take this into account. Make sure to check the medical school's website for information on work experience. Additionally, keep in mind that clinical work experience is not generally a requirement for applying to medical school in any year.

Read our guidance on gaining relevant experience to study medicine in the time of Covid-19 for ideas on how to gain experience during the pandemic. Our tips for gaining relevant experience include:

Keeping a reflective diary on what is happening in the news and online

Many healthcare professionals are posting online about their experience of working during the pandemic. Listen to what they have to say and reflect on this. All healthcare professionals can be a valuable source of information and experience, not just doctors. After all, doctors work as part of large teams involving many healthcare professions, so demonstrating that you have a sense of those professions and how they work together will help you in both your personal statement and interview. Remember that some media sources are more reliable than others and that sometimes 'political spin' is put on articles to help create a headline.

Making use of online resources

There are some fantastic free online resources available that will give you a taste of what working in healthcare is all about. For example:

Brighton and Sussex Medical School has created a freevirtual work experiencecourse which explores several different medical specialities

RCGP has also created a free interactive platform calledObserve GPwhich highlights the many different aspects of working in primary care

The GMC and NHS England have developed a free virtual reality app providing insight into a patient's journey to GP practice

Volunteer in your spare time

All forms of voluntary work can provide helpful work experience. While volunteer work in the NHS might be disrupted at this time other schemes may still be in operation and worth exploring.

Useful volunteering websites may include, but are not limited to:

Gaining relevant experience to study medicine and the impact of Covid-19

Virtual work experience

These courses have been recognised by medical schools as a suitable element of relevant experience to help prepare an application to medicine.

Do you like solving mind-bending mathematical brainteasers?

Can you and your friends untangle some fiendish puzzles?

Would you like the chance to use your mathematical skills to win some great prizes?

Then the MathsBombe is for you!

MathsBombe is aimed at students up to Year 13 (England and Wales), S6 (Scotland), Year 14 (Northern Ireland). You don't need to be a computer whizz or a mathematical genius - you just need to keep your wits about you and be good at solving puzzles!

What do I have to do and how can I take part?

The competition will start on Wednesday 27th January 2021.

Every two weeks a new pair of puzzles will be released, on Wednesday afternoons at 4pm (UK time). Each puzzle set contains two mathematical puzzles for you and your team to solve. The puzzles span the whole spectrum of mathematics: from fiendish logic puzzles in pure mathematics to applications of mathematics in real-world settings. You'll need to keep your wits about you and `think-outside-the-box': complicated techniques from A-level or computer coding probably won't help you!

The organisation of the competition in 2021 will be different from previous years. While we are still releasing puzzles, the competition is open to the public with no registration. Unfortunately there won't be a forum this year.

Although you can't register a team for the competition this year, you are welcome to team up with your friends and attempt the puzzles together. You will be able to check if your solution is right, and we'll let you know if you are the first person to find the solution for that puzzle!

If you would like to be notified about this and future Mathsbombe competitions, please sign up for an email reminder.

About the organisers.

MathsBombe is organised by the Department of Mathematics at The University of Manchester. It is the sister competition to the Alan Turing Cryptography Competition.

The competition is supported by the Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw Trust.

Book onto online talks throughout the year!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This series of talks is designed to cover a range of topics within criminology, sociology and policing in order to inspire students in further education to look at these areas for careers and higher education. The talks are designed so that the first half will feature a lecture from one of our academics that discusses an area of their research or specialism, followed by a session focused on supporting students who are looking at university.

Please note that these talks are recorded and posted to our social media, therefore we ask that you keep cameras and microphones off when joining the talks. We will cover some sensitive subjects that may be difficult for some students, therefore please be aware of this when signing your class up.

Understanding Mental Health in Crime, Policing and Justice - Dr Ashley Cartwright
Wednesday 20th September 12.30pm - 1.30pm

The first half of this talk will outline the importance of understanding mental health within forensic contexts from its association with crime, to its prevalence within the criminal justice system, through to its effect on those who investigate crime and work with offenders. Unfortunately, mental health is a vast problem across all areas of the criminal justice system and this talk will illuminate why we need a future generation of Criminologist, Sociologists and Policing graduates to tackle this crisis. The second half will focus on introducing students to higher education, the different choices they will have to make, and what university can do for them.

Housing Asylum Seekers - Professor Phil Brown
Wednesday 27th September 2023 12.30pm - 1.30pm

Housing has always had a close association with refugees and the resettlement of refugees is, at its core, a housing issue. Refugees move from their home to finally arrive in a nation-state which provides them with security of status and the promise of assistance to continue their lives. At the foundation of this promise is the provision of a safe and secure home. Despite this, the knowledge base about housing and its significance to the lives of refugees lacks cohesion. This is particularly concerning given the general agreement that housing is one of the key pillars of integration and access to housing remains at the centre of localised debates regarding the fairness and community impact of immigration. We know that many refugees experience issues such as poor housing conditions, discrimination, lack of housing security, and a lack of access to affordable housing. What does this mean for the lives refugees are trying to re-make in the UK? I will look back over 30-years of refugee resettlement to talk about what we know so far and what this means for the future. The second half of this talk will give students the chance to hear from some of the students within our division. They will be talking about what it's like to go to university and study sociology, criminology and policing.

Sociology of the Unborn: when does a person become a 'person'? - Dr Julie Ellis
Wednesday 11th October 2023 12.30pm - 1.30pm

In conjunction with Baby Loss Awareness Week (9 th - 15 th of October), the first half of this talk will be looking at the sociology of the unborn. Open any sociology textbook or university course prospectus and you'll get the impression that sociology is all about the study of social life and how people live. This does not mean, however, that sociology is only about the living. Sociological thinking helps us to understand how societies and individuals respond when life stops and it has important things to say about death, loss and the afterlife. With the intention of highlighting some of this lesser-known subject matter, this talk will be about the social worlds and identities of unborn babies whose lives end prematurely during pregnancy or birth. The second half will be looking at writing personal statements for university applications and how to identify key skills and strengths needed for their chosen course.

Is justice for rape victims best met through trials by jury or trials by judges? - Dr Carla Reeves
Wednesday 29th November 2023 12.30pm - 1.30pm

Following the Elimination of Violence Against Women Day on the 25 th of November, this talk will focus on how justice can be achieved for rape victims.

Young people, activism, social movements, and social justice - Dr Grainne McMahon
Wednesday 21st February 2024 12.30pm - 1.30pm

Following World Social Justice Day (20 th February) this talk will look at young people and their approach to social justice nowadays. Far from being disaffected from politics and politically disengaged, recent research suggests that young people now engage in political activities that are biographically meaningful to them and focused on issues most important to young people's lives. Drawing upon extensive learning from ongoing research, this talk will explore young women's and young refugees' engagement with activism and social movements on their own terms in order to pursue social justice and rights relevant to their needs, as members of subjugated and oppressed groups that have, historically, been excluded from formal political spaces and change-making activities. The talk will also explore how sociologists are best placed to research, and then teach, about social movements and social justice work as active, participatory, and changing social phenomena in which young people hold centre-stage. This will be followed by a talk looking at independent living, preparing students for moving into university accommodation and making the most of it.

Drawing upon sociological perspectives we will consider the impact that a lack of access to health care can have on marginalised and global populations. This will then be followed by a talk looking at student life at university which discusses, balancing academics and social life, money and time management, and part time work/volunteering.

International Law Firm Undergraduate Bursary Programme - Apply Now!
"If you are in Year 13 and hold an offer to study law at a UK university, you could be eligible to apply for Sidley’s Undergraduate Bursary programme.  As part of our ongoing commitment to increasing diversity at Sidley and in the wider legal profession, our bursary programme will provide financial support to talented law students from less advantaged backgrounds for the duration of their undergraduate study."

The firm's lawyers have wide-reaching legal backgrounds and are dedicated to teamwork, collaboration and superior client service.

Book onto online talks throughout the year!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This series of talks is designed to cover a range of topics within criminology, sociology and policing in order to inspire students in further education to look at these areas for careers and higher education. The talks are designed so that the first half will feature a lecture from one of our academics that discusses an area of their research or specialism, followed by a session focused on supporting students who are looking at university.

Please note that these talks are recorded and posted to our social media, therefore we ask that you keep cameras and microphones off when joining the talks. We will cover some sensitive subjects that may be difficult for some students, therefore please be aware of this when signing your class up.

Understanding Mental Health in Crime, Policing and Justice - Dr Ashley Cartwright
Wednesday 20th September 12.30pm - 1.30pm

The first half of this talk will outline the importance of understanding mental health within forensic contexts from its association with crime, to its prevalence within the criminal justice system, through to its effect on those who investigate crime and work with offenders. Unfortunately, mental health is a vast problem across all areas of the criminal justice system and this talk will illuminate why we need a future generation of Criminologist, Sociologists and Policing graduates to tackle this crisis. The second half will focus on introducing students to higher education, the different choices they will have to make, and what university can do for them.

Housing Asylum Seekers - Professor Phil Brown
Wednesday 27th September 2023 12.30pm - 1.30pm

Housing has always had a close association with refugees and the resettlement of refugees is, at its core, a housing issue. Refugees move from their home to finally arrive in a nation-state which provides them with security of status and the promise of assistance to continue their lives. At the foundation of this promise is the provision of a safe and secure home. Despite this, the knowledge base about housing and its significance to the lives of refugees lacks cohesion. This is particularly concerning given the general agreement that housing is one of the key pillars of integration and access to housing remains at the centre of localised debates regarding the fairness and community impact of immigration. We know that many refugees experience issues such as poor housing conditions, discrimination, lack of housing security, and a lack of access to affordable housing. What does this mean for the lives refugees are trying to re-make in the UK? I will look back over 30-years of refugee resettlement to talk about what we know so far and what this means for the future. The second half of this talk will give students the chance to hear from some of the students within our division. They will be talking about what it's like to go to university and study sociology, criminology and policing.

Sociology of the Unborn: when does a person become a 'person'? - Dr Julie Ellis
Wednesday 11th October 2023 12.30pm - 1.30pm

In conjunction with Baby Loss Awareness Week (9 th - 15 th of October), the first half of this talk will be looking at the sociology of the unborn. Open any sociology textbook or university course prospectus and you'll get the impression that sociology is all about the study of social life and how people live. This does not mean, however, that sociology is only about the living. Sociological thinking helps us to understand how societies and individuals respond when life stops and it has important things to say about death, loss and the afterlife. With the intention of highlighting some of this lesser-known subject matter, this talk will be about the social worlds and identities of unborn babies whose lives end prematurely during pregnancy or birth. The second half will be looking at writing personal statements for university applications and how to identify key skills and strengths needed for their chosen course.

This workshop looks ahead to a second Trump presidency, using key indications from Donald Trump's election campaign to explore wider themes about American politics.

The United States is often upheld as a beacon of democracy, but events in recent years have revealed serious challenges to US democratic institutions and to America's culture of democracy, which are only likely to intensify over the next four years.

Beginning with a discussion of the purposes of presidential inaugurations and what we might see in Trump's inauguration on 20 January 2025, the workshop explores the likely impact of a second Trump presidency on: freedom of the press; the impartiality of the law; immigration and the basis of citizenship itself with threats to end birthright citizenship.

Fully interactive, this session looks behind the news headlines to explore the meaning of democracy and the relationship between state institutions and democratic culture.

A level Syllabus Themes: Government and politics of the USA; electoral process and direct democracy; political parties; civil rights.

Lecturer Profile: Dr Jenny Mathers is Senior Lecturer in International Politics, Department of International Politics, Aberystwyth University. Dr Mathers is an expert on security, gender and war, and Russian politics. She has extensive media experience, both in the UK and internationally, as well as experience in advising governments and international organisations on current security issues. Dr Mathers received her undergraduate degree from Mount Holyoke College in the United States and her MPhil and DPhil from Oxford University.

Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom, or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. There is no charge to take part.

As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but access to the Headliner recording will continue to be accessible.

Suitable for: Aged 16+ pre-university students studying or with an interest in studying Politics, International Relations and related subjects. Teachers and members of school staff, as always, are welcome too and participants can join as individuals from school/college or home, or as a group from school/college.

The IT Setup: The event will be run on Zoom and participants will be able to join using laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.

In this Religious Studies/Philosophy session, Dr Maria Serban, Lecturer in Philosophy in the School of Politics, Philosophy and Area Studies at University of East Anglia, will run an interactive talk for students on Religion & Euthanasia - The Ethics of End-of-Life Care - Understanding Modern Perspectives .

Join us for a discussion on one of medicine's most challenging ethical debates: end-of-life care.

In this session we will examine how medical advances have shaped our understanding of what constitutes a 'good death' and the complex choices facing modern society. We'll explore different approaches to end-of-life care, from palliative sedation to voluntary euthanasia, and examine how various Religions, including Catholicism, Protestantism and Buddhism, handle these sensitive decisions.

We will also challenge the stark contrast between society's acceptance of euthanasia for pets and other animals, versus the ongoing ethical debates surrounding human end-of-life care. Through case studies and current legislation, you will get to explore the ethical principles that guide these crucial decisions.
Lecturer Profile: Dr Maria Serban
Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. There is no charge to take part.
