What is the Children's University?
The Children’s University is part of a national organisation offering children aged 5–14 years an exciting and innovative programme of high quality learning opportunities, with a focus on rewarding participation and encouraging engagement with learning. The Children’s University introduces children to the joy of learning, develops their confidence and helps build aspirations for bright futures. As part of this national scheme, the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, offer ‘learning destination’ workshops to help primary school children think about what a career in healthcare means. The aspiration building activities cover topics such as ‘teddy bear hospital’, ‘my visit to the dentist’, 'basic life support' and ‘asthma and airways’.
The Children’s University also offers parents a more informal and accessible way to become involved in their children’s learning, as Children’s University provision is delivered outside school hours, evenings, weekends and during school holidays.
