Explore Our Science Masterclasses
Within the College of Science, we offer a range of masterclasses available in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Our masterclasses cover varied topics within these fields in order to inspire the next generation of scientists and support them in deciding what they might like to study if they choose to undertake a degree. All our masterclasses aim to give school and college students an insight into university teaching, in particular giving them a taste of science at Lincoln.
Our dedicated academic team are available to deliver these masterclasses physically, either by visiting your school or college or during a visit to our campus. There is also the possibility for masterclasses to be delivered virtually, either live with the option to include interaction such as question and answer sessions or pre-recorded. Delivery is dependant on your preference, academic availability, and the Government guidelines at the time.
Please explore our range of pre-prepared masterclass topics below and enquire now to make a booking. Alternatively, if you have a particular topic in mind which is not fulfilled by the below options, you can request bespoke activities by contacting us directly at sciencemarketing@lincoln.ac.uk.

Virtual Masterclasses
Over the last two years, as a university we have delivered a multitude of virtual events to a range of different audiences. These have included masterclasses in a number of topics with STEM which are all now readily available to watch via our College of Science YouTube channel. Watch and re-watch our masterclasses at your leisure to get a flavour of teaching at Lincoln. Why not start with our masterclasses from our Fast Foward Event in 2021 which include sessions on Biomedical Science, Medicine, and Physics.
