Year 12 Scientists Explore IBERS at Aberystwyth University

Prior to the end of term, our Year 12 Chemistry and Biology students enjoyed a fantastic visit to IBERS (Institute of Biological, Environmental and Rural Sciences) at Aberystwyth University.

During the day, students explored a range of cutting-edge scientific facilities, including the phenomics centre, seed bank, and biorefining centre. They also had the chance to get hands-on in the lab with a DNA extraction and electrophoresis gel experiment.

The visit provided a fascinating insight into real-world scientific research and highlighted the many exciting career pathways within the sciences — all closely connected to their A Level studies.

A truly inspiring and enriching experience for our future scientists.
