We offer a work experience week for Oxfordshire students, as well as getting involved in a range of other initiatives.
We usually offer a five-day programme of work experience activities for Year 12 students based in Oxfordshire who are interested in brain research and are planning to go to university.

- a project using magnetoencephalography (MEG)
- short talks about neuroscience research going on in the Department
- mini projects on ophthalmology, sleep, cellular neuroscience and eye movements
