‘KinderUni’ – Geology
School children experience university life in day.
The earth’s interior is hot. We get an insight to this during volcanic eruptions, when liquid rock reaches the earth’s surface. The students investigated the processes at work in volcanoes through a series of experiments.

A Day at Uni!
The Department again hosted a class of grammer school students on Tuesday morning, 18th April, 2023. About 50 students experienced a taste of University life, including short lectures and practicals on a range of themes. The morning allowed the students to gain an introduction into the effects of climate change on mountains, processes of mountain building, examination of rocks using different microscopes, how a compass works as well as investigating life in a waterdrop.
Note, there are still some free spots available for up-coming open days! More information can be found here.
