School Outreach Programs

School of Biomedical Sciences programs

The School of Biomedical Sciences is only able to offer limited outreach programs for school groups at the present time. Activities we participate in are coordinated through the Faculty of Science (see below). Please contact the Faculty's Engagement Team on 3365 1888 for more information. 

Please note that there is opportunity for prospective students and their families to visit our Anatomy Museum at the UQ Open Day held each year in August. Please check the UQ website in July for details of this event. On Open Day, the Anatomy Museum is open to the public from 9am - 3pm and everyone is encouraged to visit and experience what it is like to 'look inside' the human body.

Faculty of Science programs

The School of Biomedical Sciences is actively involved in school outreach programs offered by the Faculty of Science at The University of Queensland.

These programs include the following:

• Australian Brain Bee Challenge (ABBC), a neuroscience competition for high school students from every State in Australia and parts of New Zealand who are interested in a career in biomedical brain science.
• Biofutures Camp, a live-in program with a focus on biotechnology and biomedical sciences for students in Years 10-12.
• Experience Science Days, which allow students in Years 10-12 to participate in 'hands-on' workshops in a variety of disciplines.
• Science Experience, a three-day program for Year 9 and 10 students that involves them in 'hands-on' science activities.
• Science Immersion Program, a 14-day program for Year 10 students which provides an opportunity to experience the life of a research scientist.
• Science Workshops for Indigenous students in Years 6-12 and Indigenous communities presented during National Science Week.
