“I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do I understand.” Confucius.
This quote is something that I think epitomises the best approach to science education. It is by getting hands-on and doing research that students at any level will develop the depth of understanding that is so important.
For A level students thinking about taking a science degree, initial research into possible courses could appear at first sight as a long list of facts and figures that must be learnt and recited in order to gain a degree. However, studying at university is so much more than that.
As a research-led institution, at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) we try to infuse our passion for discovery and innovation into our undergraduate teaching at every level. We don’t just want our students to “hear” and “see” the latest research techniques or scientific developments, we want them to “do”, to get involved.
