Public Lecture Series 2009/10
The University Campus Barnsley’s Public Lecture Series introduces an exciting and diverse programme of topics and subjects areas for you to explore. As part of the University of Huddersfield we can offer you the opportunity to listen to top academics who are experts in their field. They will tackle issues which you come across in your everyday life in an interesting and thought-provoking way, backed up by extensive and often internationally recognised research.
All lectures are FREE to attend and you needn't have studied the subject before. You may wish to increase your knowledge on certain topics or simply enjoy listening to new perspectives. If so, make sure you don't miss your chance to attend this fascinating series.
