Lab
Harris Westminster reveals its most scholarly aspect on a Tuesday afternoon with students driving their own schedules and creatively and independently making use of the time and resources available to them. However, Lab is more than just a Tuesday afternoon activity: it is a state of mind of scholarly focus, of creative and independent application to working hard, to doing hard work and to getting into those top universities across the world.
Every Tuesday afternoon there is also a Lab lecture: students can elect to spend one hour of the session listening to, and asking scholarly questions of, a vast range of immensely eminent and impressive speakers from across a range of disciplines. A list of some of the speakers and the lectures from this year is given below.
Finally, a small number of students are invited after each lecture to Principal’s Tea where they are able to interact with the guests in a smaller group and hone their intellectual and networking skills.
The following list gives you a taste of some of the Lab lectures that are taking place this academic year:
