In September, BASES will launch a poster competition aimed at engaging students aged between 14 and 18 and studying GCSE, BTEC or A-level subjects related to sport and exercise sciences.
Students will be invited onto campus to engage in workshops and practical activities ending with an offer to enter the competition.
As an Outreach Hub, Lancaster will judge the local entries and submit one to the national competition.
