UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies

We are terribly sad to announce news of the death of a former student, Mr Charles Laine (2008, History and Philosophy of Science). He was involved in a road accident in August in Thailand, and he died of his injuries.

Rethinking assessment

Dr Chiara Ambrosio (UCL Science and Technology Studies) is using creative forms of alternative assessment in her Science, Art and Philosophy course. In this short film, made by UCL Communications, Dr Ambrosio describes how students conduct a literature review, create a poster and present their findings to their peers. This form of assessment engages a wide range of skills and challenges students beyond the traditional modes of essays and examinations.

It's been a busy day in STS with UCAS results coming in and potential students contacting us. Congratulations to those who've made their offers. 

In STS, we're proud of our students, and we delight in singing their praises. Here's another example. 

Congratulations to Faen Cheremeteff-Tracey who has made the Maths and Physical Sciences Faculty Dean's List for her outstanding degree result. Faen is graduating this summer with a a BSc in History & Philosophy of Science. Well done!
