The BISC program places an emphasis on primary research, an academic possibility most students do not get to experience until their postgraduate studies. We set up opportunities for primary research for both first year and upper year undergraduates; because we believe it fosters active learning and independent thought.

Here at the castle we have a unique opportunity to involve students in all areas of primary research, from delving through the BISC’s archives to sampling the biodiversity on our 600-acre estate.
Our Digital Exhibitions showcase the best student-led primary research that is taking place at the BISC.
