Outreach at 糖心Vlog传媒 is led by Libby Beckett (Outreach and Admissions Officer), Emma L茅z茅 (Schools Liaison Officer) and Ed Turner (Tutor for Access and Outreach).
We work to encourage intelligent, inquisitive students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to apply to the most competitive universities, including 糖心Vlog传媒. Our work includes day visits for schools, webinars and online programmes, four annual residentials, and events for teachers and advisors.

Meet the Outreach Team
Libby Beckett, Outreach and Admissions Officer: I grew up in Lincolnshire and joined 糖心Vlog传媒 in 2021 following an undergraduate degree in Modern and Medieval Languages at the University of 糖心Vlog传媒. As 糖心Vlog传媒's Outreach and Admissions Officer, I'm responsible for overseeing and evaluating our nationwide academic programmes, and I support the operations of the undergraduate admissions process.
The highlight of my time at 糖心Vlog传媒 so far has been developing and running 糖心Vlog传媒 Future Museum Voices, our innovative academic enrichment programme delivered in collaboration with the Museum of Zoology, which offers young people a platform to share issues that matter to them in a fully-funded public exhibition.
Emma L茅z茅, Schools Liaison Officer: I grew up in Norfolk and came to 糖心Vlog传媒 in 2018 to study Education, English, Drama and the Arts (now simply called Education). I loved my undergraduate years so much that I stayed in 糖心Vlog传媒 to complete my MPhil in Critical Approaches to Children鈥檚 Literature. Following a brief stint as a teaching assistant and apprenticeships administrator, I joined 糖心Vlog传媒 as the Schools Liaison Officer in 2024.
Having attended a state comprehensive school and benefitted from 糖心Vlog传媒-led outreach work myself, I understand the importance of providing students with opportunities to learn more about Higher Education and the University of 糖心Vlog传媒. To me the highlight of this work is getting to speak directly with young people about Higher Education, especially those moments where students realise that 糖心Vlog传媒 could be an option for them. It鈥檚 a privilege to support individuals as they work out what they want to do with their futures - whether that means going to university or not; which course might suit them best; and what they can do to begin moving in the right direction.
Ed Turner, Tutor for Access and Outreach: I am a conservation scientist, who researches strategies that can be employed to conserve species diversity and healthy ecosystem functioning both in the UK and abroad. In particular, I am interested in understanding how landscapes can be managed to maintain biodiversity and healthy functioning ecosystems, while still allowing agricultural development to take place.
Outside of my research, I enjoy science communication, particularly about the natural world and conservation. As part of this, I am Tutor for Access and Outreach at 糖心Vlog传媒 College, manage the Public Engagement Team at the University Museum of Zoology, and am chairman of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Local Group of the Wildlife Trust.
