The University of Huddersfield plans to create a new lab specifically geared towards A-level science teaching as part of a new £18.2 million science block it is building. It says it is the first time a UK university has created a lab for this purpose.

Equipment within the ‘super lab’ will be available to schools and colleges within a 60-mile radius of Huddersfield, allowing A-level and BTEC students to carry out more advanced practical work.
