Posted: 03 May 2012 10:00 AM PDT

The Faculties is a free educational resource for secondary schools and especially A-level students and teachers. The site provides short films of university lecturers speaking on topics from the A-level curriculum in Maths, English, Biology, Psychology, Chemistry and History.

The site aims to encourage deeper learning, stretch and inspire students and help them make a successful transition to university. In addition to the podcasts, there is information that helps students compare University departments across the country and choose the best one for them. The site also shows prospective students what sorts of careers follow their chosen degree.

Visit the site here and and follow them on Twitter.
