Welcome to the

Amgen Biotech Experience – United Kingdom

Scientific Discovery for the Classroom

The Amgen Biotechnology Experience (ABE) is a global initiative, designed to support teachers and technicians to enrich and extend biology learning and teaching, particularly for students ages 14–18, through the experience and excitement of real-world bioscience.

In the UK, the programme is coordinated by the Teacher Scientist Network (TSN) through a network of regional hubs, providing training, equipment and ongoing support to secondary schools and colleges. ABE UK aims to empower every student, regardless of background, to see science as relevant, attainable and connected to future study and careers.

Visit our What Is ABE? page to explore how the programme works. To hear first-hand experiences from teachers and students, and discover the impact ABE has had in their classrooms and learning journeys, you can also watch this video: ABE Teacher and Student Stories.
