Outreach
The Outreach team at Imperial has been established for over a decade. We're responsible for delivering a wide range of exciting and inspiring activities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our focus is on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning and progression to higher education including access to medicine and support for post-16 student choices.
We work with schools, colleges and community organisations across the Greater London area to raise aspirations, change perceptions, support teaching staff and stimulate interest in STEM subjects from primary through to A-Level education, as part of Imperial's widening participation and outreach agenda.
As part of our commitment to the Office For Fair Access (OFFA), we have a specially targeted portfolio of activities that form part of the College’s Access Agreement to ensure that every academically talented pupil has the opportunity for support, regardless of their background or situation.
By working closely with teaching staff, we are able to focus that support specifically where it is needed through our dedicated outreach programmes.
We deliver our activities externally in schools and colleges and on campus in the dedicated schools’ Wohl Reach Out Lab on our South Kensington Campus. The Lab is championed by Lord Professor Robert Winston. His vision is carried out by the Outreach STEM delivery team and a team of talented academics from across the College.
