Applications for STEM Potential Y12 are now open!
This two-year programme aims to support you in your Y12 and Y13 studies via lectures, subject specific workshops and university application guidance, all of which is underpinned by regular contact with an e-mentor.
There will be a number of contact days when you are expected to attend scheduled events at Imperial College London – these days will be to help you to prepare for your university application including support for your personal statement and mock interview sessions, alongside Masterclasses in the Science and Maths subjects.
In addition, you will be allocated an e-mentor (a current UG or PG student studying at Imperial) who is available to answer any questions you may have regarding university life and Imperial, via the e-mentoring platform. They will be available for regular contact to offer support and advice when you need it during the programme.
