About the Summer School
Applications are now closed. All applicants will hear their outcome in early May
Please note that this summer school is only open to students currently studying in the UK.
This residential summer school for Year 10 students will offer a broad range of experiences across different disciplines. Students can choose to focus on either Science or Engineering and will participate in exciting hands-on activities to gain exposure to current research with the aim of motivating them to recognise the importance of STEM subjects through to A-level and beyond.
In Science, you’ll take part in hands-on practical workshops in Imperial’s undergraduate labs, undertaking experiments which have been developed by real researchers across Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths. We’ll show you how much further you can take these subjects by developing an understanding of some higher level material.
Engineers will be able to try and find out about as many different disciplines as we can pack into the 4 days, such as Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Aeronautics and Materials. You’ll witness some of the latest technology being developed first-hand and try for yourself some of the techniques used to develop new ideas in these exciting fields.
Students on both strands will also experience university life in London through working closely with Undergraduate Mentors and staying in University Halls during this residential Summer School. The course will feature a number of social activities in the evenings in South Kensington and central London. This course is fully funded by Imperial College Outreach and therefore we will be assessing applications for eligibility (please see more information below).
Course Aims
- To provide students with the opportunity to experience a taster of different subjects within their chosen strand
- To inspire students to consider continued study in the STEM subjects
- To improve students academic and communication skills and have confidence in their own ability
- To provide students with a taste of residential university life
