About the Summer School

This Year 10 residential summer school aims to encourage participants to continue studying science and engineering subjects through offering taster sessions of different science and engineering disciplines. 

For the scientists among you, get ready for an action packed four days that will take you deeper into the realms of the subjects you know including Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths, looking at them in new, exciting ways. You will be taking part in hands on practicals and workshops in real Undergraduate labs with some of Imperial’s finest academics and students. 

For the budding engineers, you’ll be amazed at how many different disciplines of engineering we can fit into four days! You will try your hand at a number of different disciplines, and you will also take part in a number of hands on activities, be introduced to some core concepts in engineering and witness first hand exciting technology that is being developed in our research labs. 

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 both in South Kensington and central London. 

Please note, this course is only available to students who are currently domiciled in the UK.
