If you’re currently in Year 10 and qualify for free school meals or pupil premium then this Science and Engineering Summer School is for you.

This year 10 residential summer school aims to encourage participants to continue studying science and engineering subjects after their GCSE’s (or equivalent) by 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 several 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.

What to expect

Students will experience university life in London by 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 off campus.

At the end of the week there will be an academic-style conference. You will work in groups to prepare a poster explaining a concept you learned during the week. You will present your poster to your peers, workshop leaders and invited guests.

This summer school is fully funded (free to successful applicants), which includes all course fees, materials, accommodation, three meals a day as well as any trips that are part of the summer school. Travel is not included. However, financial support is available for successful applicants travelling from outside of London.
