English and Science Summer School at University College London for Young People
About this opportunity
We are a group of UCL PhD students and research staff who are part of an organisation called Bridging The Future and have organised an outreach programme for refugee, young migrant and asylum-seeking students aged 16-21.
The aim of this course is to give students who are considering going into a STEM field the tools to do so. This is the third year we are running this programme since the previous summer schools were really successful!
The summer school will be held at UCL and will run on the following days: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th August 2023. Travel and lunch will be covered for the participating students.
The application form can be found here. The deadline for the application is the 22nd July 2023.
Students signed up for any course/BTEC/GCSEs/A-levels related to STEM subjects with a school/college will get priority for the programme.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions!
Best wishes,
BTF Team
