The University of Leeds are partnering with In2scienceUK this year. The In2scienceUK programme gives Year 12students meaningful experiences and expert insights beyond the classroom to support progression to diverse careers within science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Through connecting students to experts from across STEM virtually and in-person, the programme gives them the guidance they need to confidently choose their career pathway and produce high-quality UCAS and apprenticeship applications.
More information about the programme can be found here and interested students can apply here.
Our Leeds Loves STEM student ambassadors have recorded short videos detailing the courses they are studying at Leeds, why they chose the University, the highlights of their time at University so far and their future career plans.
The videos may be of special interest to Key Stage 4&5 students thinking about the next step.
To view the videos and find out more about booking our ambassadors for online talks, please follow the links below.
