The University of Strathclyde are running (remotely) their annual programme this June aimed at inspiring S3 girls to pursue careers in engineering.  This will happen through hearing from female engineers within industry and taking a glimpse into what a career in engineering could look like.

Applications are open to anyone, however as there are only 100 places available it would be best suited for those with a keen interest in Science, Technology and/or Engineering – this will need to be demonstrated within their personal statement and details will have to be given of a teacher who can support this. For this reason, ideally you will be currently studying Physics and/or Chemistry.

More details at the attached link.
