EDT Headstart Courses for STEM Careers


Headstart is a programme for students age 16-17  who are interested in studying Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects at university, for example subjects such as Aeronautical Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry etc.

Students are offered the chance to attend a week long summer school at their choice of top university  which will give you a chance to decide which course would be for you and a chance to experience undergraduate study.

To find out more, please visit: http://www.etrust.org.uk/headstart/courses

You will have to pay for the course, however if you feel that you and your family are under financial hardship, you may be able to apply for a Bursary.


If you need support with your application to a Headstart programme please see your Progress Tutor or Helen Lonsdale (bottom floor LRC).
