Headstart
An opportunity for students at
the end of Year twelve/ Scottish Year five (sixteen
and seventeen year- olds) to spend four days in the
summer at a university engineering facility to learn
more about engineering and allied courses, and be
briefed about engineering careers prior to making
their UCAS application.
Student quality is very high:
80% have between three and ten GCSE A or A* grades
and 90% have more than eight A to C passes, and are
taking A level mathematics with science subjects,
usually physics, amongst other subjects. Typically
720 students are placed on courses each year.
In addition to living at the
university, Headstart students engage in hands- on
design, build and test projects, meet recent
engineering graduates, and attend seminars and
lectures. Visits to local engineering companies are
made and sponsors are invited to attend. Headstart
operates in England, Scotland and Wales.
