Aimed at students in Year 12 England/ Wales, Year 13 Northern Ireland, S5 Scotland (or equivalent) during the 2022-2023 academic year, the Homerton College Design Programme is intended to equip participants with key skills that are considered highly desirable by university admissions tutors such as communication, problem-solving and research design. The programme is primarily designed for students who are interested in Engineering, Design and Natural Sciences, but applicants may also apply who are interested in other disciplines such as Medicine, Psychology, Maths, Geography, Education, Architecture and Economics. You must simply be keen to engage with the theme of the programme 'Building a Sustainable and Healthy World'.
Applicants should register interest in the programme as a team of two, three or four. All participants will gain access to a selection of subject-specific and skills-based webinar workshops from May to July. We have designed the programme to be flexible to fit around school and examination commitments. Our workshops will provide the support needed to design a sustainable solution to an environmental problem of the assembled team's choosing. Designs may consider any discipline but we expect that most designs will focus on conservation, medicine, energy, recycling, economics or education. In the past, students have designed devices, buildings, educational programmes, gardening strategies, apps and charities; there really are no limits.
Those who participate in the programme and meet certain eligibility criteria will have the opportunity to attend Homerton College's Sustainability Student Conference and/ or Residential- an action-packed event involving talks, workshops, panel discussions, carousel activities and games, all linking to this year's theme of 'Building a Sustainable and Healthy World'. Prizes will also be given as part of this event to the Design Programme's most impressive entries for 2024.
