In2scienceUK was founded in 2010 and aims to provide young people from low-income and disadvantaged backgrounds an opportunity to gain practical insight into the STEM sector, as well as the knowledge and confidence to progress to university.
Each year In2scienceUK receives over 3,000 student applications and gives over 500 students the opportunity to take part in life-changing STEM placement opportunities, working alongside researchers and industry professionals to get hands-on STEM experience over the summer.
To date, 75% of participants progress onto STEM degrees. This is something we are proud of, as we are not a 'gifted and talented' programme and aim to take students of all levels studying STEM subjects.
