2025 Programme

We are delighted to be offering Engineering the Future for Girls again in May 2025 for female school pupils in S3.

100 girls will be selected to attend the 4-day programme which will run from Monday 19 – Thursday 22 May 2025.

Participants will spend 4 days on the University of Strathclyde campus where they will hear from staff at the University and company representatives who will provide an insight into studying and working in the field of engineering. They will also take part in practical activities run by University of Strathclyde staff and engineers.

The programme is fully-funded by our partners, The Weir Group, Trinity House, West Fraser and BAM Nuttall and all student costs, including a contribution towards travel (up to a maximum of £300), will be covered. The programme is non-residential and therefore pupils should be able to make their way each day to the Strathclyde University Campus in the heart of Glasgow City Centre. Teachers are not required to attend and, for the pupils’ convenience, we will arrange for Mentors to accompany pupils from and to the main transport hubs in Glasgow at the start and end of each day.

Application process

  • Pupils should apply using our online application form which will be available from the link at the top of this page when applications open.
  • Please see above for a list of key dates relating to application deadlines etc.
  • Pupils are asked to supply the name and contact details of a teacher who can provide a statement in support of their application. Teachers will receive an automated email which will include a designated link to the online application to submit their statement.
