We are delighted to say that the application form for 2026 entry is now live! Deadline for submissions is the 1st Feb 2026 and all applications will be considered together after that date.

Please see attached posters for the Yr10 and Yr12 programmes.
Yr10 Work Experience Programmes
The 7 different Yr10 WEX programmes on offer are:
- Biochemistry and Cellular Medicine - Cells and Molecules (30 places)
- Biological Sciences - Animal Minds: Evolution and Behaviour (20 places)
- Biological Sciences - Green Planet: Plants and Ecosystems (20 places)
- Engineering (35 places)
- Geographical Sciences (6 places)

- Arts, Law and Social Sciences (10 places)
All yr10 programmes will be taking place from the 29th June to the 3rd July 2026 at the Clifton Campus so please check with your school if the dates differ from your official work experience week as most schools will still allow you to attend.
Due to the volume of students on the programmes, we are unfortunately unable to offer any assistance with accommodation or travel for the week. Please check with your school in case they can assist with this.
Lunches maybe provided and you will be informed nearer the time if they are. You will need to be able to get to campus for the correct start time each day and stay for the whole day to get the most out of the week.
Core hrs for WEX programmes are 10-3.30pm and there will be some variation in the start and end time between programmes.
