– Immersive experience: join a diverse community of international students and experience a fully immersive approach to understanding STEM subjects.

– Outstanding facilities: students will learn in state-of-the-art laboratories in Concord’s purpose-built science building. Classroom teaching is supported by experienced lab technicians.

– Balancing theory and practice: theoretical content is applied through practical and experiential learning.

This course offers students the chance to explore the principles and practical applications of STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.

Science

All students will experience laboratory-based theory and practical tasks covering all three sciences – Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

They will explore Science topics in a practical course. The topics covered are varied and give students theoretical knowledge and practical opportunities in the Sciences. Students aged 13 – 16 years will have an introduction to GCSE standard or equivalent content in Science.

Technology or Engineering

Students will enhance their practical use of Science and Mathematics, through exploring the exciting field of Technology or Engineering. They will develop their design and construction skills, whilst developing skills in problem solving and discovering their creativity.

Themes and topics may include the adventurous world of Automotive Engineering or Aeronautical Engineering, with the chance to test their designs and models.

Maths

Through these lessons, students will stretch their mathematical thinking through analysing a range of concepts, numbers, models and will develop their problem-solving skills through project challenges empowering them with skills to apply to everyday life or in their future studies.

An extensive interactive course which is delivered through a hands-on practical approach. Students will enhance their communicative and interpersonal skills whilst working together on STEM subjects.

A minimum English language level of B1 would be expected to join the STEM Summer School
