Our 2026 Programme

We are delighted to be offering the Engineering the Future for Girls again in May 2026 for female school pupils in S3.

100 girls will be selected to attend the 4-day programme which will run from Tuesday 26 – Friday 29 May 2026.

Participants will spend 4 days on the University of Strathclyde campus when 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 and all student costs, including lunch each day and a contribution towards travel and/or accommodation (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 Centr. Teachers are not required to accompany pupils.  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.
