- once an application has been submitted no changes can be made – pupils are asked to ensure they are completely happy with the information entered on the application before submitting.
- when an application is submitted, the nominated teacher will receive an e-mail request to provide a supporting statement on the pupil’s application by logging into our online system (the deadline for supporting statements will be outlined above).
- please note that we are unable to consider applications if a supporting statement from the teacher is not provided.
Pupils will be informed of decisions by e-mail after a selection panel made up of staff from the Faculty of Engineering meet to consider applications. - unfortunately, due to the volume of applications, we are unable to provide feedback on individual applications.
Successful applicants will be informed as to which of the dates they have been allocated to attend (either 22-23 January OR 24 January for a virtual session OR 25-26 January 2024). Please note that applicants will be allocated to a specific date by the Young WEIR-WISE organising committee and this date will be final – changes cannot be made following the allocation. - teachers and parents/guardians will be informed by e-mail as to whether their pupil/ward has been successful.
- parents will be asked to provide consent for their child to participate.
