Working with P5 to P7 and taking place in-school and on-campus, the Young Strathclyder Primary programme involves pupils completing interactive activities based on each of Strathclyde’s four faculties. After completing the programme, P7 pupils and their parents/guardians are invited to a Graduation ceremony at the Barony Hall on the Strathclyde campus. 850 pupils from 10 Glasgow schools took part in the 2022/23 pilot of the P6 & P7 elements of the programme.

Here’s what some of our participants have thought about the programme:
“I really liked it because one of our mentors did the things at university what I want to do when I grow up and I think she was really cool.”
“I liked it because it was fun and I learnt new things.”
“I think people go to University so they can chase their dreams.”
“I loved spending time with the mentors and this was one of the best things I’ve ever done. All the people I met were amazing. I can’t wait till I come here again!”
“I liked science because I have never done science and I got to solve a case.”
“The mentors were kind and it was cool.”
