This is just to remind you that the closing date for applications for the STEM summer placement scheme is drawing near (23 March 2018). 

So far, we have 28 placements confirmed with another 10 pending.  Over half of the placements are with engineering companies who are particularly keen to encourage girls to become engineers. Here is our complete list of companies:

Auberge du Chocolat	1 food technology	Chesham
Beard	1 construction/architecture	Oxford
BMW Mini	2 mechanical engineering	Oxford

Companies who have shown interest but have yet to confirm include Rowse Honey, Ox Uni Engineering, Ox Uni Geography, Ox Uni Pathology and Nuffield Dept Medicine.

All placements take place during July and August, except the two BMW ones, which will take place during the last two weeks of June. Students should fill out the application form found here: https://scienceoxford.com/schools/secondary-schools/stem-placements/

Rather than high grades, we are looking for students who are self-motivated, have relevant interests and hobbies, who can work well with other people and can follow instructions. We’ll be conducting interviews during April and students will be informed of their placements by the end of April.
