We\u2019re delighted to announce that one of our summer school students, Mar, has earned a prestigious STEM scholarship with the Youth and Science Programme from the\u00a0Fundaci\u00f3 Catalunya La Pedrera<\/a>\u00a0in Spain. Read on to find out more about Mar\u2019s achievement and what the programme is all about.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re very excited to announce that one of our\u00a0Oxford College Summer School<\/a>\u00a0students has been accepted to take part in a three-year programme with Youth and Science programme. This fun and demanding programme aims to encourage and support the scientific vocations of young people in the region and give them the chance to experience scientific research for themselves. The programme covers different areas of science, including biodiversity, genetics and computer science.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2008 by the\u00a0Fundaci\u00f3 Catalunya La Pedrera<\/a>,\u00a0this three-year programme gives 4th year school students the opportunity to work with international scientists to produce their own research papers and take part in an international research team. In order to apply to the programme, students had to have a good academic record and be able to demonstrate a commitment to studying science by intending to study the Scientific or Technological Baccalaureate, as well as having a good level of English<\/a>. To win a place, each student had to defend a scientific case, receive recommendation letters from their\u00a0teachers and pass an interview on Science in English. Over 800 students from around the region applied to programme but only 50 were chosen to take part.<\/p>\n

Mar, who is passionate about maths and physics, was the only candidate chosen from her school. She has been a students with\u00a0Summer Boarding Courses<\/a>\u00a0for the past two years. We\u2019re extremely proud of our high achieving students, so we would like to say a big well done to Mar and we hope she has an amazing experience!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
