Insight Course - Girls only
The School of Computing, Science and Engineering provides an integrated approach by combining computing with engineering and the physical sciences. We are therefore able to offer a range of exciting undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that not only provide a solid grounding in a particular subject but can also allow students to broaden their knowledge and capability. This, we believe, is what students will increasingly require to enter the modern day workplace.
Headstart’s Insight at Salford involves team exercises and a one day project work in one of the following areas: physics, biomedical engineering, audio, video, acoustics, aeronautical engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, civil engineering, computing. You will also have a chance visit industry, participate in group presentations and listen to talks by practising women engineers and scientists, admissions tutors and careers services.
Visits to companies in the North West have included British Airways Engineering, British Aerospace Systems, The BBC, Kellogg’s, Manchester Airport, Airbus and Ove Arup.
Insight at Salford is a valuable introduction to engineering and science and life on campus, but it is not all work: you will make new friends at the social events - fun activities in the University’s own swimming pool, visit the theatre, a tour of concord at Manchester Aviation Park and the course dinner with an after-dinner speaker from industry.
This Headstart course includes a ‘Dragonfly’ module, where younger students from local schools are mentored by some of the girls attending the main course earlier in the week.
Dragonfly at Salford is supported by The Royal Air Force and we are pleased to welcome their participation as Lead Sponsor for the Dragonfly programme. |
