Encouraging science, technology, engineering and mathematics
Based in the university's Faculty of Science and Engineering, the STEM Sussex team bring together businesses, school pupils and science professionals to develop understanding of careers in these sectors and explore the future needs of employers.
Here are some examples of our work:
Engineering Education Scheme
Year 12 students gain skills and experience by working on a real industrial problem in partnership with a company for 5 to 6 months. The scheme includes a three day residential workshop at the university and culminates in an assessment day for students, teachers and company representatives.
