For students

Apply for your UNITECH year.

Every March, a new cohort of 80+ students starts the programme after an Assessment Center at their home university. A trully transformative year full of traveling, networking and learning is ahead. Here is how to get there.

WHO CAN APPLY

You can apply if you…

study full-time at one of our nine partner universities

are in your 3rd or 4th year of STEM studies when you apply (you take part in your 4th or 5th year)

are proficient in English, the language of the programme. Some universities ask for a certificate

meet any extra criteria set by your own university

Loughborough students: you need to be on an Engineering MEng programme. [Update the Part B/C rule for this year.]

HOW IT WORKS
