Success for Black Engineers

A King’s College London programme designed to better support aspiring Black engineers and physicists

  • Black school pupils in years 9 to 12
  • Black undergraduate engineering (biomedical, electronic and general) and physics students
 
 

Now including Physics!

We have exciting news. Our 2024-25 Mentoring Programme is now be open to Physics students as well as Engineering students. Read more about the scheme and apply by 13 October on our Mentoring page.

 

Black students do not lack ability or ambition. Yet, they have lower attainment in post-16 and undergraduate engineering and physics education. This leads to subsequent under-representation in various engineering careers.

Our vision is to change this and to have a more diverse and representative community across King’s. The Success for Black Students programme is helping us to achieve this positive change.

I found the Q&A session extremely useful, where all my questions about engineering were answered, and I was able to make an informed decision about choosing it as a possible future career– School pupil who attended a workshop on Routes into Engineering
