This outreach programme is funded by Imperial College London and aims to support state school students from backgrounds under-represented at university and Imperial. We use the criteria below to assess who is eligible to participate. The more criteria you meet, the more likely your application will be successful.

We recommend that you use our eligibility checker tool to see if you are eligible to apply.

We will prioritise your application if:

You have been in care

You live independently (estranged), meaning you no longer have the support of your family due to a breakdown in the relationship which has led to ceased contact

We will also assess whether:

You are a young carer and have caring responsibilities for a close relative with a disability, long-term illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem that is a significant demand on your time

Your family income is below £50,000 each year

You are eligible for free school meals and/or pupil premium

Your parents/guardians did not attend university

You live in a neighbourhood with low overall progression rates to higher education (POLAR4 Quintile 1 or 2 areas) or high levels of deprivation (IMD Quintile 1 areas)

Your school has a high percentage of students receiving free school meals

Your school has below average attainment

To be eligible for this programme, you should:

Expect to study a science, technology, engineering or maths subject at university

Have achieved a minimum of eight GCSEs with at least five at grades 7-9, including maths and sciences

Applications for summer 2023 are now closed. Late applications cannot be considered. We will release decisions on 5 May.
Applications are made through Aspire, our online application system. A link to Aspire will be added to this webpage once applications are open.

Setting up your account
You must create an account with Aspire before you can complete your application.

If you have applied to an Imperial Outreach programme in the past, you can use your existing account. There is a forgotten password feature on the Aspire login page.

If this is your first application to one of our programmes, we recommend you use a personal email address rather than a school email address when creating your account. Security settings in some school email servers will prevent you from receiving emails from Aspire.

Completing your application
Once you are logged in you will need to start a new application. As part of the application form you will need to tell us about your school, the subjects you are currently studying and the course(s) you plan to study post-16. Although the form will force you to include English, Maths and Science for Key Stage 4 (GCSE or equivalent) and ask you if you are planning on studying specific STEM subjects post-16, you do need to tell us about all the subjects you are studying at school. Please use the 'Other subjects' section to add this information.

Please take care to ensure you select the correct programme when using the drop-down options. Some of our programmes have similar names, so it is important to double-check.

You will be asked questions relating to the eligibility criteria listed above. Where possible, please try to have this information to hand before you apply. You will also be asked to write a short personal statement. This gives you the chance to tell us more about why you are applying for this programme and why you think you would be suitable.

As part of the application process, we will seek references from a parent/guardian and a teacher at your current school. Please speak to the individuals you would like to provide these references in advance, so you can check you have the correct email address and contact numbers for them and that they are happy to support your application.

References
Once you have successfully submitted your application, we will email your parent/guardian and teacher referees. They will be sent a personalised link to Aspire, where they will provide information to support your application.

The reference forms ask similar questions about the eligibility criteria and include the opportunity to provide a supporting statement. These statements can be used to let us know about other challenges you may have faced and/or what you might get out of participating in the programme. Teachers will also be asked to verify the subject/grade information you provided in your application.

Decisions
We will release decisions via email on 5 May 2023. If you are offered a place on the programme, or on the waitlist, you will have a limited amount of time to accept this offer. Successful applicants will receive details on the next steps.

For information about the application process, please see our application FAQs.

Model Law Commission.  Apply by 7pm on Friday 11 September 2026

# data[].attributes.body
Now in its 14th year, the Model Law Commission is a three-month long project that provides A-Level students with the chance to simulate the work of the Law Commission. We split the pool of students into four groups, each tasked with the reform of one of the following areas of law: (1) Family, Trusts or Land Law; (2) Criminal Law; (3) Commercial and Common Law; or (4) Public Law. From October to December, students undertake a five-stage process: research, formulating recommendations, consulting with their peers, reporting on their proposals and devising their legislation.

Each year, the Model Law Commission begins with a two-day in person conference in London. It is over the course of these two days that students are introduced to their respective topics by experts in the field who come from all over the country to speak to them.

The students are also visited by individuals from the Law Commission itself visit our students and advise on the difficulties in reforming the law and how to write a law reform report. The students then take that information and over the following weeks discuss reform ideas with each other, their Group Leaders and their peers.

The project then concludes with a final in person report launch event in London in January, hosted by MPs and visitors from the Law Commission. At the event, each student will receive a printed and published copy of their group's reform report.

If you are interested in learning more about the way law works in the UK, the way it is made and changed, then you are strongly encouraged to apply.

The project will take place between September 2026 and January 2027.

To apply, please complete a brief application form by clicking here. The deadline for applications is 7pm on Friday 11 September 2026.

Supreme Court Mooting (legal debate) Competition.  Apply by 7pm on 26 March 2026

# data[].attributes.body
We offer students the opportunity to compete in our Mooting Competition in association with the Supreme Court.

A "moot" simulates a court hearing (usually an appeal), in which participants analyse a fictional case, research the relevant law, prepare written submissions and then present an oral argument.

If you are selected to participate in the competition, you will be paired up with current law students, including students on the Bar Professional Training Course (the course people undertake to become a barrister), who act as "Mooting Mentors". This structure enables you to not only experience court advocacy, but also develop your knowledge of the law and nurture your communication skills with the help of those already pursuing a career in law.

The competition takes place between 6.30 and 8.30pm, starting with a training session, where you will be taught all about mooting. The 2026 competition runs every Thursday evening between 5 February and 23 April 2026, with the final (which is judged by a Supreme Court Justice) taking place on Thursday 30 April 2026 between 4:30 and 7pm.

To apply complete a brief application form by clicking here. The deadline for applications is 7pm on 2 January 2026. We recommend that students apply as soon as possible.

Engage our students in law and legal policy

Improve diversity in the legal profession

We believe that a person's background should not be a barrier to entering the legal profession and that the legal system can only benefit from the profession better reflecting the society we live in.

To achieve our aims, we offer opportunities throughout the year for young people between the ages of 16 and 18 years old, who are currently studying for or have recently completed their A-Levels at a non-fee paying school or college.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In 2011 a group of law students worked together to design an outreach project called 'Big Voice London'. The project helped students from non-fee paying schools in and around London to explore the UK legal system.

Since then, we have worked with over 2000 young people and grown into a social mobility charity operating across England and Wales. In 2021, to reflect our national presence, we became 'BVL'.
