Our three programmes, Dental Futures, Healthcare Futures and Medicine Futures, are designed to inspire and support Year 12 students interested in pursuing careers in Dentistry, Healthcare or Medicine. Running for twelve months from January, your chosen programme will also help you develop your skills and subject knowledge, giving you the opportunity to take part in talks, workshops and other enrichment activities alongside your current studies.
Each of our programmes are slightly different in terms of the scheduled activities throughout the year: specific details will be confirmed at the start of each programme. Each of our programmes runs from January in Year 12 to December in Year 13. The details below give you a general idea of the activities involved in each of our programmes.
Sessions will be delivered via an online platform such as Zoom or MS Teams. University staff and current students will deliver content, with opportunities for you to interact and participate. Most of the activity is planned to take place online, however we do hope that there will be an opportunity to welcome you to the University of Leeds campus and for you to meet your fellow participants face to face. Subject to restrictions, we plan to offer two campus days for each programme.
Online sessions will take place on a weekday evening, during term-time, so that they do not interfere with your current studies.
Our Futures programmes are open to current Year 12 / first year college students who have a genuine interest in applying to study health-related courses at university. We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity to students from all backgrounds, recognising that some groups are under-represented on university courses and in certain health careers.
