Description

Subject: Pan-STEM

The Undergraduate Ambassadors Scheme (UAS) provides the framework for a degree course module awarding academic credit to science, technology, engineering and maths undergraduates working with teachers in local schools.

The UAS aims to benefit all those participating in the module by:

  • Providing key transferable skills to undergraduates which will be invaluable after graduation
  • Providing teaching experience that encourages undergraduates to consider a career in teaching
  • Supplying role models for pupils
  • Giving support to teachers
  • Encouraging a new generation of scientists, engineers and mathematicians

UAS is operated on a not-for-profit basis by a company limited by guarantee, Undergraduate Ambassadors Limited.

Target Audience

Undergraduate STEM students.
