Study Mind offers a wide range of work experience opportunities in the field of chemical engineering. Our programs cover various aspects of chemical engineering, including materials engineer, bioprocess engineer, chemical engineering, and more. We are dedicated to providing diverse and comprehensive work experience options, ensuring that our participants gain a holistic understanding of the field of chemical engineering.

We ensure convenient arrangements for our international students, the majority of whom, approximately 70%, come from overseas. We provide airport pick-up services from Heathrow airport to the accommodation, where a member of the Study Mind team will be available to greet you. Furthermore, if necessary, we can also arrange transportation back to your departure terminal.

We recommend this course for individuals aged 14-25, which includes any child in Year 9 or above and graduate entry applicants.

The Work Experience week is non-refundable once you have made the booking. This policy is in place because we need to make arrangements for all logistics, including accommodation and room bookings, well in advance. If you're uncertain about your availability but wish to reserve your spot, you have the option to secure your place by paying a non-refundable deposit of £500. The remaining payment will be due before the start of the course.

Safety is our utmost priority during the Work Experience week. Your child will always be accompanied by the Study Mind Safeguarding team for any required travel. There will be a 30-minute train journey to and from the accommodation to the hospitals/hospice, and this journey will be fully supervised and accompanied.

You will be accommodated in single rooms at UCL Accommodation, where both breakfast and dinner will be provided. Your stay will begin from the Sunday night preceding the start of the course and continue through the last day of the course (Friday), totaling 6 nights. The facility offers 24/7 security, and our Study Mind staff, who are trained in first aid and safeguarding, will be present on-site to provide assistance. Additionally, we can arrange airport pick-up for your convenience.

Students coming to the UK for the Work Experience will need a Standard Visitor visa- https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor

The Standard Visitor visa can only be applied for by parents/guardians and costs £100. They must apply through the UK Gov website only, You can name our course and Study Mind as the guardians of under 18s, and provide then the course information and booking confirmation when applying for the visa.

We recommend booking flights first before applying for the visa, as the visa needs proof of a return flight (the course end date might be enough, but might result in rejection).
