The philanthropic partnership will enable an initial cohort of two students to undertake four years of study in London: one year on a Undergraduate Preparatory Certificate (UPC) Foundation Year 鈥 one of the leading such programmes at any UK university 鈥 and three years on a BEng course.
Their time at 香港六合彩 will be fully funded through a gift from听听鈥 an international charity that provides transformational opportunities to low-income people in Brazil by improving their access to education.
Comprehensive financial support will be combined with a holistic approach to skills development, pastoral care, and careers and mentoring frameworks to prepare the Telles Scholars for future success as part of the next generation of technology leaders.
On completing their studies, they will join a community of EEE graduates recognised as some of the most talented globally, entering careers in fields such as robotics, nano- and quantum- technology, software engineering, and financial services.
