Queen’s University Pathway Opportunity Programme

Congratulations to Emma Savage on her selection for the Queen’s University Pathway Opportunity Programme for Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences Pathway.

The Pathway Opportunity Programme has been supporting students since it began in 2017. Since then, it has seen hundreds of students pass through its Pathways, receiving support in study and academic skills, university applications and confidence building activities. The Pathway Opportunity Programme gives students the chance to study a little of their chosen subject on campus, at Queen’s University Belfast, to prepare them for transition to university life.  By participating in the Pathway Opportunity Programme, Emma will have the chance to:

• Receive a reduced grade conditional offer or a guaranteed interview (where applicable);

• Receive a £1000 Kilwaughter Minerals Bursary to help with her studies at Queen’s University Belfast, for the first year of her study;

• Meet like-minded students and get to know a range of Academics and staff;

• Attend a completely free Summer School as a Queen’s student;

• Improve and build a range of skills such as study skills, confidence, and knowledge; and

• Get support and help with applications and transitioning into University life.

  
  

In addition to the above benefits, Emma has been selected for the Mater Hospital Scholarship which includes the offer of work experience in the Mater Hospital and 1:1 tutoring in her A Level subjects, as well as an additional bursary of £1,000 per year which will last for the duration of her degree at Queen's.
