We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, but it's important to note that GEEP places an emphasis on creating opportunities for those from under-represented backgrounds. We are particularly eager to welcome applications from candidates who reflect this diversity and inclusivity focus.
GEEP is a national programme designed to support engineering students from underrepresented backgrounds across the UK. In 2025-2026 we aim to encourage applications from regions which have experienced small student numbers in the past. To this extent, we will monitor regional representation and may close applications in specific areas early as spaces fill up.
