The Engineering stream of Young Professionals aims to equip students for a future career in engineering. Through a combination of theory-based teaching and practical workshops, students explore different branches of engineering, including mechanical, electronic and civil engineering.
Through projects such as making mini hydraulic bridges or building battery-powered vehicles, students grow confidence in solving practical engineering problems. Students also enjoy engineering-focused day trips, such as touring the world-famous Mini Factory or programming a Mars robot ‘rover’ at We The Curious.

Age range
The age range is 13-18
In maximum classes of 11, learning from a specialist tutor, students cover areas such as the properties of different materials, manufacturing, engineering drawing, static structural systems, electro-mechanical systems, the effect of forces and applications of engineering technology. This academic foundation gives students the grounding to excel in their future study at university and beyond.
Students also participate in practical workshops such as making mini hydraulic bridges and complete group projects such as designing and building battery-powered vehicles. These workshops enable students to test and apply their new knowledge to solve problems, as well as building their teamwork and project management skills.
Each week, students also have the opportunity to be inspired to take on a career in engineering through visits to destinations such as the Mini Factory.
Students also participate in Skills Elective sessions to give them the best opportunity to build a career in engineering with sessions such as interview techniques, a cv workshop and independent learning skills.
To ensure our students have fun, make friends and get to know the UK, we have an exciting programme of on-site activities and days out. Days out of the school are split into two types: ‘excursions’ and ‘study-in-action days’.
Study-in-action days take the learning outside the classroom. Students visit destinations related to engineering that provide real-life experiences connecting practice and profession.
Excursions are a fun way for students to visit famous landmarks and attractions with all students attending a Young Professionals course, providing an opportunity for students to mix with others from different subject streams.

Every Bucksmore location has a residential management team, and a minimum staff-student ratio of 1:7. There is always a trained first aider on-site, and students are supervised 24 hours a day.
Bucksmore offers a complimentary airport transfer service on transfer days for flights arriving/departing between 10:00 and 20:00. We can also provide an Unaccompanied Minor service for pick-up and drop-off. Students are looked after from when they land to when their flight departs.
Each location has a Centre Manager, Activity Manager and Director of Studies available for all students to approach with any problems. Bucksmore Counsellors are more than just teachers; they provide a high level of care and guidance for all students. All staff are background checked.
High staff to student ratios ensure all students are looked after. Bucksmore summer schools strive to create a warm and welcoming “family atmosphere” where all students and Counsellors know each other well.
