FutureX is a bespoke academic programme for ambitious students aged 15–18, created in partnership with schools to inspire the next generation of scientists, policymakers, diplomats, and changemakers.

Through university-style learning, real-world themes, and mentorship from PhD students at leading UK universities, students explore ideas beyond the school curriculum and begin to imagine the paths they might follow in the future.

Each programme is tailored to the school and cohort, combining academic challenge with applied learning so that students not only deepen their understanding, but also build the confidence, skills, and sense of direction to take their next steps with ambition.

How it worKS

Every FutureX programme is developed in partnership with the school, so the academic focus, structure, and outcomes can be tailored to each cohort. Programmes can run over one or two weeks and are built around ambitious, future-facing themes that take students beyond the standard school curriculum.

A FutureX programme typically includes:

  • subject-specific streams

  • university-style teaching and discussion

  • mentorship from PhD students at leading UK universities

  • research, case studies, and applied academic tasks

  • collaborative or independent project work

  • a final output such as a presentation, poster, paper, or pitch

Depending on the theme, students might explore real-world challenges, analyse complex case studies, take part in simulations, or develop their own responses to live questions and problems.
