Our unique curriculum, curated and developed by subject specialists, combines academic excellence with real-world challenges, growth workshops, and Hackathons. This reflects our commitment to intellectual curiosity, ambition and a culture that encourages participants to think critically and creatively.

Personalise your IMPACT
Students shape their own IMPACT to reflect their interests selecting an Applied Learning Pathway, a Development Workshop, and a Skills Activity.
Each step is designed to deepen learning and expand skill sets. These core elements are enriched through business and university visits, company-sponsored Hackathons and guest speaker sessions, ensuring every student enjoys a dynamic and well-rounded experience.

University & business experience
University and business experience will immerse IMPACT students in real-world innovation and thought leadership.
Through interactive workshops, tours and talks, they will have the opportunity to connect learning with practice, exploring global challenges, and gaining inspiration to think critically, build confidence, and pursue ambitious goals in their future.
