What topics will be discussed?

  • Have you ever wondered what it is like to study at the world’s no.1 top university (QS World University Rankings 2026), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)? You’ll hear first hand experience from current students who live on campus and how they have each integrated into the MIT community and their chosen fields of study.

  • Are you interested in pursuing STEM based subjects and want to hear how to pursue this at Higher Education? Perhaps you'd like to hear first hand the impact STEM can have in your community? Current students at MIT will share their stories and experiences within the field during this webinar.

  • Why is it important to continue to promote STEM based subjects and careers for women & girls? Current students will share how they pursued their STEM interests at high school, the importance of role models and what it's like to study STEM majors in Maths, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science.

  • Would you like to hear the progression and career paths you could take in the world of STEM? Perhaps you are wondering how STEM subject areas can cross over into other fields of study? In this episode of GTL Wales Speaker Series 'Beyond the core STEM subjects', you'll hear first hand experience from MIT seniors and graduates.
