The Scholar is published annually and showcases some of the excellent work produced by pupils on The Scholars Programme and Uni Pathways. All assignments nominated for publication are reviewed by an expert panel of PhD researchers and only the highest scoring are published.
We are delighted to celebrate our pupils’ work and achievements in the country’s only academic journal dedicated to publishing university-style assignments authored by school pupils. Publishing original work is an important part of academia and we are excited to introduce our pupils not only to the world of research but also to the next stages of peer review and publication in academic journals.
Read 27 outstanding articles from students who took part in The Scholars Programme in 2024-25 on topics including how we can challenge traditional understandings of identity in antiquity by viewing Ovid through a queer lens, whether autistic people should be in charge of autism research, and how 3D printing can be used to support the priorities of high-tech industries. Scholars Programme alumna Emily Yanchuk contributes a guest article of her reflections on education, opportunity and growth during her time at university.
