What our students say
Frequently asked questions
Who is this platform for?
Our platform is for high school students in years 11-13 who are interested in doing a research internship in STEM to enhance their personal profiles for admission at a University.
Do I need any previous experience?
There is no need to have any prior programming experience for courses. You will be provided with all necessary study materials on the basics of Python programming. For the material of the courses, you will need school level understanding of calculus, chemistry, and physics. We will teach you from the ground up, and you will gain all the knowledge and skills you need to start your journey as a researcher..
What is included in The Ensamble package?
The Ensamble package contains 5 modules with online lectures, 6 coding projects in Python, and 1 real hands-on project formulated together with a university mentor and conducted together with an AI-Assistant.
Will The Ensamble help me get into university?
In the sense of making a student a better applicant, absolutely. The courses, exercises, and projects are designed to equip you with the skills and hands-on research experience necessary for building a strong and stand-out personal profile for the admission to a university of your choice. We do not communicate with admissions offices on behalf of alumni, other than to supply a letter describing The Ensamble program if necessary, suitable as an application supplement (subject to the Admission Policy).
Why do I need an AI-Assistant?
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning quickly enter our life. AI-Assistants have already become indispensable co-workers in science, industry, and in 5 years everyone will have them. You will learn how to effectively work with an AI-Assistant. This new skill will help you with the current school and future university studies to learn smarter and faster.
Do I need a special computer or software?
You will need a desktop computer or a laptop. You will be given instructions prior to purchasing the course on how to install Jupyter software.
How much time do I need to complete the programme?
The full internship consists of 5 modules including video-lectures, exercises, coding projects, and a STEM research project. The total time commitment required is approximately 25-30 hours and is expected to be completed within 5 weeks under normal school load. It is worth noting that 80% of this time is dedicated to your work on a research project.
When can I start studying?
We accept students on a rolling basis. The starting date for the upcoming offering is stated on the website Home page. The internships are offered several times during the year. Each internship covers similar theoretical materials, while research projects are different.
What can you offer that I cannot get at other online schools?
With The Ensamble you will participate in a research internship and obtain a real research experience that will make your CV and Personal Statement stand out. You will work with leading academics and educators at the very front of the science. Although university summer schools provide relevant research experience they are available to a very limited number of students. Moreover, tutoring addresses only preparation for exams.
What are the assessment criteria?
After successfully completing The Ensamble program, students will present the results of their research in two formats: a 5-10 page scientific paper and a 10-minute presentation that will be assessed by university academics. These assessment criteria are essential to ensure that the gained research experience is recognized by the university admission committee. Moreover, presenting and defending your results will greatly prepare you for the admission interview.
Do I get a Certificate?
Students who successfully finished The Ensamble program will receive The Ensamble Certificate, which acknowledges their achievement in completing the 5-week Ensamble program and gaining relevant research experience in Chemistry, Physics, or Engineering.
