What is The Gresham Competition?
Gresham College is launching a Competition for Year 12 students in September 2022, to promote the art of communicating complex information in a clear, concise and compelling way. This will
- support the development of oracy skills;
- help students with UCAS applications and job interviews;
- promote a deeper understanding of the environment;
- introduce students to the inspiring research of world-class academics.
This year the competition is focussed on the environment / sustainability in a five-minute, recorded presentation. Shortlisted candidates will then be invited to present again in person in London, and there will be three awards (including prizes for student and the school).
If you would like to receive updates about this exciting new competition, send us an email at: schools@gresham.ac.uk or join our schools’ mailing list.
