Pathways to Coding, run by QMUL’s Outreach and Widening Participation team, has been allocated the money by The Sutton Trust, a think-tank which aims to improve social mobility through education.

The four year project will start in September 2016 and aims to support eligible* disadvantaged Year 12 and 13 students with a particular interest in coding, with priority given to students who are, or have been, looked after, accommodated or in care.
