There are a number of programmes designed to support and encourage girls into STEM, but there are fewer supporting BAME students … data presented earlier clearly shows that BAME students are less likely to be employed by engineering companies than their white counterparts. Therefore, more work could be done to support transition of BAME students from university into the engineering sector.
8.7%
of UK domicile students
enrolled onto STEM related subjects at UK universities are black
