FAQ's
What are the requirements for a student to be considered as a candidate for BIYSC?
  • Aged between 16 and 18 years old during the Program.
  • Good academic record, which must be accompanied by an eagerness and motivation to participate in the program. We are looking for talented and curious young people who, apart from having good academic results, have a genuine interest for scientific research.
  • Good command of English language.
  • Intention to pursue a career in science.
  • Commitment to take the most of the opportunities offered by the program.
How are participants selected?

We are looking for young people who are interested, curiousabout and committed to science. To find the right candidates, we are guided by the letter of motivation written by the students who apply, where we expect them to show an interest in science and provide details of their personal and school projects (hobbies, participation in science fairs and competitions, awards received, reading habits, musical instruments, etc.) and anything else they think makes them the perfect candidate for this opportunity. The answers to the questions on the application form are also important, as well as the student’s academic record, and the evaluation given by the teachers in charge of recommendations.

Do participants need to know English?

English is very important in science, and it is the only vehicular language used during the program. Therefore, it is an essential point for the selection and absolutely necessary to attend BIYSC.
