Featured Pathway: The Career Insights Programme

Scholarships and partial awards can be used across our advanced tracks, including our flagship Career Insights Programme. Led exclusively by accomplished industry experts who draw directly on their professional experience, this pathway provides a practical, real-world lens into modern corporate, creative, and technical fields.

Rather than focusing on abstract theory, sessions are designed around giving students actionable industry insights and applying knowledge directly to competitive workplace contexts. A central highlight of the experience is our curated, site-specific industry visits. These exclusive excursions grant students rare behind-the-scenes access to leading corporate headquarters, cutting-edge labs, and creative studios, allowing them to witness professional execution firsthand. 

Through these immersive site visits, interactive case studies, and career-mapping sessions, participants look beyond the classroom to gain deep familiarity with emerging market trends and cultivate the precise skills required to excel in professional environments. Delivered across global professional hubs – including London, New York, San Francisco, and Tokyo – the Career Insights Programme bridges the gap between academic vision and commercial execution, ensuring students graduate with a concrete portfolio of work to display.

Submission Guidance: Format and Execution

Participants must enter individually and select exactly one of the following two format options for their submission:

Track A: The 10-Slide Business Plan

A professional presentation compiled using slide software (such as PowerPoint, Canva, or Google Slides) or document tools and uploaded exclusively as a single PDF file. The deck must be a maximum of 10 pages or slides (excluding the title slide) and utilize a clear, legible font size. The document must systematically cover your business summary, market gap, product breakdown, target market analysis, competition, and operational business model.

Track B: The 2-Minute Video Pitch

A recorded video file containing a clear, persuasive elevator pitch of your venture, with a strict maximum duration of 2 minutes. The submission must consist only of the video recording and cannot be accompanied by an extra slide deck or text document. Ensure your presentation uses clear front lighting, eye-level framing, a dedicated microphone for vocal clarity, a clean professional backdrop, and an structured delivery (introduction, core problem/solution value proposition, and a memorable concluding vision).

Mark Scheme & Academic Evaluation Rubric

All submissions are evaluated objectively by our academic panel based on four core criteria:

Identifying a problem or gap in the market (25%)

Demonstrates a deep, factual understanding of the chosen challenge, providing specific context to prove it is a genuine real-world need.

Explaining why it matters (25%)

Details explicitly who is affected by the issue, outlines the wider economic or social consequences, and uses relevant data or examples to ground its significance.

Proposing an innovative solution (30%)

Presents a highly creative, logical, and original solution that details how it functions and establishes how it is structurally superior to existing market alternatives.

Describing the strategic impact (20%)

Outlines the positive change your idea generates, demonstrates who will benefit, and conveys a realistic understanding of operational implementation feasibility.

Plagiarism & Artificial Intelligence Guidelines

Plagiarism

Academic integrity is central to advanced study. Plagiarism - defined as taking the work, text, concepts, or images of others and presenting them as your own - is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate disqualification. The academic panel utilises sophisticated detection software to verify originality and ensure all entries reflect genuine individual research.

Artificial Intelligence

Generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT) can serve as useful aids for preliminary research, brainstorming, or minor grammatical and spelling corrections. However, they must not be utilised to construct sentences, draft paragraphs, or fabricate original business solutions. To secure a scholarship, your proposal must display an authentic individual voice and creative approach.

FAQs

Can I enter multiple categories or formats?

No. Only one entry is allowed per person. You must commit to a single category and choose either Track A (the written slide deck) or Track B (the video pitch).

Submissions must be uploaded directly via the official competition form on our portal before the deadline locks. Entries sent via email will not be considered under any circumstances.
