Womxn in STEM

Why Join Us?

• A UNESCO report found that women make up only 35% of STEM graduates globally. Furthermore, the LGBT professionals are also underrepresented in STEM fields. Students in the society who are female or nonbinary will feel encouraged to progress into STEM career fields with a rightful sense of belonging and make their mark in their chosen fields. This year, BU WiSTEM will also seek to achieve strategic partnerships/sponsorships with companies and charities that provide our members networking opportunities and pathways to graduate roles. 

What do we do?

• We will host social events each month like games nights to destress you from your studies. In addition, we plan to put on more academic socials such as trips, study sessions and guest speaker talks. We are a community who want to support each other into their STEM careers.

Who can join?

• Women and non-binary students who are studying a STEM subject. The exact definition of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) can be broad, encompassing various specialisations and related disciplines. 

What's to come in 2025/26?

• More socials
• Guest speaker talks
• Study sessions
• Trips
• Partnerships with companies and charities that provide our members networking opportunities and pathways to graduate roles.
