Opportunity shouldn't
depend on your postcode.

Every year, firms like Goldman Sachs, Clifford Chance, and Rolls-Royce run incredible schemes for sixth formers — paid spring weeks, insight days, mentoring programmes, and apprenticeships with starting salaries above £20k.

But these opportunities are scattered across dozens of corporate websites, promoted through school networks that not every student has access to, and open with deadlines that pass before most people even hear about them.

If your school has strong industry connections, you'll probably be fine. If it doesn't, you're left Googling in the dark — and ambition alone isn't enough to close that gap.

LaunchPoint pulls together programmes from across Law, Finance, Medicine, STEM, Business, and the Creative Arts into a single searchable database — updated regularly and built specifically for Year 12 and 13 students.

You can filter by sector, see which programmes offer bursaries or travel expenses, and spot closing deadlines at a glance. We also highlight widening participation schemes for state school students, first-generation applicants, and those on free school meals.

On top of the opportunities database, LaunchPoint offers free practice tests for the LNAT, Watson Glaser, UCAT, and Situational Judgement Tests — the same prep that can cost over £100 elsewhere.

LaunchPoint was built by a student who went through the same frustrating process — spending hours trawling through corporate websites, hearing about schemes after the deadline had passed, and realising that access to opportunity often comes down to who you know rather than how hard you work.

We believe that shouldn't be the case. Every ambitious sixth former deserves a clear, honest view of what's out there — regardless of background, school, or connections.
