WIP students will participate in a leadership and service development program, with the focus on a four-week intensive experience. 

WIP is looking for future leaders from any year of study. People with passion, new ideas and approaches who want to write a better future for Northern Ireland and Ireland. 

How to Apply

Application: The WIP application focuses on essay-style questions that encourage you to describe your leadership experience and service track record so far. There are four questions that are limited to 250 words or less. Applicants are also asked to outline their service commitments and leadership credentials. 

Interview: Students participate in a formal, online interview in late January. Each student is interviewed individually by a panel. Each student is assessed based on their individual performance.
