BP has launched its UK Ultimate Field Trip 2015 (UFT) – the UK’s leading university STEM competition that asks teams of three students from higher education institutions to come up with a solution to a real-world global energy challenge.
Now coming into its sixth year, the UFT competition challenges university students from diverse backgrounds to put their skills to the test in a real-world challenge that will not only give them a window into the issues facing the energy sector, but also allow them to learn what a career in the oil and gas industry might ultimately involve.
This year’s UFT challenge is focused on water; the global supply and availability of which is an increasing issue for businesses and the environment alike.
For the 2015 competition, the winning teams from the UK, the US, Canada and Angola will take part in a two-week field trip to Trinidad & Tobago, visiting BP’s natural gas operations in the country. The trip will give them the opportunity to experience a snapshot of life in the oil and gas industry, and to learn from each other as well as from interns and graduates already working at BP.
