The Hinksey Labs Scholars Program
Students admitted to this selective 12-week program (2 hours life per week) join exclusive cohorts of up to six peers, mentored by a dedicated PhD/MBA scholar from top-tier institutions like Oxford, Cambridge, and the Ivy League.
In this program, students explore MBA-level business concepts, research methodologies, and AI tools through live weekly online sessions, office hours, and guest sessions with industry experts. Crucially, they apply their learning by conducting a rolling research project throughout the entire 12 weeks. Engaging with a real start-up or non-profit, students draft a comprehensive research paper and present their strategic findings upon completion - building a foundation for college and career success.
