Young Scholars Programme

We have a selection of exciting and stimulating Stage I courses for Year 13 students. If you have demonstrated exceptional academic ability you will have the opportunity to be challenged and extended at a world-class, research-led university with the very best teachers and resources.

Enrolling provides you with some great opportunities:

  • A taste of university life and familiarity with the university before you begin your degree
  • A head start with your degree as these courses can be credited towards a degree at university
  • Exposure to a different kind of teaching through lectures and tutorials
  • Friendship with other like-minded secondary school students

We recommend Semester One study, rather than Semester Two, so it doesn’t interfere with preparation for your final external school examinations.

To apply, you should contact your school Head of Department and ask about the Young Scholars Programme, or contact the Academic Coordinator for the course.
