University Summer College

29th January – 1st February 2019 at the University of Tasmania’s  Sandy Bay Campus

 

The University of Tasmania in partnership with the Department of Education will be offering a four-day senior secondary residential summer program, University Summer College, for Year 11 students moving into Year 12 in 2019. This will be held from 29th January – 1st February 2019 at the University of Tasmania’s Sandy Bay campus in Hobart.

The University Summer College is designed to provide in-depth experience of University study, to enable students to explore subject areas and university life and to support success in Year 12 study. Students will live on campus and experience study and life at the University of Tasmania through mini-lectures, hands-on practical activities, tutorial sessions, and online learning. Taking place immediately prior to the start of the 2019 academic year, students will be supported throughout the program by University student mentors.

The University Summer College is a residential program and will comprise four days and three nights of activities with accommodation ( single rooms on campus) and all meals provided. For northern-based students, transport from Launceston to Hobart is also included . Students attending State schools are asked to make a contribution of $120 to participate in the program. A small number of bursaries may be available from UTAS to support cases of financial hardship,  or alternatively schools or school-related organisations  may like to support their students to attend.

The University Summer College is for  those students who are considering university study but who may be first in family to attend university and/or students who wish to explore particular subject areas to inform their choice of higher education pathway. Applications  are currently open  and more  information can be found at  http://www.utas.edu.au/schools-engagement/projects-and-initiatives/summer-college
