Student for a Semester

Duration: 1 Semester

Description

The Student for a Semester program is a great opportunity for high school students to kick-start their university career. Open to all ambitious Grade 11 and Grade 12 students who are in the top 30% of their year level, this program allows students to experience life as a university student and sample a subject area they may be interested in pursuing after high school. This program can be challenging and we strongly recommend that the applicant, their parents and school are confident that the student can also maintain their high school studies.
