Get in quick for a Headstart
High school students have until Friday 24 November to lodge applications to take part in the University of the Sunshine Coast’s exciting Headstart program.
This program provides students who will be in Years 11 and 12 next year the opportunity to experience university life and to start studying towards degrees at USC.
USC External Relations Coordinator Kylie Russell said Headstart offered students an authentic pre-taste of lectures, tutorials and lab work and helped overcome some of the problems that first-year university students experienced.
“Headstart gives you a idea of what university life is like and helps prepare you for future study,’’ she said.
“It provides guaranteed entry into a USC degree if you successfully complete two courses within the Headstart program and obtain a senior certificate from your school.”
Ms Russell said more than 400 high school students had been involved in Headstart during the past four years, with many of these continuing on to study at USC.
