Are you ready to make a start on your future?
Join us at our Headstart Information Evenings where we’ll take you through everything you need to know about the program, including how Year 10 students can now enrol in Semester 2 Headstart subjects (in addition to Year 11 and 12 students).
Headstart gives school students a real university experience, allowing you to study first-year uni subjects and possibly receive credit to take time off your degree.
UniSC will cover the cost of the first course and additional courses are only $400, so you'll also save money on your full degree!
We'll take you through some of the key changes to Headstart for 2023 and answer all your questions so you're ready to apply!
You'll also hear from Headstart students who will talk about their experience and provide tips for what to expect.
