The University of Queensland's Young Scholars Program (YSP) provides high achieving secondary school students with an opportunity to discover, learn and engage with UQ's academic community and like-minded students from across Queensland. Designed to nurture and develop future leaders, the Program also presents students with a unique opportunity for academic extension and enrichment.
The 2011-2012 UQ Young Scholars Program involves:
• A five-day (four night) Residential Camp at the St Lucia campus
(Sunday 27 November-Thursday 1 December, 2011)
• A two-day (overnight) Residential Camp at the St Lucia campus
(Monday 25-Tuesday 26 June, 2012)
Students will gain valuable insights into university life and fields of study they may not have encountered as part of the school curriculum. They will hear from leading thinkers and engage in discussions and collaborative forums in group settings. A range of social, sporting and cultural activities will complement the academic program.
While on campus, students are housed in single rooms in one of UQ’s residential colleges. The Program is administered and supervised by University staff and Student Mentors.
For more information, download the UQ Young Scholars Program brochure.
A copy of the 2010 UQ Young Scholars Residential Camp Program is available to interested applicants upon request.
The 2011 Residential Camp Program will be distributed to successful Young Scholars in Term 4.
UQ Young Scholars are challenged to think critically about some of today's major global issues and throughout their participation, are exposed to a wide range of potential study areas and career opportunities.
