This year we have introduced a new range of talks, some on areas of interest related to our courses and others designed with the VCE curriculum in mind. We are also happy to tailor our talks to suit your particular curriculum requirements.
For 2010 we have a new team of Course Ambassadors, mainly enthusiastic PhD students, participating in the program. Our PhD students are passionate about their research and keen to share their own experiences at university with secondary school students.
There no costs to schools in our School Talks Program.
