Secondary students invited to Young Leaders Programs

Each year Trinity welcomes more than 300 students from around the world to be inspired, increase confidence and be guided on a pathway to tertiary education.

This unique program offers students aged 14–17 with a taste of university life – at the University of Melbourne, ranked no. 34 worldwide and no. 1 in Australia (Times Higher Education Rankings 2013–14).

In the Biomedicine Stream, students will explore the world of medicine and medical research including genetics, human physiology and human structure and function. Students will perform dissections, and visit the genetics laboratories at the University of Melbourne.

In the popular Commerce Stream, students will explore the fields of accounting, business, economics, finance, management and marketing.

Also in July, the Arts Stream will explore arts majors such as psychology, media and communications, and fine arts, which looks at a diverse range of art forms, including performance art, visual art, movement and music.

The Social Justice Stream is ideal for students looking to develop leadership skills associated with grassroots movements for social justice, such as equality, democracy and transformation in young people.

Students are able to choose an academic stream – all of which align with the University of Melbourne’s undergraduate degrees, to give students an idea what they might want to study in the future. During the July intake, students can choose a one-week module or combine two programs to create a fantastic two-week experience. Or, in December, students immerse themselves in one academic stream for the entire two weeks.
