Trinity College invites YOU to the Young Leaders Programs in December [OS]

Young Leaders Programs offer students aged between 14 and 17 a taste of university life, right here in Australia. In December, students can choose an academic stream - all of which align with the University of Melbourne's New Generation undergraduate degrees, to give students an idea of what they might like to study in the future.

The Young Leaders Programs are designed to inspire, increase confidence and guide students on a pathway to tertiary education

In 2013, more that 250 students participated in the Young Leaders Programs. In July 2014 alone, Trinity College provided opportunities for an unprecedented 221 students across the Arts, Commerce, New York Jazz Symposium, Fine Arts, Biomedicine, Leadership for Social Justice and English Intensive Streams.

The Young Leaders Programs is one of the pathways that students can participate in, which is a stepping stone into the Trinity College Foundation Studies program after high school. YLP and TCFS work together to prepare students for Australia's best tertiary education.

STREAMS

December 2014 will be very exciting for Young Leaders, with the following streams: 

Arts

Based on psychological principles, students will explore Arts majors such as psychology, media and communications. Students will investigate the psychology behind how they persuade others for their own benefit, and how such techniques can influence their interactions and the decisions they make.

Students will also have the chance to dissect media industries and their impact on politics, society and culture. Students in this stream will visit the Melbourne Magistrates Courts and participate in a number of interactive workshops and experiments.

Biomedicine

In this stream, students will explore the world of medicine and medical research, including genetics, human physiology and human structure and function. They will also Investigate the issues pertinent to our world today, and look at the rapidly changing areas of forensics and bioethics.

Your students will perform real dissections, visit the genetics laboratories at the University of Melbourne, help solve a murder mystery and venture on excursions to the Melbourne Museum and the Zoo.

Commerce

Back by popular demand, students will explore the fields of accounting, business, economics, finance, management and marketing. Students will be introduced to the Australian legal system, civil and contract disputes, the Australian accounting and economics systems, the use of GST, and the developing area of green economics.

The Commerce stream will give students an insight into life in the world of business as they participate in interactive workshops and a stock market exchange game.

Science / Engineering

Students will discover the complex world of engineering majors: chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical systems, as well as mathematics, statistics and physics.
