The Career Path

Meet Sydney University Workshops      

Year 10

This session aims to make the HSC Subject Selection as smooth as possible and equip  students with the knowledge and confidence to explore and set themselves up for a pathway to university. Students will learn what university is, why people go there, technical language like prerequisites and assumed knowledge. We will explore and encourage links between personal interests and skills, higher education, prerequisites, study options, future career paths and an understanding of study options at the University of Sydney. Student laptops can enhance the interactivity of this session.

Year 11

Students will engage in a suite of activities to increase self-knowledge, academic capacity and enhance their preparedness and confidence for university. Students will be challenged to evaluate where they are at, and their goals, while enriching their understanding of the university experience.

Year 12

Students will explore connections between current studies, aspirations and university education. We will unpack the Undergraduate Guide and technical details around university applications, scholarships, admission pathways/schemes, finances and accommodation. As we dive into your students’ extracurricular activities and skills, we will prepare them to confidently apply for admission pathways, scholarships, and accommodation.
