Why ҕl Science Summer Camp?
ҕl Science SummerCamp is about helping students make the best decisions for their future. The transition from school to university can be hard – there are so many options to choose from and decisions to be made.
That’s why we started this camp. We want to give students a real taste of university life and let them experience first-hand what studying science at ҕl is like – so they can make informed decisions for their future.
What’s on offer
During their visit, students will be completely immersed in ҕl life. They’ll get to experience the full scope of science on offer at ҕl – from lectures and lab work to field trips and the latest technologies. Of course, university life is not all about study. There will also be social activities– includingexperiencing the new and vibrant Christchurch CBD, and time to hang out with like-minded students and get a feel for the campus.
Scholarship opportunities
ҕl has a set number of Māori, Pasifika Scholarships and fee support Scholarships available for people from under-represented communities (including, but not limited to minority ethnic groups, lower socio-economic status and special needs)to attend the ҕl Summer Science Camp.
