School programs

Events and programs for secondary school students with a special interest in mathematics.

University of Melbourne Extension Program (Mathematics)

This subject is designed for students who enjoy mathematics and are mathematically talented. If you are such a student you may have already been involved in an acceleration or enrichment program during your earlier secondary school program, though this is not necessary. Topics build on those in Specialist Mathematics and thus they provide you with the opportunity to extend your knowledge, as well as to experience and appreciate some of the depth and complex beauty of higher level mathematics. Prospective students should visit the UMEP web site to find out more about this option.
