Use the soon-to-be-built Sir John Monash Science School in Clayton and a new selective school at the Gippsland campus to encourage more year-12 students to speed up degrees by studying subjects at Monash while still in high school.

I wish I was born 6 years later.

The John Monash Science School at the Clayton campus and the Berwick Selective school at the Berwick campus are set to open in 2010

Lucky you. You'll still be there

Thumbs down to Monash for regurgitating the idea they had last year/a few years ago to have a reflection in someones sunglasses of an image...

Not very innovative Monash!

Research in undergrad looks interesting, but there's not really much information there.

Monash Passport, from what I see, is just a marketing push. It essentially combines aspects of the University that have been around for years and marketing it all in one package deal (the push for students to study in Malaysia was going to happen anyway...I'd go if allowed hah!).

The only real new addition is the (Sir) John Monash Science School, and that's been known for some time...

If you want at the moment you can go there, all expenses paid + $3500 spending money

brendan don't make threads with titles like that because I was scared we'd be going melbourne and lose all our degrees and that wouldn't be cool at all.

Not while Larkins is around lol

He's very pro-choice (in terms of giving students the choice between specialist and general degrees).

The act to convert to generalist degrees doesn't have a monopoly on the phrase "The <University> model"

Also, no-one at Melbourne is losing their degrees.

Yeah, I liked that bit, I wish they'd give more info about it though!

Bug your faculty.

Over the course of this year in lectures they've outlined the researchy units in 3rd year we can do as science kids. If I do it it'll be in the summer break though

[excal]

My faculty's been plugging their undergrad research program...giving away several thousand for a summer research internship at UCSD. It's a shame I'm not doing CompSc or BSE though (you have to be in the technical degrees).
