Talented Student Program

Biology is an exciting and dynamic science that produces new knowledge that affects our lives. Examples are as diverse as genetic engineering, biotechnology, and ecologically sustainable development. We are interested in giving bright, high achievers an accelerated start in biological research. Does this sound like you?

The School of Biological Sciences Talented Student Program (TSP) is part of the Faculty of Science Talented Student Program. The program is offered on the basis of academic merit (a high UAI score for first year students, and examination performance and Weighted Average Mark (WAM) for students in subsequent years).

Talented students are offered special project work that introduces the students to research activities supervised by academic staff in the School of Biological Sciences. The aim is to broaden your knowledge of Biology and give you an insight into how biologists think and how a real research project is tackled.

What are the benefits of the program? Students in the program are the top students of their year and you will enjoy the opportunity to mix it with the best. You will receive special attention and opportunities to develop your knowledge. You will be challenged and given the chance to show what you can achieve in research early in your career.

Please contact the Talented Student Program coordinator, Dr Dieter Hochuli for more information.
