Dalyell Scholars
Ignite your intellectual curiosity
,
We have a rich history of providing high-achieving students with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive academically. Dalyell Scholars will be challenged and inspired alongside their talented peers in this program.
The Dalyell Scholars stream is the University’s flagship program for high-achieving students across all disciplines.
With advanced coursework, interdisciplinary research, mentoring, networking, international project collaboration and a range of other enrichment opportunities, the Dalyell Scholars stream rewards recent school leavers who achieved an ATAR (or equivalent) of 98+.
Entry to the stream is by invitation, however there is one course in science you can apply for, the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Dalyell Scholars including Mathematical Sciences).
The Dalyell Scholars stream in Science is not exclusive to those who want a career in science or research. In fact, through the Dalyell Scholars stream, many of our graduates have gone on to pursue careers and professions outside of these areas including law, medicine, business, information technologies and government just to name a few.
What sets our graduates apart is their experience in creative, critical-thinking and problem-solving, making them highly sought-after employees who as leaders, will go on to positively contribute to improving our world.

The Dalyell Scholars stream replaces the Faculty of Science Talented Students Program which was established in 1992 and ran for 25 years.
