About

Science Extension enables students to pursue their passion for science. The NSW HSC subject requires students to engage with complex concepts and theories and to critically evaluate new ideas, discoveries and contemporary scientific research. We speak with Dr Lisa Cabral from the University of Technology Sydney to learn the opportunities for both students and mentors with the UTS Mentor Science+ Science Extension program

About the UTS Mentor Science+ Science Extension

HSC Students are challenged to examine a scientific research question influenced by the study of one or more of the scientific disciplines. Uniquely for this HSC subject, students will produce a detailed scientific research report that reflects the standards generally required for publication in a scientific journal.

Science Extension lays a foundation for students to pursue further study in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) based courses offered at the tertiary level, and to engage in new and emerging industries.

UTS works with schools to place students together with mentors to do real scientific research.
