Extension Programme for Secondary School Students - STAR
The University of Canterbury offers a range of courses for secondary school students. School students attend lectures, labs and tutorials and undertake course assessment. Courses that are successfully completed are credited towards the student's degree when they subsequently enrol at Canterbury.
The courses provide a challenging and stimulating option for more able secondary school students. Students are put forward by their school and can enrol in a maximum of 36 points in any one year. Access STAR at UC for further information.
