Whats the difference between the TSP and Advanced Science?
Advanced courses are for students with excellent results in the HSC. Usually this is limited to students who receive an ATAR over 90 or excel in one particular science subject. The Talented Student Program is for students who achieve an ATAR greater than 99, or have participated in a science or mathematics olympiad, or have excelled in a particular science subject. The content of the Talented Student Program differs from department to department. Some departments allow students to study third year options in first year, others allow students to fast track their degree and others allow students to undertake research projects during their undergraduate study. Students who are invited to take part in the Talented Student Program work with a mentor to plan how they will integrate TSP activities into their studies.
