Summer School for High School Students

The QUT Mathematics Summer School is more than an educational experience; it’s an opportunity for motivated high-school students to network and connect with like-minded individuals who share their passion for mathematics.

Through interactive lectures, real-life applications, and computer workshops, participants will better understand how mathematics shapes our world.

Who can attend the summer school?

High-school students in Year 11 studying Specialist Mathematics (or mathematics at an equivalent level) can attend this summer school at QUT Gardens Point during the summer holidays.
