Information for Schools
The History program aims to bring the historical skills and knowledge of its staff to debates on public issues and to involve members of the community with historical interests in our programs. We aim to foster links with schools through a range of faculty and departmental schemes, through MUPHAS, and through support for history teachers' associations and their programs. Many of our events, such as our seminars and conferences are targeted towards those in the general public and broader educational community who have historical interests.

University of Melbourne Extension Program
The Melbourne University Program for High Achieving Students (MUPHAS) was established in 1993. It is an extension studies program for academically-gifted Year 12 students, giving them the opportunity to study a first-year university subject sequence while still at school. Endorsed by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA), the MUPHAS program gives students a taste of University life and at the same time can contribute to final ENTER scores. Consult the MUPHAS website for more details on History subjects or for general information.
Master Class Program
Master Class is a free program for Year 10 students, run annually between July and September. Lectures are offered on a variety of topics by outstanding academic teaching staff from the University of Melbourne. You will learn about interesting topics in an interactive and informative environment and at the same time, gain an understanding of how a university works. By attending one or more of the Master Class series, you can sample interest areas and think more about what appeals to you when choosing subjects for VCE.
Consult the Master Class website for more information on the program.
