Welcome to our Competition Hub

We are delighted to invite students in Years 10 to 12 to take part in a range of exciting competitions hosted by our university departments. 

Our competitions are designed to inspire creativity, encourage critical thinking, and develop valuable skills for future study and careers. Many also offer the chance to win prizes, receive feedback from university academics, and strengthen your university applications. 

While we don’t have any competitions open right now, we can’t wait to welcome your entries in the near future. Keep checking back for your chance to get involved and discover what our departments have to offer.
