The Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES), is a new state-wide provider of programs for high-ability and high-achieving students across Victoria’s government schools. CHES is a government-funded initiative with a high priority on enrolments of students from rural, regional and remote schools.
From Term 1 2023, CHES will commence delivery of a range of Higher Education Studies (first-year undergraduate subjects) in partnership with universities and two specialist VCE studies (Extended Investigation and Algorithmics). Students will be able to study these accelerated subjects at CHES, which can contribute to their ATAR and earn them university credits, while completing their VCE studies at their chosen government school. Students will be able to study online or at the state-of the-art CHES facility through a hybrid and flexible schedule.
Applications for enrolment are now open.
The Minister for Education toured the new facility last week and announced the application timelines.
Applications to study a VCE subject at CHES in 2023 are now open via the CHES website.
Applications to study a Higher Education Study (university subject) through CHES in 2023 will open at the start of Term 3, 2022. In the meantime, students interested in undertaking a Higher Education Studies subject can lodge an expression of interest on the CHES website to be kept up to date as university programs are announced in the coming weeks.
Applications will close on 31 August 2022.
Please refer to the application form and information on the application process on the CHES website.
