There will 100% be headstart lectures at RMIT in January (likely early Jan, and we announce things on the forums first, so keep an eye out!)

We'll offer as many subjects as we can fit, so:
- Biology
- Business Management
- Chemistry
- English
- English Language
- HHD
- Legal Studies
- Literature
- Methods
- PE
- Physics
- Psychology
- Specialist Maths

(I believe our regular Further lecturer will be away over January, so we may or may not end up running Further!)

Let me know if you have any questions  ;D

Where is Economics?

On the 'maybe' pile, along with a couple of other subjects. The trouble is we have to 1) find a potential lecturer who is a good educator and confident with the current course (a lot of subjects have changed study designs recently) and 2) weigh up the tenability of running lectures with smaller enrolment numbers.

Trust me, I'm a huge advocate for catering for underresourced subjects. But there are limitations on how many lectures we can run. So if it's a choice between offering a repeat of Further (a subject with 30,000 students) or running a Geography lecture (for the ~3,000 students in the state) sometimes compromises must be made.

Having said that, these lecture series get bigger each year, so you may be seeing some more subjects offered later in the year ;D

Does anyone know where we can find further information about these lectures?

(By the I meant additional information- not necessarily about further maths XD)

We'll launch them in the next few days - on the forums first. ;)
