Around 15 North Rockhampton High School Year 10s came to the end of their 5-week CQUniversity Experience program at Rockhampton Campus this week.

Equity Outreach Project Officer Catherine Spencer said Outreach programs are designed to encourage participation in tertiary studies from high school student groups traditionally under-represented in higher education.

"This program provided students with an insight into university life and explained the benefits of obtaining a tertiary qualification.

"Through fun and interactive sessions, the students were able to explore what an undergraduate degree is all about and the study programs offered at universities."
