Melbourne’s TTH Chapter is one of 32 at leading international universities, including Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge. The initiative aims to encourage students in pursuing their interests, learning new research skills, thinking critically, and working at the frontiers of their fields. Each Chapter produces a bi-annual edition of the journal, showcasing 50 per cent local content and 50 per cent content from other TTH universities. Melbourne TTH President, Terry Chang (4th year Science/Law, right) describes the journal as a “hands-on” experience, providing opportunities to progress in both roles and responsibilities. “It is a forum for University of Melbourne students to be heard and recognised while learning from their peers at other world class institutions.”
