Tyree Global Leadership Program

To be eligible to apply students must:

• be an undergraduate female student studying an engineering degree (including dual programs)
• have a WAM of 70 or above
• have completed a minimum of 48 UOC
• be available to complete the program prior to commencing honours.

There is a three-step recruitment process.

A. Written and audio-visual application

Applicants must submit the following:

1. An up-to-date resume. We recommend using Resumer Checker before uploading your resume. 
2. A written personal statement outlining why you are interested in the Tyree Global Leadership Program, your career goals, and any challenges you may have faced in pursuing a career in engineering. The statement should be 400 words maximum in length. 
3. A video statement responding to the question “Tell us about a time when you had to display your leadership skills in a team environment”. The video will be submitted via the application platform Vieple – you are not required to pre-record a video. Vieple will allow you to record your live video response for submission. You will be given a maximum of two minutes to respond to the question and two attempts to respond. We recommend that you prepare some points for your response before accessing the application platform and access our Student Resources page, which provides resume and interview tips. 
4. A copy of your academic statement. You may submit your academic statement from myUNSW; an official transcript is not required.

Should you successfully progress through the first-round assessment process, the second phase involves three short tests and an in-person interview. Further details and instructions will be provided to second round candidates in the week commencing 1 March. The second round includes:

B. Psychometric testing

Candidates are linked to three tests, including numerical reasoning, logical reasoning, and a tailored situational reasoning test with a focus on leadership attributes. The tests should be completed within three days.

C. Case study interview

Individual interviews or an assessment centre will be conducted depending on the number of successful candidates in round two.

The Global Leadership Program has been designed with the student workload in mind. Learning experiences have been scheduled in pre-term periods and should complement and enhance your study program. Each term has scheduled activities from 5 hours to a maximum of 20 hours, the majority of which are scheduled pre-term (O-Week). The program also offers one subsidised* overseas course opportunity per participating student (for 6 UoC general education or free elective credit). Please see the program timelines for more programming information. 

*A portion of the scholarship funds will go towards additional program fees and costs associated with the overseas experience such as accommodation and flights. Tuition fees for the 6 UoC course will not be covered by the scholarship. 

Yes. While some aspects of the program will be compulsory for all students, other aspects will provide options that will allow you to personalise the program to suit interests, goals and availability. Please refer to the program timeline to see the compulsory and flexible activities. 

No. Students awarded entry into the program will be granted access to special training and experiences that the scholarship is designed to fund. Depending on the specific experiences you choose, UNSW Employability may fund the experience for you using your allocated scholarship, or transfer a portion of the scholarship to you for use towards a specific experience in the program.
