NCSS has been offered in various formats since 1996 (formerly at the University of Sydney), and in 2023, we will be running concurrently at the University of Melbourne and at our new Sydney home, UNSW.

All NCSS students reside on campus at a residential college, with NCSS tutors and staff providing pastoral care for the duration of the summer school.
