University of Melbourne Information Day for Interstate students and families

The University of Melbourne would like to invite you to attend our Information Day for interstate students and their families at our Parkville campus on Monday 10 July 9:00am – 5:00pm.

The day will focus on aspects of the university that are of greater concern to interstate students such as the application process, scholarships, student services, accommodation options and financial assistance. Participants will have an opportunity to ask current University of Melbourne students who have come from interstate about their experience and how they managed the transition. The program will also include a campus tour followed by a free lunch at one of the residential colleges and finally a college tour.

The University of Melbourne also highly recommends you turn your University of Melbourne experience into a long weekend and participate in another event we are running on the previous Friday 7 July ‘A Day at Melbourne’ where you will find out about their undergraduate courses structure, majors, graduate pathways, enhancement programs and activities that can be done within each faculty.
