University of the Sunshine Caost Open Day
Information about the University of the Sunshine Coast open day (7th August) can be found at this link.
The University of Southern Queensland – USQ
If you're thinking about studying next year at USQ,
spending time at a USQ
Open Day will help you find out how ready you are. USQ is
holding Open Days at each of their three campuses in Toowoomba, Ipswich and
Springfield so you can explore the place, and meet the people.
What can you expect?
Each event, like each campus, will be slightly different...
Unsure of your study direction?
If you're not sure what to study to get where you want to go, you can book a Career Explorer Consultation with a Career Development Practitioner, for some personal advice at the Career Explorer Booth.
If you know what you want to study, but you're still not ready to make the commitment, meeting the academics and support staff that will be there beside you throughout your USQ degree, may be just what you need to get you over the line. You can even apply on the day!
Check out the activities and plan your Open Day. You can register for each session you want to attend or just for the day in general, but you'll go in the draw to win a $1000 gift card!
