The University of Wollongong (UOW) will throw open its doors on Saturday (22 June) for its annual open day.
Everyone from prospective students to interested community members are welcome to attend to learn about all aspects of day-to-day life on a busy campus.
Open Day at the Wollongong campus will be held from 10 am to 3 pm, featuring stalls, practical demonstrations, games, live music and plenty of giveaways.
Potential and future undergraduate and post-graduate students will have the opportunity to attend course presentations, meet academics and current students, go on campus tours and explore accommodation options and network with alumni.
The event will feature an expo hall with booths staffed by UOW course experts and advisors providing course information.
More than 100 information sessions will run throughout the day covering academic programs as well as early admission, scholarships, accommodation, high achiever programs, and UOW’s study abroad opportunities.
UOW Interim Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Student Life) Senior Professor Sue Bennett said UOW Open Day was the perfect opportunity to experience the UOW difference.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone to UOW Open Day. From high school students, non-school leavers and post-graduate students, their families and curious members of the local community there is something for everyone,” she said.
“Open Day is an interactive experience providing plenty of opportunities to meet academics, current students and our esteemed alumni to get all your questions answered and ensure you’re making a confident decision about your future studies in 2025 and beyond.
“Student-led tours will run regularly throughout the day to guide people through our world-class facilities.”
A Student Support Services Hub will help people find out about student services such as student accessibility and inclusion, Careers Central and the library services.
To celebrate Sunday’s International Women In Engineering Day, the Enabled by Engineering: International Women in Engineering Day event will be held at 2 pm on Open Day, in the SMART Infrastructure Facility (Building 6). It will feature a panel of practising professional engineers and students talking about their experiences in the field and in industry.
The full UOW Open Day program is available online upon registration so attendees can review the program and plan their day via the dashboard. Information sessions will run for 30 to 45 minutes and UOW eateries and cafes will be open during the day.
