Live music, food trucks, campus tours and interactive games will highlight Federation University Australia’s Gippsland Campus 2024 Open Day on Sunday, August 11.
All are welcome to attend with hands-on sessions in nursing, allied health and science labs, along with family friendly activities including a petting zoo and roaming entertainers.
The open day is an opportunity for prospective students and their families to explore everything that Federation University has to offer, from hundreds of courses like teaching, nursing and midwifery, to industry placement and extracurriculars.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet Federation’s world-class academics, student club and support representatives, along with current students and a broad range of business and industry partners.
“Open Day is a wonderful opportunity for prospective students to meet our staff, academics, current students and industry partners to gain valuable knowledge to set them on the path of achieving their career dreams,” Federation University Australia Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Duncan Bentley, said.
“We are excited to throw open our doors and showcase our beautiful campus and world-class regional facilities to the Gippsland community on what promises to be an exciting and informative day.”
Through connection to local industry, the University continues to roll out its Co-Operative education model, getting students work and world ready with paid placement opportunities in a range of courses.
