PROSPECTIVE university students will be given access to all areas as part of Victoria University’s Footscray open day this week.
The university will give next year’s students and their families the chance to look at the courses on offer and make a decision about study options. Music, hospitality and arts students will be called on to provide an insight into university life as part of the Footscray Park Campus open day.
The university’s senior events and marketing co-ordinator, Steve Pereira, said staff from all campuses would also be there to give prospective students first-hand information about the more than 700 courses on offer.
“And it’s more than just courses — we are also holding lots of other information sessions including, scholarships, finance, mature age entry and sport,” he said.
Under this year’s theme, Access All Areas, prospective students will be given information on living away from home and life in the university’s student village. Other activities include performances by university bands, VU’s annual problem-solving competition; REA/SIDC F1 regional trials, a modelling show by VU students and food prepared by VU’s hospitality students. The open day will be held this Sunday, 12 August, at the Footscray Park Campus on Ballarat Rd from 10am to 4pm.
