Open your mind at a UQ

Prospective students can find out what university life is like at University of Queensland Open Days in August.

The Open Days will give people the opportunity to meet UQ staff, attend presentations on study areas and careers, tour the campuses, libraries and museums and take part in a range of activities.

The St Lucia Open Day on August 7 (9am-4pm) and the lunchtime information session at Customs House on August 10 (11.30am-2.30pm) will have information on all undergraduate and postgraduate programs across all UQ campuses.

The Ipswich Open Day on August 21 (10am-2pm) will focus on Ipswich programs and the Gatton Open Day on August 28 (9.30am-3pm) will concentrate on Gatton programs.

While all Open Days have information about postgraduate programs, a special Postgraduate Expo will be held at the UQ Centre at the St Lucia campus on August 8 (3pm-6pm).

UQ`s Dean of Students Dr Lisa Gaffney said the Open Days would allow potential students the opportunity to take a look inside one of Australia`s premier universities.

“Whether you are planning your future, looking for a change, or want to continue studying, I would advise people not to miss UQ`s Open Days,” Dr Gaffney said.

“They are a perfect chance to experience the resources, facilities and opportunities that are available.”

UQ offers Queensland`s most comprehensive range of both undergraduate and postgraduate programs.

In total there are over 370 degree programs and 5600 courses to choose from.

“These high-quality degree programs will provide prospective students with many options to help get them started, enhance their promotion potential or put them on the path to a career change,” Dr Gaffney said.

“There are a variety of study options on offer to fit in with needs and interests.

“Staff at the University will be happy to assist with any enquiries from prospective Australian and international students.”
