Open Days 2025
Attending institution open days gives you the opportunity to learn how an institution works, where it is, what opportunities are available and how you feel about the environment, people and courses.
You can meet staff and students, see facilities, experience the on campus culture and ask lots of questions. It’s a good idea to visit open days for all of the institutions you're interested in studying at so you can feel prepared and be confident in your decisions when listing courses in your VTAC preference list.
The following VTAC (Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre) link provides information about tertiary open days - Institutions, campuses, dates and times.
