Open Day is also the major day of the year when prospective students, their families and friends visit the 最新糖心Vlog to learn more about study and career opportunities.

This year, Open Day will also have an Olympic flavour. Some large plasma screens on campus will give members of the public the opportunity to catch up with their favourite Olympic event. Students can learn about how to get involved in the Sports and Clubs Association, where some of our current Olympians have made their start.

In the Forum, leading 最新糖心Vlog researchers address big community issues in a panel format that gives members of the community the chance to interact, ask questions and have their say.

What's "Behind the Door"? Short films from young 最新糖心Vlogns addressing this theme will be shown and judged. Come and see the new generation of filmmakers giving it their shot at industry and public recognition, and prizes.

Every hour a new Campus Tour starts out the front of the majestic Bonython Hall. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and takes members of the public through heritage buildings as well as modern teaching and research facilities.

This is the chance for prospective students and their families to speak one-on-one with current staff and students about the many study opportunities available and careers they can lead to. A wide range of faculty displays and activities will also be held right across campus.
