Overview
  • It’s hard to believe that we’re finally all going to things back in person. I don’t know about you, but I’m a little out of practice.
  • Open Days can feel pretty overwhelming with so much to see and do, which is why we’ve put this guide together so you can make the most of your visit.

This might be a bit of a nerdy confession, but I love a good Open Day.

Everything’s happening, and there’s an exciting feeling in the air as you explore your future campus and take the next steps to your dream course.
If you’re new to the whole Open Day thing, we’ve teamed up with UTS to give you a rundown of what’s involved.

First of all, what is an Open Day, and why should I go?

Open Days are basically a big event where you’re invited to come check out what a uni has to offer. You’ll be able to chat to academics, check out the campus and get a taste of uni life. Whether it’s attending an info session, speaking with current students or touring the campus, you’ll get a feel of what it’s like to study at uni.

How can I make the most of the Open Day experience?

It’s kind of like a big music festival - there are loads of different experiences to check out, so it’s a good idea to have a look at the Open Day program to plan your day.

Once you’ve figured out what you want to go see and do, it’s probably worthwhile to take a look through the uni’s course guide and have a think about what you’re interested in. Make sure to write down any questions you have in your phone, so you don’t forget to ask on the day!

Also as a pro tip - with all the activities, excitement and learning it can pan out to be a pretty big day. Make sure you pack something to eat or drink - or set aside some time to nip out to a food spot nearby to grab a bite and put your feet up. At UTS, you’re smack bang in the middle of the city, so there’s bound to be a great food spot nearby.
What if I can’t make it to Open Day in person?

If you can’t make it on the day, don’t worry! You will be able to chat online 1-1 with academics, staff and students as well as have a range of info sessions and on demand content to explore.
