It all starts with you
Explore UC is an hands on, student-simulation opportunity for your Year 10 to 12 students to get a taste of university life.
Students will get to build their own itinerary to sample what UC has to offer, including faculty workshops, campus activities, and more. It’s a great way to tour the campus and live the UC student life before deciding on where students wish to study. Career Advisors and teachers also get to enrich their classroom excursions through this immersive, personalised day of learning that makes an impact!
