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!

Your request for transport must be finalised before Friday 24 February.


Students are welcome to bring their packed lunches to enjoy. If you would like to request lunch discount vouchers as part of your school registration process, the UC team will be in touch to assess what packages are best suited to you and your students.
Vouchers will be limited to select businesses on campus. Vouchers will be provided on the day during the first welcome session; attending staff can pick them up and distribute them to students.
Alternatively, attendees can also purchase lunch out of pocket at our businesses found on campus. Our global kitchen offers a variety of dishes for those with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, gluten free, halal).
