    The senior years of schooling can be a difficult and stressful time for young people, as they navigate the wealth of courses and pathways available to them. To support and guide the young person in your care, try asking some open-ended questions, this will encourage them to consider their passions, strengths and career goals:

    • What do you want to try first when you finish school?
    • What are you good at?
    • What jobs, careers or industries appeal to you?
    • Do you know what’s on offer? It’s not just about the courses UC offers – what about connection to industry, support and wellbeing, Work Integrated Learning, studying abroad, and the culture on campus.   

    Whether you’re in Year 10, 11 or 12 and about to begin your university journey for the first time or returning after a long break, we know you’ll be looking for the right course.

    UC Open Day is the perfect opportunity to have all your questions answered.

    It can be scary thinking about decisions that might impact you for the rest of your life, at UC Open Day you’ll have the opportunity to chat to academics from all faculties, see our world class education facilities and get hands on.
