Allow sufficient time for your visit; two hours or so would be advisable

Speak to staff about courses that interest you - note your questions beforehand

Get a student perspective - speak to students studying courses that interest you

Collect information/brochures

Ask about industry based-learning (IBL) opportunities; these can assist with gaining

employment

Ask about international study opportunities – a very popular option

Consider transport issues; is the campus accessible from where you live?

Check the environment where you will study; will you be happy there for three/four

years?

Consider the facilities/clubs offered at your preferred institution

Consider visiting a rural campus, especially if you think you won’t obtain a high enough

VET in the VCE programs are designed to give students an exposure to practical skills and an understanding of what it is like to ‘learn through doing’.

Students wishing to find out more should contact the Career Centre.
