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
ATAR for a metropolitan campus. ATAR’s are often lower and they often offer more
personal assistance, accommodation, and a lifestyle which will suit some students.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you plan to apply for a course involving an interview/folio presentation/ audition as part of the selection process you may well be asked what you learnt or found of interest about the course at Open Day. Attendance is A MUST!

What is VET in the VCE? VET stands for Vocational Education and Training, and vocation refers to work or employment. 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’. So, students can opt to do a VET subject while completing their VCE and, in most cases, the VET qualification contributes towards the VCE and the ATAR. Students wishing to find out more should contact the Career Centre.
