Contact usOpen Day is your chance to explore everything unis like VU have to offer – in person. You can tour our campuses, explore our state-of-the-art facilities, chat with students and teachers, get course advice, attend hands-on workshops and demos, and experience what student life could look like for you! It’s a really valuable experience to getting the inside scoop on campus and life at uni or TAFE in general before you even finish school. It also gives you a great opportunity to apply on the spot for our Early Entry program, or even apply for a course right there and then!
Stay tuned – our Open Day events will run in August 2026 across both Footscray Park and City Tower campuses. More details (including dates, times and how to register) will be announced soon. Keep an eye on our events page so you don’t miss a thing.
Yes! Our TAFE-focused event at Sunshine Campus is a popular part of our event line-up each year. It’s a great way to explore TAFE courses, apprenticeships, and hands-on training options (some free!) We're planning to run it again later in 2026 – details coming soon.
Wondering what the deal is with VCE VM vs VET? Acronyms becoming ABC (Absolutely Baffling Content)? Don’t stress: just check out our quick guide to uni lingo, where we step out terms from ATAR to WIL – and everything in between.
We don’t currently offer a virtual Open Day – and here’s why. Nothing beats getting on campus and experiencing it for yourself, and for us nothing beats getting to meet you in person. From walking through our high-tech labs and learning spaces to meeting the people who could shape your future, Open Day is built to be hands-on and live. Prefer exploring online first? You can still take a virtual tour anytime – dive into 360° of Sunshine campus above now!
