A world of opportunity awaits at ACU Open Day

This is sponsored content for ACU.

For anyone considering applying for university, attending a campus Open Day is a must. Open Day provides the best chance to get a real sense of what your future university life will be like.

In keeping with current government public health restrictions, ACU 2020 Open Day will be held as three national events in virtual format, which will be supplemented by smaller on campus events and tours later in the year (subject to the easing of restrictions).

Future students will be able to access the same information they would get at a physical Open Day - though this year it will be a virtual experience. ACU will offer a combination of pre-recorded informational videos on our disciplines and study areas, live webinar-style sessions with accompanying chat, and additional chatroom features for prospective students to ask questions and access support.

Students will be able to tour our campuses and facilities virtually, and ACU will showcase our student support services, international opportunities, and other services of the university.

Non-school leavers and postgraduate students will also be able to access information to help them in their decision-making journey towards university study. It is the perfect opportunity to gain personalised advice and get all your questions answered.

Future students can also find out more about our range of pathway and entry programs. If you're worried about achieving the entry requirements you need, these programs, which include Foundation Studies, diploma and certificate courses, will help you gain entry into a range of ACU undergraduate degrees.

Year 12 students will have the chance to find out more about the ACU Guarantee program, which will allow them to gain entry to ACU based on their Year 11 results. Opening in August for 2021 applications, the ACU Guarantee program will see offers made as early as September - although you must still complete your Year 12 exams to qualify. If you're concerned about your Year 11 results, you can apply for additional adjustment factors by submitting up to three statements outlining personal circumstances and your motivation for university study.

ACU Ballarat Campus Dean Professor Bridget Aitchison said, "ACU's Ballarat campus is unique. Here, students get the full experience of a national university as well as the community feel of a small campus where everyone knows each other. On this campus, you are a real person here; not a faceless number. Your lecturers will know you, and you will know them.

"When you leave your studies at ACU, you are equipped for more than just excellent job skills. You are equipped to go out into the world and make a difference to it. Not only do you graduate with excellent employment prospects, but also with the knowledge and understanding to make the world a better place by your presence in it. That's the ACU difference."

ACU Open Days will be held on Saturday 29 August, and 5 & 12 September, 9am to 3pm. For more information visit openday.acu.edu.au or to book a one-on-one consultation, contact us via the ACU website, email askacu@acu.edu.au or call 1300 275 228.
