Monash opens its doors

23 July 2008

Prospective students and their families can expect a fantastic day exploring Monash.

Organisers expect more than 70,000 people will visit Monash campuses or log on to the Monash website during Open Day 2008.

Open Day will be held on the first weekend in August.

Berwick, Gippsland, Parkville and Peninsula campuses will host prospective students and their parents on Saturday 2 August, 2008 and Caulfield and Clayton campuses will host their Open Day on Sunday 3 August, 2008.

This year's events will include Jubilee celebrations and an introduction to the Monash Passport, a new concept in education that offers students a bold new promise drawing on the University's international presence, leadership programs and research opportunities.

On Saturday buses will be operating between Berwick and Peninsula, while buses will run from 10 am between Caulfield and Clayton campuses on Sunday.

Director of Caulfield and Clayton campuses Professor Rob Willis said this year's Open Day would be rewarding for future students.

"Our organising committee has planned many extra events and sessions -- prospective students and their families can expect a fantastic day exploring Monash," Professor Willis said.

"There is a diverse range of information available to local and international students including accommodation information, admission and course information and scholarships."

"Prospective students can also expect to enjoy the Monash experience and learn first-hand what it's like to be part of the life of the University through tours of the campuses, libraries, lecture theatres, galleries and laboratories."

Professor Willis said it was an incredibly exciting time for Year 11 and 12 students.

"We're proud of our achievements as we continue to grow and develop -- there's always wonderful new facilities to explore."
