Open Day Faqs
Open Day is a chance for anyone who’s thinking of starting university to discover what Monash life is like.
While most of our visitors are Year 10, 11 and 12 students, you’ll also find lots of events and information tailored to students interested in graduate degrees and mature age students.
Family and friends of those considering university study are welcome to join too. This is a time when students will need advice and help making the right decisions for their future, so bring along anyone involved in your study journey.
Each campus will generally promote the courses they offer. We recommend checking our website to see which campus has your preferred course.
Nine of our ten faculties will be represented at our Clayton campus. You can find Art Design & Architecture at our Caulfield campus. Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences courses are delivered at our Parkville campus but will be represented at Clayton and Parkville.

For more details and to watch highlights from last year, see What to expect at Open Day.
We’ll be launching our Open Day online planner in mid-June to help you prepare for your visit. You'll be able to search our wide range of activities and events and add them to a customised plan that you can access on the day.
That’s a shame, but it doesn’t mean you have to totally miss out! We’ll be live streaming at various campuses throughout the day, so you can go online and check things out as if you were really there. There'll be more information about this when the Open Day online planner is launched in mid-June.
You’re also welcome to visit our campus at any time during the year or attend one of our many other events for students.
We recommend completing our Open Day registration form so we can keep in touch with you in the lead-up to Open Day. We'll provide you with tips to help you plan your day and highlight activities we think you may be interested in.
This can be a really difficult time for students as they try to navigate the huge range of courses available to them. To help them figure out what the best path might be, try asking them some open-ended questions that will encourage them to think about their passions, strengths and goals.
- What do you love doing most?
- What are you best at?
- Which careers appeal to you?
- What would you like to achieve by the time you're 30?
- Do you know what's on offer? It's not just about courses – what about study abroad opportunities, leadership programs, and recreational activities.
- Have you completed, or are you completing, the right VCE subjects?
From there, you can make a shortlist together, and decide on some back-up options in case your child doesn’t get into their first course or university preference. Remember, while this is an important decision, many people change their career paths a number of times throughout their life. That’s why at Monash we equip our students with critical skills sought after by employers like communication, problem-solving and leadership, as well as the more techinical ones.
We've developed a glossary to assist you in understanding key terms.
