Changes to Open Day 2020
With the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the health and wellbeing of our Monash community remains a top priority. As a result, we're currently planning how we can bring you the best Open Day experience possible.
You'll still have access to key information and resources, including access to our incredible teaching staff. We understand how important the campus experience is when considering where to study. We're working hard to find alternative ways and dates to bring these experiences to you.
We'll continue to provide you with Open Day updates here.

As a parent, how can I help my child find the right course?
This can be a really difficult time for students as they try to navigate the huge range of study options 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. 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 preference.
