While most of our visitors are Year 10, 11 and 12 students, you’ll also find lots of activities and information tailored to students interested in graduate degrees and mature age applicants.
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.
We recommend checking which campus has your preferred course, as each campus will generally promote the courses they offer. All of our ten faculties will be represented at our Clayton campus. We’ve also put together a snapshot of each of our campuses below to help you choose which one is best suited to your interest areas. Of course, you can visit more than one campus as well.
Our Peninsula campus offers a vibrant and supportive community setting, with nearly 4000 students. It specialises in nursing, physiotherapy, paramedicine, occupational therapy, education and business administration courses.
Clayton is our largest campus, with more than 45,000 students from eight of Monash’s ten faculties represented here. It has the feel of a university town with everything you need all in one place.
Caulfield is Monash's second largest campus, with over 17,000 students, and is home to Monash Art, Design and Architecture and Monash Business School, as well as some arts, medicine, nursing and health sciences, and IT courses.
Our specialist campus in Parkville is located at the heart of Australia’s leading health and biomedical precinct. Dedicated to pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences, the campus is well connected to major hospitals and research organisations. Close to 2700 students study here.

You’re not alone; many students feel unsure about their next steps. Especially when all you can think about is finishing school. Open Day is a great place to start exploring your options in a low-pressure, supportive environment. We have so many activities on offer at Open Day across our interest areas, so take a look at what’s happening in each study area zone to see what feels like the right fit for you.
Each of our study area zones showcases what it’s like to study and work in that field, with activities running all day or repeated throughout the day. Take your time, ask questions and see what resonates with you – you might even uncover a course or pathway you hadn’t previously considered.
And if you’re torn between interests, you don’t have to limit yourself to one degree. Check out our double degrees, which can give you more flexibility and options after you graduate.
