Thousands attend University’s open day
A crowd of more than 3,000 people attended the University of the Sunshine Coast’s annual open day – Courses for Careers Day – on Sunday 19 August.
Visitors braved the wet weather to take part in campus tours, attend lectures about various degree programs and chat with USC staff and students.
The University’s annual Courses for Careers Day featured seminars on job prospects in particular fields and presentations for prospective students about how to apply to study, financial support available and USC’s support services.
Some “hands-on” scientific experiments, presented by the Faculty of Science, Health and Education staff, and the recently-opened Education Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Art exhibition at the USC Gallery also proved popular.
The University will offer a range of new study options in 2008 including Bachelor of Engineering programs, a Bachelor of Psychology, Bachelor of Science (Paramedic) and a Bachelor of Design.
