University Experience Program 2008

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend...

A Day In The Life Of... A University Student?

Well, here's your chance!

Following the HUGE success of this program again last year, A Day In The Life Of... is back in 2008!

We are inviting year 10, 11 and 12 students, as well as Mature Age applicants, to come onto the campus and experience La Trobe University, Bendigo in a unique, fun and interactive way.

Learn everything you need to know about the courses you are considering studying. Experience exactly what it is like to spend A Day In The Life Of... A University Student in the degree you are dreaming of.

Choose a general area of interest, and then attend two different workshops in a specific course area on the day. You'll also have the opportunity to meet staff, students and graduates, find your way around campus, pick up a couple of prizes along the way and then if you survive all of that, we'll graduate you so you're ready to take on the world as a real university student when the time is right! Best of all, the day is FREE!

It's you... an AMBITION... a MAP... and the sheer WILL to SURVIVE!!

Make an informed decision!


See which courses interest you, come along to a day (or more) and TRY BEFORE YOU APPLY!
