What a day! Open Day 2026 has officially wrapped 🎉 It was incredible to welcome future students to campus for such an exciting day. From interactive academic workshops, campus tours and one-on-one advisory zones to games, wellbeing initiatives with Thrive Thursdays, and special appearances from Arc and UNSW Sydney, there was so much to explore. We were also proud to launch something new: our Applied Degrees, industry-embedded degrees designed to get students career ready from day one 👀  We were joined by industry panellists Koorosh Rouhani from NCS Group Australia, Natalia Trapl from Freedom Furniture and Rob McTaggart from Intel for a discussion facilitated by Dr James Bailey on what employers are looking for today and how Applied Degrees are shaped around real industry expectations. It was a pleasure to meet so many future students and hear about their goals and ambitions for the future. Thanks to everyone who came along and helped make the day so memorable. See you next year! 💛
