Hundreds flock to regions for CQU Open Days
More than 1300 aspiring students from all walks of life flocked to CQUniversity campuses across regional Queensland to explore their academic opportunities, discover a diverse range of degrees and receive expert advice on study options at recent Open Day events.
Throughout August, CQUniversity hosted six in-person Open Days across the University’s campus footprint in Bundaberg, Cairns, Gladstone, Mackay, Rockhampton and Townville.
More than 1300 people attended campus events where they were introduced to the University and enjoyed campus tours and expert advice from academic and professional staff.
For those unable to attend a campus event, prospective students had the opportunity to connect online with a series of webinars held for specific fields including Diagnostic Imaging, Psychology, Nursing, Paramedic Science, Engineering, Aviation and Next Steps.
CQUniversity Future Students Coordinator Skye Calvert said this year’s great attendance was a testament to the University’s flexible study options and supportive learning environment.
“Prospective students received a comprehensive glimpse into the array of educational pathways available, highlighting both the traditional campus experience and the modern flexibility of online learning,” she said.
"Attendees were genuinely enthusiastic about studying with CQUniversity and simply needed guidance on how to get started," she said.
Some of the most popular sessions and course interests were Nursing, Education and Diagnostic Imaging.
Attendees were particularly engaged with the innovative hands-on demonstrations and interactions with faculty members that showcased the practical aspects of the courses.
