Monash University Open Days

We write to invite your students and their families to our Monash University Open Days this month.

At Monash, making change is not just what we do, it's who we are. This year, we're changing the way we deliver Open Day to you. We've flipped Open Day on its head to bring you an interactive digital experience over three days:

• Saturday 29 August, 10am – 2pm
• Sunday 30 August, 10am – 2pm 
• Monday 31 August, 4–7pm

           Registrations essential: monash.edu/openday
 
You will have the flexibility to personalise your experience to match your interests and the freedom to explore at your own pace, but now from the comfort and convenience of your own home.
