Travel to Mars, test your mathematical skills, explore your brain and go on an archeological dig at Macquarie’s Open Day in 2015, as staff and students reflect on a year of pioneering research, learning and teaching, and welcome future students to get involved.

From 10am to 4pm on Saturday 12 September, more than 15,000 visitors are expected on campus to pursue their study objectives, or simply explore the facilities and expertise of one of Australia’s premier universities.

Come along to learn something new, or set off on a bus or trackless train tour across our campus to visit our state-of-the-art library, the Australian Hearing Hub, our multimillion dollar media facilities, Art Gallery and Museums, and some of Australia’s best science and engineering labs.

Highlights for Open Day 2015 include:

A set of mini-lectures also gives insight into Macquarie’s experts and degrees, with topics such as:

There will also be a number of PACE lectures throughout the day. A key component of Macquarie’s unique learning environment, PACE (Professional And Community Engagement) is an initiative that helps our students develop valuable career skills through practical experience in the workplace or community. Our PACE experiences are fully integrated into our curriculum, with Macquarie the only Australian university to offer such a program.

Take a break throughout the day by kicking back alongside Macquarie’s iconic lake, take a camel ride or listen to great music.

Before Open Day, it’s a good idea to plan out your day. Log on to the interactive online planner to give you reminders on the day of where you need to be, and where you can meet up with friends at the same lectures and events.

On the day, MUSE is the place to start. You can:

  • Ask Macquarie student advisers about their experiences

  • Decide what lectures to attend

  • Find the right people to talk to throughout the day

  • Seek information on courses, careers, entry, recognition of prior learning, fees and scholarships.
