Student for a day
USQ Springfield will be holding Student for a Day sessions in 2010.
You can expect a full program of events (PDF 274kb) so that you will get a real feel for student life! During the campus tour, you will be able to view our facilities and learn about the regular lunchtime activities. If you don't know what a lecture is or what happens in a tutorial, you will have the opportunity to find out by attending a lecture or tutorial.
These sessions are designed for non-school leavers, eg mature-age students, students who have deferred their studies, etc.
