Study at Vic Day 2009 Video

We had over 4000 students from all across the country at Study at Vic Day on Friday 27 August 2010. It was a great day, and while you are waiting for us to get the 2010 video up, please enjoy the 2009 version.

Study at Vic Day 2010

We are already planning Study at Vic Day 2011! It will be on Friday 26 August 2011.
To get an idea of what it will be like have a look at the 2009 video above or the 2009 slideshow.

2011 Competition
Wherever you see us next year: at your school, at an expo or at an information evening, you will have the chance to win big when you start your first year at Victoria.   We are running a competition from 1 March to 4 pm on 25 August 2011, so be in to win. Check out more here.

Accommodation & campus tours
Why not take this opportunity to explore Victoria's Halls of Residence? We have tour buses running between the halls and the Kelburn Campus. All buses leave from and return to just outside the Cottom Building, through Gates 6 and 7. For an example schedule check out our 2010 programme booklet.

All Kelburn campus tours start from outside the library foyer (Gate 5, Kelburn Parade). Tours of the Kelburn campus last for 45 minutes.
Alternatively, explore the Pipitea Campus (Law and Commerce), the Karori Campus (Education) or the Faculty of Architecture and Design at the Te Aro Campus on one of the free buses that run all day from Kelburn Parade.

For examples of all tour and bus times please check the 2010 programme booklet.

Subject information sessions
Many of our facilities and Schools will be open throughout the day for you to drop in, have a look around and get to know the staff.
Subject information sessions will be run throughout the day. They will include information on what a subject is about, what courses are available in that subject, admission requirements and potential career paths. Many of these sessions will be repeated so that you can attend as many as you like.
There will also be Course Planning sessions to help with any questions you may still have about your first year's programme. Add to this a session on Accommodation at Victoria, and you should be able to find out all you need to know.

Full sample subject listings and example session times can be found in the 2010 programme.

Expos
Expo will run from 9am – 3pm all over the campus, so you can check out exciting displays on many of the subjects and services our Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, Education and the New Zealand School of Music offer our students.

One of these expos, focusing on Science and Engineering, will be set up in the Alan MacDiarmid Foyer, while you will be able to find the Faculties of Architecture and Design, Commerce and Administration and Law in the Maclaurin Foyer (Gate 5, Kelburn Parade). Our Student Services will also be there, so you can talk to current students and staff about the many opportunities and support available.

Talk to someone about your options
At any point throughout the day you can make your way to the ground floor of the Hunter Building (Gate 2, Kelburn Parade) where one of our Liaison Officers will discuss all your options with you, or answer any questions about your programme of study at Victoria University.

Breakfast & lunch
We know some of you will have travelled large distances to get to us on Friday morning, so we are putting on a light breakfast for you in the Quad from 8.30am. There will also be a lunchtime BBQ and in the Quad outside the Library from 1pm. Here you also find out some information about the various student clubs operating around the campus.

Getting here
Getting here by bus:
There are specially scheduled free buses leaving from Bunny Street, at our Pipitea Campus, next to the Railway Station at 8.15, 8.30, 8.45, 9.00, 9.15 and 9.30am. Victoria students will be waiting outside the station to welcome you and show you the way to the buses.
Buses 18 and 23 also run to the Kelburn Campus (www.metlink.org.nz)

Getting here by car:
It will be very difficult to find parking during the event, so we do not recommend bringing your car. However should you be getting dropped off, do so at Gates 2 or 5 on Kelburn Parade.

Getting here on foot:
If you are walking up to the Kelburn Campus, click here for good directions to Kelburn Parade and then enter through Gate 5. 

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Victoria.
