Study at Vic Day 2009 Video

We had over 4000 students from all across the country at Study at Vic Day this year on Friday 28 August 2009. It was a great day - despite the gusts - and we will soon have the 2009 photo slideshow up to help you to re-live the day. In the meantime enjoy the 2009 video .

Study at Vic Day 2010

We are already planning Study at Vic Day 2010! It will be on Friday 27 August 2010.
To get an idea of what it will be like have a look at the 2009 video above or the 2009 slideshow.

2010 Competition
Wherever you see us this 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 2 March to 4 pm on 26 August 2010, so be in to win. Check out more here.
There will also be spot prizes - so keep an eye out for the 'Lucky Vic Tickets' which some of our students (in the green polar fleeces) will be handing out during the day.

Accommodation & campus tours
Why not take this opportunity to explore Victoria's Halls of Residence? We have hop-on/hop-off buses looping between the halls and the Kelburn Campus. All buses leave from and return to Kelburn Parade. For an example schedule check out our 2009 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 2009 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 morning. They will include information on what a subject is about, what courses are available in the 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.

Full sample subject listings and example session times can be found in the 2009 programme, which you will be able to download here.

Expos
An expo will run from 9am – 3pm on the Overbridge and in the Kirk Foyer so you can check out exciting displays on many of the subjects and services we offer our students.

A second expo, focusing on Science and Engineering, will be set up in the Maclaurin Foyer and Cotton Street (Gate 5, Kelburn Parade), so you can talk to current students and staff about the many opportunities available within these faculties.

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 with you all your options, or answer any questions for you about your programme of study at Victoria University.

Entertainment
As well as some great competitions and surprise giveaways, there will be a lunchtime BBQ and entertainment in the Quad outside the Library from 1pm. Here you also find out plenty of information about the various student clubs operating around the campus.
