Federation University Australia (FedUni) opened its doors to the students of tomorrow, attracting 600 visitors to the new Berwick campus’ open day.
The Sunday 27 August event was the first for the new campus which was acquired from Monash University last year, as FedUni continues to expand its education programs in metropolitan Melbourne.
The Berwick open day also coincided with the launch of six new degree programs, bringing the total number on offer at the campus to 21.
The six new undergraduate degrees include: BioMed, Mechatronic Systems Engineering, Criminal Justice, Psychological Science, Social Science and Health Science.
A FedUni spokesperson said the day gave secondary students the chance to see the university, ask academic staff questions and meet current students to get a taste of what life is like at university to set them on their desired career path.
The spokesperson said there was a noticeable buzz around at the FedUni Berwick campus with many people commenting on how supportive staff and student ambassadors were.
