Helping Learners Find Their Future At UCOL Whanganui’s Open Day

UCOL Whanganui will open its doors to secondary students and other interested learners on Wednesday 25 August, providing them a chance to discover what’s on offer. Besides touring facilities, watching live demonstrations, and getting hands-on with activities, interested learners can also talk to staff, and other students, about what to expect when studying with UCOL.

Interested learners can tour facilities, watch live demonstrations, get hands-on with activities, and more at UCOL Whanganui Open Day.

Expert UCOL staff will lead dedicated tours of the facilities, including Creative Industries (Arts, Design, Music, and Photography), Beauty and Hairdressing, Business and Administration, Chef Training, Health and Science, Trades, and more. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, and they’ll be providing learners with information to help them make a well-informed decision about their future studies.

“We’ve put together a great opportunity to experience life and learning on our Whanganui campus. Interested learners can come and check out future study and career opportunities and have those crucial conversations before they make the big decision about their future study plans,” says Tessa Lyons, UCOL’s Head of Marketing & Brand.

“There are so many study pathways available here; and some that learners might not have even considered. There’s no better way to explore it all than by popping down to our Open Day and asking questions of the people who know best, while enjoying fun activities and food.”
