Students are our future leaders

The Oorala Youth Experience Program introduces students in Years 10, 11 and 12 to pursuing higher education. Students will be more equipped to approach study as a tertiary student after taking part in Oorala's Youth Experience Program.  By participating in a series of workshops and lectures students will have a personal experience in readiness to approach study as a tertiary student.

Aims of the Days

  • Receive information about studies and career pathways that complements the schools' current career guidance.
  • Gain knowledge of UNE's teaching and learning opportunities, degree options, and relevant career paths.
  • Gain more knowledge of the course requirements for a UNE undergraduate degree

What do we do?

In 2024, there will be two Experience programs available. Each day will feature multiple sessions that give students exposure to a variety of university faculties, including those in the humanities, social sciences, business, law, agriculture, health, and education, as well as the creative arts and sports science.

Students will be exposed to:

  • Academic lectures
  • Workshops and demos that are practical in nature
  • Choices for degrees at UNE
  • Social, cultural and networking opportunities

Students will also participate in workshops with current UNE students that will discuss their experiences around applying to UNE, what their experience is like,  getting support and being part of the Oorala mob.

Students have the option of participating in a single day or the entire three-day program which includes a full university experience and overnight stays at an UNE College.

When will the programs happen?

April 30 -May 3, 2024

Kruki: April 30 -May 3, 2024

Both of these Experiences will include the UNE OPEN Day on Fri 3 May, 2024
