A Taste of University Life at UTAS

On Wednesday July 5, students were offered the opportunity to go to the UTAS campuses in Launceston. We started the day at the Newham campus and then continued the day at the Inveresk campus. There was a large range of master class options to choose from, with a range including nursing, astrophysics, HPE education with students from Invermay primary school, and fine arts.

One of the courses I explored was the nursing program which was my favourite section of the day. It was interactive and engaging and allowed me to understand what would be expected in the workforce while supplying a useful understanding of the program itself. This opportunity helped me to both understand different career pathways I will enjoy in the future and helped eliminate the ones I was unsure of.

Overall, it was an informational day that offered helpful experiences and allowed me to get an understanding of a range of different fields.
