Come one, come all, to JCU’s Open Day

Thousands are expected to head to Open Day at James Cook University in Townsville this Sunday (August 21) to experience a taste of what ‘our university’ has to offer.

The day is a great opportunity to find out more about JCU – whether you are interested in starting, changing or furthering your career or you are simply curious about what is happening 'out at the uni'.

People can get a better idea about courses and career options as well as information about degrees and pathways. With information sessions, advisers on hand, as well as plenty of fun activities and free stuff to collect, Open Day is a great day out for all ages.

Student Centre

This is the one stop shop for general enquiries and information about all things to do with the university. If you’re thinking about university and you’re not sure where to start, you can ask us about entry requirements, applications and more.

Eddie Koiki Mabo Library

Come and visit our state of the art library facilities. Meet Library staff members and take a tour of the facilities.

Student Association

The Student Association will be there on the day to tell you about the services they provide for first year students, including membership options with great on-campus deals, social sports, gymnasium details, events, food outlets and lots more.
