Swinburne Open Day
10am – 4pm Sunday 28 July, Hawthorn campus
What do a robot dog, a futurist, and an award-winning videogame composer have in common? They all have a story to tell about the possibilities of innovation – and they’re waiting to meet you at Open Day.
What is Open Day?
Open Day is your chance to see what’s possible at Swinburne and find where you fit in.
Hear success stories from real Swinburne students. Discover a range of courses that combine your passion with a purpose. Learn about the research and tech that are changing the world – and meet the people behind it all. Expand your knowledge, and your horizons.
Why register?
With over 300 different activations, there are plenty of reasons to attend Open Day. But here are two very important reasons why you’ll want to register first:
Go into the draw to win
When you register to attend Open Day, you’ll be automatically entered into the draw for the Swinburne Giveaway Giveaway. That’s no typo: it's your chance to win $1000 for you, and $1000 for a cause you care about.
Access a virtual campus tour
Familiarise yourself with the Hawthorn campus before you even arrive with a virtual tour. We’ll email you the link after you register so you can navigate Open Day with confidence.
Ready, set, register

Step 2: Create your Digital Tote Bag
You'll need your hands free for all the tasty food and coffee, so we’ve made your Open Day tote bag 100% digital this year. It’s one part convenience, one part innovation, one part waste reduction. Save time by creating yours now – the first 500 people to sign up will score some free Swinburne merch! We'll let you know where to pick up your merch on the day via email if you’re one of the lucky first 500.
