Event provides unique opportunity to learn about postgraduate courses"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Next week Curtin University will be holding its first ever virtual postgraduate day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prospective students will be able to log into the event from the comfort of their lounge-room on Wednesday 19 October, and chat with expert Curtin staff.<\/p>\n<p>By logging on to Curtin\u2019s Virtual Event on Wednesday 19 October between 9am-9pm, students will be able to speak with Curtin staff and ask questions relating to postgraduate courses, fees and admission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ty Hayes, Associate Director of the Future Students Centre at Curtin University said the Virtual Event will make it even easier for students to find out about their postgraduate options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people want to be able to do postgraduate study but are not sure if it\u2019s right for them,\u201d Ty said.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cPostgraduate students are typically working professionals that lead busy lives and may not have time to get out to campus in the evening for an information session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe offer a range of courses online, so it made sense to give potential students the chance to speak with us online at a time that suits them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For those who prefer a more traditional information event, Curtin will also be holding two one-hour Postgraduate Information Sessions on the same evening at the John Curtin Gallery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Commencing at 5pm and 6pm, the sessions will provide access to Curtin academics, faculty experts and alumni, who will offer advice, information and experience within their particular fields to students.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To find out more information or register for the event
