Experience JCU for a day of excitement, fun and discovery.

UniX Year 8 will help students identify and shape their future ambitions, assist with their future subject choices, and promote positive post-school pathways to tertiary education.

What to expect

Students will sample what it’s like to study different subjects including medicine, nursing, science, engineering, education, social sciences, business, law and the creative arts.

These are just some activities designed to develop and articulate experiences that showcase students skills and strengths. We’ll also help students explore potential jobs through career taster activities and presentations.
