From art heists and digital showbags to live music and one-on-one course advice ... this year's QUT Open Day will be jam-packed with information and entertainment on July 27.
The annual open day will showcase the university from 9am to 3pm on Sunday, July 27, at the Gardens Point campus in George Street in Brisbane's city heart.
