Finding the right place to study engineering starts with seeing how learning connects to real-world practice. This October 2026, prospective students, career changers, and engineering professionals are invited to explore an industry-focused educational institute, the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT), designed to build practical skills and support long-term career growth.
There are two events coming up that you would not want to miss! Perth Campus Open Day on the 9th of October and a Virtual Open Week, running from the 12th to the 17th of October 2026.
The Perth Campus Open Day is a free, on-site event taking place on the 9th of October 2026 at EIT’s Perth Campus.
EIT’s Perth Campus Open Day offers visitors the opportunity to experience the campus environment firsthand and gain a deeper understanding of what sets an EIT education apart.
Throughout the day, attendees can tour the facilities, engage with academic and professional staff, and speak with current students about their learning experiences and career journeys. Whether you’re exploring your first engineering qualification, looking to upskill, or considering a career change, the event provides valuable insight into EIT’s practical study options and practical learning approach.
Visitors can also discover the wide range of engineering disciplines available, including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Industrial Automation, Instrumentation and Process Control, and Renewable Energy. Designed to help prospective students make informed decisions about their future, the Perth Campus Open Day showcases how EIT’s industry-aligned programs equip graduates with the practical skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s engineering workforce.
During the event, visitors can also expect an afternoon of interactive activities designed to showcase EIT’s work integrated approach to engineering education. Event highlights will include:
