> A notebook to jot down notes
Explore top programmes
Open Days are one of the best times to check out programmes that match your interests and aspirations.
Get a head start by exploring some of UOW Malaysia's top offerings:

Ask the right questions
Open Days are the perfect time to get answers directly from academic staff and counsellors.
Jot down any questions you have about scholarships, internships, career prospects or more. If you’re struggling to come up with one, here are some helpful questions to ask:
> What sets similar programmes apart?
> What career opportunities do graduates typically have?
> Are there chances for internships?
> What support services are available for new students?
Getting the answers you need will help you understand your options better to make well-informed decisions about your future.
