300 budding artists visit UOW

300 high school students and parents from Wollongong, the Shoalhaven and southern Sydney visited UOW on Tuesday (May 27) for the Creative Arts Information Evening.
The evening was for Year 12 students interested in studying Creative Arts and began with an information session launching Early Entry, which has not been available in the Creative Arts Faculty before.
Previously the Early Entry scheme has only been available in selected faculties at UOW, but it is being rolled out across all nine faculties for students beginning university in 2009.
Although Creative Arts regular entry, where interviews and auditions take place after HSC exams are over, is still available, students are now invited to apply through Early Entry. With the new scheme, students who apply early can find out if they have a place in a Creative Arts degree before sitting their exams.
As well as finding out about Early Entry, the guests attending the information night spoke with staff and current students about what it is like to study at UOW, browsed the faculty galleries, and explored the studios and facilities on offer.
Students were also given tips on how to make the most of their auditions and interviews in Creative Arts, and how to put together a good application and portfolio.
