ABOUT THIS SESSION

Welcome to the Choosing Your Uni National Virtual Expo! This opening session is your roadmap for the week ahead. We'll walk you through how the Expo works, what sessions are on offer, and how to get the most out of every session — whether you're a Year 10 student just starting to think about your options, a Year 12 student in decision mode, or a parent supporting someone through the process.

What you'll learn in this session:
• How the Expo works and how to navigate the week's sessions
• Tips for narrowing down your university and study options
• How to create a personalised plan for which sessions to attend

ABOUT THE PRESENTER

Rob Malicki is Australia's leading independent voice on choosing a university.

As the co-founder of Choosing Your Uni, the national platform that helps students work out what and where to study, Rob brings 25 years of experience across Australian and international higher education. Throughout that time he's consulted, collaborated or worked with almost every university in the country.

Rob is the first and only person to have reviewed, in person, every Australian university on YouTube, producing the honest, side-by-side comparisons students can't find anywhere else. His content has been viewed millions of times by students in 500+ schools and 90+ countries.

Tens of thousands of prospective students, parents and careers advisors have used his work to cut through marketing spin and make confident decisions about their future.

Rob is passionate about how higher education transforms lives and doesn't care where you study, only that you find the right option for you. He's a strong advocate for exploratory years (formerly, gap years), student exchange, getting involved in student life, and changing direction if you're not enjoying what you're studying or working in.

Find Rob on LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube.
