UniSC Market Days

The UniSC Student Guild hosts regular Market Days at the Sunshine Coast campus during the semester. Market Days showcase student clubs and associations, as well as live music and a range of external retailers offering products and services to complement our permanent tenants.

Market Days are a great opportunity for students to learn more about the UniSC community, connect with clubs and societies, access student services or obtain free advice from internal and external information booths.
