Open Day

"I really enjoy the environment here, and how the lecturers support me. MIT stands out because of the hands-on experience we get. The staff and lecturers here are very helpful and supportive. 

We go out on field-based hours which has encouraged me, and given me the confidence to become an early childhood teacher. 

The advice I would give to someone studying at MIT would be don't be nervous because you have a very supportive team at MIT to help you out."

“MIT is a great place to study. From the first moment I arrived, I felt welcome and like part of a big family. The small classes, great resources and support from our amazing lecturers kept me on track. They were always available when we needed help. 

The practical skills I learnt at MIT gave me confidence during my placements and I graduated feeling well prepared to enter the workforce.”

MIT is a really good school. It's given me the techniques, the talent, and the way of doing things in the right way."

"I chose to study here because I feel more comfortable in this environment. You’re not just a number. Our lecturers know you, they know your name, and they know your lifestyle. It’s like a family here at MIT. 

There is lots of variety and opportunities to apply our learning. We are learning in the books, we are learning with technology and we are learning hands-on. I’m learning heaps and it has been the best experience."

Maryanne Moa
MIT sport student

"I began studying at MIT instead of doing year 13 at school, and I’m so glad I did. It offered great facilities and our learning was very hands-on, which made it fun. We also had great support throughout from our tutors, who were mostly ex-tradesmen. Their strong industry connections meant we had a head-start when it came to securing a job after graduating. 

If you’re considering MIT, I’d say go for it; It can really take you places. You’ll be well qualified and prepared for the workplace."
