Organising your tour of Southbank Institute of Technology
At Southbank Institute of Technology we regularly receive requests from secondary schools to host tours at our South Bank campus. To make it easier for you to plan, register and manage your school’s visit we have developed some helpful information and an online campus tour request form.
If you are planning a semester one tour the online registration needs to be completed by 31 March. Registration for semester two tours needs to be completed by 30 June. This allows us time to ensure teaching staff and facilities are available and make sure your tour of the campus is informative and successful.

Drop off and parking
The bus drop off point is in Ernest Street and can be seen on the campus map. Unless arranged otherwise your tour group will be met at this location when you arrive. Unfortunately there is no on-campus parking for buses. Please arrange for your bus to return to pick you up at your arranged time.

If students bring lunch with them on the day, there are plenty of tables and garden areas around the campus to enjoy a break.
