PREPARE FOR
EVERY FUTURE
The Melbourne Model is designed
to help you maximise your
strengths, discover new ones and
stand out in the workplace.
You’ll start with an undergraduate
degree, developing a deep understanding
of your chosen area of interest and a
breadth of knowledge across multiple
disciplines. On graduation you can enter
the workforce, or progress to one of over
400 specialised graduate programs.
The Melbourne Model lets you design
your own study path while developing the
knowledge, skills and interdisciplinary
perspectives you need to thrive in every
kind of future.
