THE
MELBOURNE
MODEL
A DIFFERENT WAY
OF THINKING
The University of Melbourne offers a
flexible, progressive degree opportunity.
Our degrees aren’t like most others you
will find in Australia. They are aligned with
those offered by many top institutions
worldwide – which means more
opportunities for you.
In a competitive market, having both an
undergraduate and a higher-level graduate
qualification helps our students stand out
from the rest.
You’ll start with one of our undergraduate
degrees. You can then choose to join the
workforce, or specialise at graduate level.
During your time with us, you'll be able
to study at partner institutions across
the world. There, as in the employment
market, your degree path will be
recognised and understood.
We want you to create your own unique
Melbourne experience, with the power to
choose your direction and keep exploring
new options. This is important in a world
where careers are changing fast and
employers value independent thinking.
We also want you to be able to take
advantage of our knowledge precincts and
partnerships, and to connect with brilliant
minds who can offer you new perspectives.
Few people graduating today will stay
in the same industry forever. With our
degrees, you will build the right skills and
global networks to adapt successfully.

SAMPLE PATHWAYS
Bachelor of Biomedicine (Honours) →
PhD in Microbiology and Immunology
Melbourne is home to several world-
leading research institutes. Research
specialists in Immunology join the fight
against antibiotic-resistant superbugs,
cancers and other threats to life.
Bachelor of Biomedicine → Master of
Engineering (Biomedical)
Modern health outcomes are increasingly
dependent on thinkers who can combine
knowledge of biology and engineering.
Graduates of Biomedical Engineering could
work on developing new drug therapies;
building artificial organs, limbs, heart
valves and bionic implants to replace
lost function; or growing living tissues to
replace failing organs.
22“As I was unsure of what particular career I wanted, Secondary
