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.
