When you choose a place to study, you want the best
university, but it helps if it is located in an exciting city
where you can enjoy your time outside the campus,
expand your cultural range and engage in serious sports.
No other city has
world class music,
frequent major sports
events, a ground
breaking art scene,
the best coffee and a
great club scene, all
within a short walk
from campus and not
at wallet-breaking
prices. In a city with
street performers,
regular festivals, strong communities with
their own characters, you can find your kind of
neighbourhood.
best dining experiences available at all prices.
Whether you seek the best of world film,
the opportunity to watch excellent sports, it
will be here. When you find you have a quiet
moment, walk down to the city’s family room
– the Federation Square plaza, where you can
hang out and watch the big screen, scope out
the people walking by or get a bite to eat with
friends.
Melbourne is an accessible and diverse city. The
centre of the city with its grand roads, defining
blocks that are woven with narrow lanes, set up
great spaces and intimate nooks. Dive down the
laneways in the city and find a new opportunity
for your interests. Tram down to St Kilda and
enjoy the beachside fun. In the suburbs, each
with its own character, you will find the culture
you seek.
With a comprehensive public transport
system, an employment base of international
companies and a large student body, this is a
young and vibrant city, yet one that has depth
and history. All this makes it the ideal city for
serious studying and serious fun.
Explore the city where local designers turn out

Unlike other world cities, none of the activity
is too far away and all of it is easy to access.
While other cities might match the list, none
of them will be as friendly, easy to get around,
clean and safe as Melbourne.

Introducing the University of Melbourne.
The University of Melbourne is the second
oldest university in Australia – legislation to
establish the University of Melbourne was
passed in 1852. In 1855, the first classes
commenced with just four professors and
16 students.
Today, the University has seven campuses
around Victoria and enrols approximately
45 000 students annually. The main campus
is still located on the original grounds in
Parkville, an inner city suburb in Melbourne.
The Parkville campus is situated within
a renowned knowledge hub termed the
‘Parkville Precinct’ and sits alongside eight
hospitals, many leading national research
institutes and a wide range of knowledgebased industries. This leads to many
opportunities for collaboration and learning
for both our academics and students.
10
And yet, the Parkville campus is a mere ten
minutes from Melbourne’s central business
district area, a vibrant, multicultural city
where our students can engage with the
many sporting and cultural activities that
Melbourne hosts each year. The University
also makes its own contributions towards
the city’s cultural landscape, for example, the
Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC), which
is a department of the University, and the
Victorian College of the Arts is located in the
vibrant arts precinct of Southbank.
Alongside a vibrant local profile, the University
also has a strong international presence
maintained not only from our network of
worldwide alumni, but also from the extensive
research collaborations and partnerships with
more than 170 universities around the world.
The University is also an active member
of Universitas 21 and the Association of
Pacific Rim Universities – both networks of
renowned research-led universities.

Studying at Melbourne
The historic 1888 building, home of the Melbourne Teacher’s College from 1889.
A series of wide-ranging academic reforms were
initiated in 2008 – these are collectively known as
the Melbourne Model.
New Generation
BACHELORS degrees
At the core of the Melbourne Model are the
New Generation bachelors degrees. Each
one of these degrees offers you a chance
to study specific disciplines in depth, while
providing the opportunity to undertake subjects
from other areas. Together with increased
prospects for internships, study abroad and
participation in industry projects, these degrees
offer you the chance to explore a range of
interests before choosing a career path.
With the aim of producing well-rounded
graduates, the Melbourne Model has taken
into account the changing face of the 21st
century workforce – one that encourages
and rewards life-long learning and where it is
not uncommon to pursue multiple careers.
Students at Melbourne will undertake broader
undergraduate degrees followed by intense
professional training at graduate level.
Courses and the
Melbourne Model
• A graduate professional degree
The six New Generation degrees are:
The Melbourne Model sets a new standard
in Australian higher education. It also aligns
the University more closely with the best
of international educational practices across
Europe, North America and Asia.
• A research higher degree.
• Bachelor of Arts
Your studies will be underpinned by the
Melbourne Experience, which aims to provide
unprecedented opportunities to enrich your
studies, including:
• Bachelor of Biomedicine
The Melbourne Model consists of six New
Generation undergraduate degrees leading to
one of three outcomes:
• Direct entry into the workforce
• Research projects
• Internships, work experience and
volunteering
• Bachelor of Commerce
• Bachelor of Environments
• Bachelor of Music
• Bachelor of Science.
• Studying overseas
• New and inviting buildings and spaces.
12
Each New Generation degree includes the
following features:
Disciplinary depth
You will graduate with deep, detailed
knowledge in at least one specific
discipline
(a major), gained through a set of subjects
from first through to third year.
OTHER UNDERGRADUATE degrees
In addition to the New Generation degrees on
offer, the University will be selecting students
for entry into the following continuing
undergraduate degrees in 2011:
• Bachelor of Agriculture
• Bachelor of Dance
• Bachelor of Dramatic Art
Breadth studies
• Bachelor of Film and Television
Breadth studies are one of the most
exciting aspects of the New Generation
degrees, allowing you to choose 25%
of your subjects from areas outside the
core disciplines of your degree. You will
have the chance to develop different
skills, expand your knowledge, learn
complementary ways of thinking about
issues and problems, and challenge your
ideas.
• Bachelor of Fine Art
Knowledge transfer
Knowledge transfer indicates the two-way
flow and uptake of ideas between the
University of Melbourne and the broader
community. You will have opportunities
to connect with the community and
employers in many different ways:
• Through field trips and project-based
learning
• Lectures with industry experts
• Internships and placements
• Mentoring schemes linking students
with professionals
• Bachelor of Music Performance*
• Bachelor of Oral Health
• Bachelor of Production
• Associate Degree in Environmental
Horticulture.
* 2011 course offering to be confirmed.
The Melbourne
Experience
Capstone experience
Towards the end of your New Generation
degree, you will have an opportunity to
engage in a capstone experience that
draws together your undergraduate
education and prepares you for life
as a graduate. This may involve work
experience, a research project, input from
an industry practitioner or a coursework
subject outlining business best practice.
At the completion of your undergraduate degree,
you can continue your studies in one of the
exciting professional graduate degrees offered
by our new graduate schools. These include a
new range of coursework graduate professional
entry degrees that will qualify you for professions
in architecture, accounting, dentistry, education,
engineering, law, or medical practice. In fact, the
University of Melbourne provides over 340 different
graduate degrees from which you can choose.
Graduate qualifications are well regarded by
prospective employers, giving you an edge over
other candidates and the opportunity to attract
higher salaries.
For more information about graduate study, see
the 'Life After Melbourne' section on page 23 and

A first year student’s advice to others
Are you heading overseas for
higher education? Then here’s
my perspective!
As a student coming from a foreign
country, walking around in a new city
you are initially overwhelmed with the
surroundings. It takes a while to adjust to
the settings and the whole situation is an
experience on its own.
As a student researching universities,
what attracted me to Melbourne
University was its rich history (for an
Australian university), its base campus
surroundings and most importantly its
recognition in Australia.
16
If you or members of your family wish to work
while you are studying, you must hold a visa
with permission to work. Since 26 April 2008, all
student visas automatically include permission to
work which allows you to work for a maximum
of 20 hours per week while your course is in
session and unlimited hours during periods of
vacation. Usually courses are in session from
the first day of semester until the last day of the
examination period. Work restrictions vary for
family members on student visas.
The University’s Children on Campus policy
aims to create a work and study environment
that is family-friendly and free from direct or
indirect discrimination.

Work while studying
The courses at the University of
Melbourne allow for a breadth subject
each semester and this, in my opinion, is
a vital factor for future employment. It is
well known that straight after high school
many (like myself) have very limited
knowledge on what career to pursue. The
breadth subjects give a greater flexibility
within the course as well as expanding
one’s horizon. I am studying a Bachelor
of Science degree with Micro and Macro
Economics as my breadth subjects for
first year studies.
year of university. College hosts its own
entertainment events and reiterates the
importance of enjoying the university
part of a student’s life. Studies are at the
forefront of their goals and an average
of 65% has to be maintained to remain
a resident. So far I’ve taken part in many
college activities, such as the College
1st cricket team, Aussie footy and I was
an Orientation leader at the start of the
second semester. The experience has
helped to improve my leadership skills
and given me organisational experience.
University study in general is more
independent and is different from
the style of study undertaken in high
school. A lot more self studying and self
discipline is involved. This would be a
change to many who depended heavily
on tuition and therefore it is advisable to
start being more independent to better
adjust to the transition.
Participation is a vital factor. You can
start networking if you accept a place
at Melbourne Uni before you leave by
logging into the following website:

My experience at university has been
memorable so far. I have had the
privilege of staying at Ormond College
and this has made my first year even
more enjoyable – living with 300 other
students. The experience at college has
been very special. College is a more
expensive form of living but I would
recommend it, especially for the first
In conclusion, it is important that you
keep studies as your main priority and

Agriculture innovation
at Dookie campus
Students enrolled in the Bachelor
of Agriculture develop their skills
combining the strengths of two
campuses – Parkville and Dookie.
The Dookie campus is the main location
for the significant Farms Rivers and
Markets Project developed by Uniwater
(with funding bodies – National Water
Commission and Victorian Water Trust)
and utilises the surrounding Broken River
in Victoria’s food bowl, to develop new
methods of doing more with less water.
The Project will establish a worldclass demonstrator of efficient and
profitable farming systems, and will
be an invaluable resource for future
generations, providing data on the
relationships between climate, resource
use, production and environment.
Agriculture students will be exposed to
this work and have the opportunity to
participate in many of the activities as
part of their industry project.

starting
point of my
adulthood life:
learning to live
independently
and facing the
world on my own
for the first time.
Honours

The highlight of my experience here
is meeting new friends and exploring
foreign cultures, while also reuniting
with old friends.
I have always had a passion for
Japanese culture and language.
I started learning Japanese in first
year. By the time I started second
year, I began taking extra classes
outside to expand my knowledge.
I’m now in an exchange program in
Japan (at Sophia University, Tokyo)
and my fascination with the country
still continues.

in high quality productions at the Faculty of
the VCA and Music will provide you with the
experience of a professional dance environment.
Subjects in the Bachelor of Dance are
sequenced to enable you to progress and
to develop technically and artistically. In first
and second year, you are introduced to new
dance science information which is integrated
throughout the course to inform your emerging
dance practice. By third year, there is greater
48
emphasis on developing artistic autonomy.
Daily contemporary dance and ballet classes
continue, followed by afternoon rehearsals.
As a Bachelor of Dance student you also
undertake subjects through the Centre for Ideas.
The common curriculum is a cross-disciplinary
sequence of subjects (studied by students in
dance, theatre, production, film and television
and fine art), examining the interaction between
art, politics, culture and society. The close
relationship between intensive specialist dance
training and critical studies aims to produce
dancers who are not only highly technically and
artistically skilled but also culturally literate.
Throughout the course, you will be exposed
to the work of professional choreographers,
engaging collaboratively with them in
making new work for your productions. You
are encouraged to seek secondments with
professional companies during the course. The
Faculty of the VCA and Music has close links
with choreographers and practitioners in the
dance industry and a strong exchange program
with overseas institutions.
The Bachelor of Dance selection
process involves an audition, plus
an interview for selected applicants.
Auditions are held in September/
October; visit the website for dates

‘‘
I was in my final year of a JazzMusical Theatre course at the AHK
Theater School in Amsterdam when
I decided I wanted to develop myself
more as a contemporary dancer
and I wanted to travel. When I found
the VCAM website, the course
description and the pictures made
me very excited about the course. I
applied as a Study Abroad student
for only one semester but decided
to stay another semester and after
finishing the year, I decided again to
extend my stay till my graduation.
The level of teaching is very high in
dance at VCAM and I have learnt a
huge amount in the last two years.
I think my ultimate highlight has
been the opportunity to work with
incredible, high level Australian
choreographers and performing in
their works.

Course description
The Bachelor of Environments brings together
expertise from a range of disciplines across
the University, to provide leadership in the
study of built and natural environments. It is
the only qualification of its kind in Australia. We
have designed the Bachelor of Environments
to give you a broad understanding of the
issues and challenges that shape diverse
environments, and provide you with the
opportunity to specialise in one field.
The course provides you with a broad
foundation and common understanding of
the social, scientific and technical factors
that shape environments. It brings together
science, design, technology, culture
and economics, presenting you with an
interdisciplinary knowledge of a range of
environments.
You will take eight subjects each year for
three years. In your first year, you take
six subjects from a range of Bachelor of
Environments interdisciplinary subjects
comprising the two core subjects of Natural
Environments and Reshaping Environments,
and four selected according to your interests.
In second and third year, you take nine
subjects that comprise a major. The major
sequence progressively builds a depth of
disciplinary knowledge and culminates in a
capstone subject that uses all the learning you
have gained throughout your major.
In addition to the major subjects in your
chosen discipline, you undertake three
elective subjects from disciplines within the
Bachelor of Environments and six breadth
subjects from disciplines outside of your
chosen area of specialisation. For more
information about breadth studies, see
page 11.
You will work with other students in teams
to turn theory into action and develop skills
in the design, production and management
of environments; and you will engage with
real-world problems through design studios,
field trips, laboratory sessions, site visits and
workshops.

Honours
• Drawing
The Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) is a more
advanced and specialised course of study
requiring a higher standard of performance
than the pass degree. Students undertake a
major studio project supported by a research
paper. Major areas of study may be chosen
from: drawing, printmaking, painting,
photography, and sculpture and spatial practice.
• Printmaking
• Painting
• Photography
• Sculpture and spatial practice.
Career outcomes
The major function of the Bachelor of Fine
Art is to prepare you for a career as an art
practitioner. As visual artists usually work
independently as self-employed individuals,
their achievement is normally measured by
the quality of their artistic output, critical
reaction to their public exhibitions and their
contribution to cultural life.
Many graduates support their studio activity
through part-time employment while others
obtain full-time art-related employment. Art
education has been a major employer – in
universities through to specialist secondary
art teaching. Usually this option requires
graduate study in teaching.
An education in the visual arts usually
produces people who are creative, flexible
and able to adapt specific skills to occupations
with a visual or aesthetic component. Past
graduates have established satisfying careers
in museums, galleries and community arts
centres, in occupational therapy, in ceramics
or photography studios, art packaging and
transportation, as art advisers to corporate
and government bodies, in film, television
and theatre, in art materials supplies and as
managers or coordinators of art or cultural
events.

‘‘
Studying sculpture at VCAM, I find
the staff very helpful and supportive
because they are specialised in their
own field. While having a base of my
own in the sculpture department, I
am still able to talk and collaborate
with other art students and students
outside of the art school including
drama, dance and film, which I find is
a great opportunity to share different
views and learn from each other.
The highlight of my experience so
far has been the sculpture group
exhibition – it was arranged with
a lot of enthusiasm and teamwork
using sand as the only material.
I was amazed by the outcome of
our collaboration and am looking
forward to the next one.

inspired when we successfully treat
a patient.
Dental hygienists provide dental care for all
age groups; examine and record the nature and
severity of periodontal conditions; and clean,
scale and root-plane teeth. Both therapists and
hygienists undertake oral health promotion;
a range of orthodontic and preventive
procedures, including impressions, topical

Course description
The Bachelor of Production is designed to
facilitate the development of production
and staging skills in various roles including
set, costume, lighting and sound design,
workshop, wardrobe and stage/production
management. The emphasis is on multiskilling and personal development through
practical experience.
Formal classes for first- and second-year
students are combined with work on
performances and projects. In third year,
your formal classes are at a minimum and
an individual program is negotiated with you,
which can include major stage management,
design and technical theatre assignments
and an industry secondment. Secondments
involve our third-year students working at
a theatre company, film company, dance
company or other suitable organisation or
professional practitioner. The secondment
provides you with an opportunity to test and
develop the skills learnt over the previous two
years within a professional environment.
As a Bachelor of Production student, you
will also undertake subjects through the
Centre for Ideas. The common curriculum
is a cross disciplinary sequence of subjects
studied by all students on the Southbank
campus examining the interaction between
specialist production training with critical
studies aims to produce students who are not
only highly technically and artistically skilled
but also culturally literate.
Studio practice is the key element in
the teaching program in the Bachelor of
Production. You apply knowledge gained in
classes to practical projects generated both
within and beyond the Faculty of the VCA
and Music (VCAM). Given the diverse range
of productions mounted by VCAM (dance,
drama, music theatre, opera, and film as well
as one-off events), you may reasonably expect
to be working on a variety of performance
forms in a range of capacities in any one year.

Honours
• Costume design and making
Honours is available following the successful
completion of the Bachelor of Production
or equivalent. The course builds on
knowledge, experience and skills developed
in the Bachelor of Production in your field
of specialisation (set, costume, lighting and
sound design, or the allied crafts). You will
be assigned at least two major productions
drawn from VCAM’s production schedule
in senior roles as either part of the creative
team, or as a leader in the technical and craft
areas. You will also complete an Honours
research thesis in an area of enquiry
pertaining to your chosen field of study.
• Lighting design and operation
My dream job is to be
a designer/maker and as such, my
favourite subjects are Design and
Workshop. These subjects combine
the creative with the practical;
workshop enables me to learn the
techniques and processes in order
to see my designs go from being on
paper to a three-dimensional form.
• Set design and making
• Sound design and operation
• Stage and production management.
Career outcomes
Graduates of the Bachelor of Production have
a tradition of high employment success.
Graduates demonstrate capacities for artistic
imagination, creativity, transformation and
interpretation. They work at various levels,
both as individuals and as team members,
in a wide variety of visual/performing arts
environments.
Studying at VCAM has increased
my knowledge and skills, and
also developed potential working
relationships for the future with
fellow students. The amount of
practical hands-on experience I
have gained, as well as meeting
like-minded students with a passion
for creativity, have been highlights
of my experience. I feel inspired
when I’m working with people who
have the passion and dedication to
produce something that we, as a
group, can be proud of.
Some examples of graduate destinations
have included work on large scale events,
major festivals, theatre, dance and opera
productions.
You are encouraged to make links with other
Production students as well as students in
other artistic disciplines, as this often leads
to long-term collaborative partnerships.
Most graduates become employed in the
industry on a freelance basis, often initially
in an assistant capacity, in their field of
specialisation.

Course description
The University of Melbourne offers you
psychology as an area of major study that
can be completed alongside other subjects
in a range of undergraduate courses. Course
options provide flexibility so that you can
tailor your study of psychology to your
academic interests. Many students choose
to study psychology to complement another
specialisation since psychology is relevant to
many academic and applied fields.
If you are interested in majoring in psychology,
you need to complete a 125-credit point
sequence (accredited by the Australian
Psychology Accreditation Council) which is
structured around the sequential development
of knowledge.
Research skills are introduced as part of the
first-year subjects and developed across
second and third-year units, contributing to
your broad education as well as preparing
you for graduate studies. In first year, you
will learn to link psychology to your personal
experiences and establish a style of working.
In second year and the advanced studies in third
year, the emphasis will be on linking academic
knowledge to research and practice, both through
research-led teaching and through practical
individual and group research experience.
Third year contains a capstone unit, which will
integrate key features of your earlier studies
and enable to you complete an applied
research project.
You will be able to work collaboratively, linking
psychology to issues in contemporary society;
informed by the research perspective you
have developed in your earlier studies.
Psychology can also be studied as individual
subjects in all of the New Generation
degrees. Arts students, for example, may
choose to combine studies in psychology
and criminology, which provides a strong
background in social and behavioural science
and research methodology. Arts students also
have the flexibility to study a 75-point minor in
psychology.
Science students can opt to study behavioural
neuroscience, which combines study in
the biomedical sciences with psychology
to examine the relationship between brain
function and behaviour.
Commerce students find psychology useful
since it provides them with insights into
areas such as consumer behaviour and
organisational behaviour.

‘‘
I am learning
what it means
to be a
psychologist.
And I am
loving it.
During the first
few months at
Melbourne, I
realised that it
was up to me
whether I was
going to have
a great time studying in Australia or
not. I made an effort to get to know
the people in my course. I ate a meat
pie although I was sure that it would
make me sick! I kept attending the
Behavioural Neuroscience lectures,
although I did not understand a word
my lecturer was saying. Looking
back, it was not easy during the first
few months. But I hung in there. Now
I am having the time of my life.

Concurrent diplomas
Concurrent diplomas offer
you another way to follow a
passion. Available in the areas
of mathematics, languages,
music and informatics, most
diplomas allow you to structure
your study to suit you.
Diplomas allow you many flexible options
– from studying the diploma alongside your
undergraduate degree (and adding a further
year of study) to cross-crediting some of the
study in your undergraduate degree to your
diploma and taking a ‘fast track’ to completion
(potentially completing the diploma in the
same time that it takes to complete the
undergraduate degree).
You can also work with course advisors to
create any combination in between that
suits your needs – the mode of undertaking
the diploma will depend on your particular
circumstances.
If you graduate with a diploma you will have
completed a major in that area of study
which may allow you to continue to graduate
study in the field without holding a related
undergraduate degree.

HOW TO APPLY
Pathways to undergraduate study
There are many different programs which the
University of Melbourne recognises as a pathway
to tertiary studies.
Within Australia
Experiencing what it is like to study in
Australia before commencing tertiary studies
is a good way to be exposed to differences in
ways of teaching and learning. Some of the
most common pathways are:
• Australian secondary schooling – this
provides a sound grounding for tertiary
studies where you are encouraged to
expand your social skills and develop
independent learning styles to help
prepare you for university life. As well as
the Australian Year 12, some secondary
schools may also offer the International
Baccalaureate Diploma program.
• Foundation Programs – these are programs
that have typically been designed in
collaboration with Australian universities
to create a curriculum that provides a
bridge between secondary and tertiary
studies. There are usually multiple intakes
throughout the year of various durations,
depending on your previous academic
qualifications.
Outside of Australia
The University recognises many international
qualifications as pathways into our courses in
addition to the Australian options listed above.
Some of the most common qualifications are:
• Canadian pre-university program
• GCE ‘A’ Levels
Trinity College
Foundation Studies
Trinity College Foundation Studies is a
university preparatory program that qualifies
overseas students for Australian University
entrance. For 20 years, Trinity College
Foundation Studies has helped students
make a successful transition from school
in their home country to the University of
Melbourne and other Australian universities,
by introducing students to the intellectual
and cultural skills necessary for success at a
tertiary level.
Benefits of Trinity College Foundation
Studies include:
• Guaranteed places at the University of
Melbourne for students who obtain the
required scores

on 2010 tuition fees (as the 2011 tuition fees
have not yet been set at the time of printing),
answers some of these questions.
You will receive detailed fee information and
the fee policy when you are offered a place at
the University of Melbourne.

Example of
calculating fees:
Chen is an international student who enrols
in a Bachelor of Science in 2010. She enrols
in a total of 100 credit points (1 EFTSL),
comprising eight subjects: four science
subjects (12.5 credit points each): two
commerce subjects (12.5 credit subjects
each) and two maths subjects (12.5 credit
points each).
Chen’s tuition fees for 2010 are calculated as:
(4 x 0.125 x A$30 000) +
(2 x 0.125 x A$29 700) +
(2 x 0.125 x A$28 250)
= A$29 487.50.
* 100 credit points (1 EFTSL) represents a standard annual full-time course load.
Will my tuition fees
ever differ from the
published fee?
The subject fees detailed in this publication
relate to 2010 only. These fees are subject to
annual review and may be adjusted to take
into account price and demand factors for
each discipline band.
Other fees
Overseas Student
Health Cover

requires international students to take out
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)

some Swedish students are exempted from
obtaining OSHC.
There are other costs associated with your
studies that you need to consider, including
compulsory Overseas Student Health Cover
(OSHC; see right).
The Commonwealth Government is also
considering the introduction of a Student
Services and Amenities Fee from 2010. The
specific fees payable will be included in your
letter of offer.
international/visas/healthcover
The University requires students to purchase
visa-length OSHC cover at the time of
accepting their offer. This ensures that you are
compliant with the conditions of your student
visa and you have up-to-date health insurance
for the entire duration of your study program.
The University can arrange course-length
cover on your behalf with OSHC Worldcare,
the University’s preferred OSHC provider.

Glossary
A
Assessment: Tasks that must be completed to
demonstrate understanding of a subject. These tasks
are graded and include essays, examinations or
presentations.
Associate degree: A vocationally focused course, which
includes two years of study and work experience. Some
associate degrees articulate to certain undergraduate
degrees.
ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank): Previously
known as ENTER, this is a percentile ranking showing
VCE students’ comparative placement in the VCE that year
on the basis of their VCE results.
B
Bachelor degree: The highest undergraduate award
offered, normally resulting in detailed knowledge of a
particular area. Also known as undergraduate degree.
Breadth studies: See page 11.
C
Capstone subject: A final-year undergraduate subject
incorporating an activity or experience, including an
examination or research project, requiring you to consider
broader themes relevant to your discipline.
Cohort experience: An experience shared with peers
and providing a sense of community and connectedness
throughout your studies and beyond.
Concurrent diploma: A diploma taken at the same time
as an undergraduate degree.
Cross-disciplinary: Subjects that build on crossdisciplinary research and take advantage of the various
areas of expertise in the University.
D
Department: An academic division within a faculty.
A faculty may contain departments that deal with a
particular subject area. For example, the Faculty of
Science contains the Department of Chemistry.
Diploma: Diplomas and advanced diplomas are equivalent
to one year of full-time study in a particular area. Some
diplomas can be undertaken concurrently with an
undergraduate degree (see ‘Concurrent diploma’ above).
E
e-Learning: Coursework delivered by electronic means
and which can be done on demand.
EFTSL (Equivalent Full-Time Student Load): A measure
of study load. One EFTSL is equivalent to 100 credit
points and represents a standard annual full-time load.
Eminent scholars: Professors or researchers who are
known worldwide for their specialist knowledge or
research.
English language requirements: Specific English
requirements that all students must meet before they are
able to receive an offer to study at the University.

provide entry to university study.
106
G
Graduate degree/course: A further degree or course
of study available to students after the completion of an
undergraduate degree. Graduate study is designed for
those who wish to obtain specialist knowledge in an
academic or professional discipline. At the University of
Melbourne, courses defined as graduate include: graduate
certificate, graduate diploma, postgraduate certificate,
postgraduate diploma, masters and doctorates.
Graduate professional entry degree: A graduate
degree introduced under the Melbourne Model that is
professionally accredited and leads to specific career
outcomes. Examples include the Juris Doctor, Master
of Architecture and Master of Education. A graduate
professional entry degree is one where the content of
the course is regulated by a professional organisation
or association outside of the University. If you complete
a specified program of study you are eligible to receive
accreditation or become a member of a professional
group (or be able to do so once you complete graduate
professional experience requirements).
Graduate school: As distinct from schools within
faculties, graduate schools are organisational structures

language requirements.
Interdisciplinary approach: The New Generation
undergraduate degrees will provide a sound major
discipline base while exposing students to a greater
breadth of knowledge across disciplines. Graduates of
these degrees will have generic and interdisciplinary skills
suitable for graduate programs and diverse and changing
workplaces. Some areas of study bring together the
strengths of many and are described as interdisciplinary.
For example, nanotechnology brings together physics,
chemistry and materials engineering.
International alignment: The Melbourne Model (see
pages 10–11) aligns with the best of European and Asian
education practice and North American traditions.

Humanitarian Visa.
K
Knowledge transfer: In relation to the Melbourne Model
(see pages 10–11), the New Generation undergraduate
degrees will have a greater emphasis on engagement
with industry and the community and additional
opportunities for international experience. See page 70 for
more information.
L
Lecture: Large formal classes in which lecturers present
course material to all students enrolled in a given subject.
(Compare with ‘tutorial’.)
M
Major: A sequence of subjects undertaken within an
undergraduate degree that, when put together, form a

Melbourne Model: See pages 10–11 and 24–25.
N
New Generation undergraduate degree: The six
undergraduate degrees introduced in 2008 under the
Melbourne Model are: Arts, Biomedicine, Commerce,
Environments, Music and Science. These three-year
undergraduate degrees offer pathways into employment,

degrees. The New Generation undergraduate degrees
aim to produce graduates who are academically excellent,
knowledgeable across disciplines, leaders in professions
and communities, fluent between cultures, and active
global citizens.
Nobel laureates: Winners of the Nobel Prize, the world’s
most prestigious research award.
Non-teaching period: Period of time during the university
semester when there are no classes.
O
Online education: Web- or internet-based education.
OSHC Overseas Student Health Cover: Compulsory
health insurance which international students must
hold for the full duration of their course to meet the
requirements of their student visa.
P

obtains Australian PR status either before commencing
or while enrolled at the University, they must notify
the University immediately, as they cease to be an
international student and become an Australian student.
Points: Courses and subjects are given points values at
the University of Melbourne. For example, a Bachelor
of Arts student will need to successfully complete 300
points of subjects to be awarded the degree. Subjects are
often 12.5 points (one quarter of a semester) or 25 points
(half a semester) in value.
Postgraduate degree/course: See graduate degree/course.
Prerequisite: Subjects that must be completed before
commencing a particular course.
R
Research exposure: As is currently the case, students in
the New Generation undergraduate degrees experience
research-led teaching, with the opportunity to work with
and be inspired by the world’s top researchers. This
includes a research project in the final year of their degree.
S
Selection: A process by which the University makes a
decision regarding the outcome of an application for entry
to the University.

Specialisation: See Major.
Student Centre: A single location providing a wide range
of student services. They also provide a setting for either
group or individual learning with access to collaborative,
social learning spaces supported by a flexible IT
environment.
T
Teaching methodologies: Varied methods of teaching to
assist you in achieving the best learning outcomes.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): An
international English language test recognised by the
University as meeting its English language requirements.
Transition program: The Transition program, including
Orientation programs, assists first-year students in
adjusting to life at university and contributes to the
enhancement of academic and life skills.
Tutorial (‘tute’): Small classes in which material from
lectures and readings can be discussed in detail. Compare
with ‘Lecture’.
Typical course fee: Typical course fees have been
calculated to give future students an idea of likely tuition
fees. These fees are based on the current discipline fee
bands and average enrolments of past students in that
course. Actual tuition fees payable are based on the
particular subjects studied.
U
Undergraduate degree/course: A first course at
university. Courses vary in length. At the University of
Melbourne, courses defined as undergraduate include
undergraduate degrees, undergraduate degrees
(Honours), advanced diplomas and concurrent diplomas.
