Welcome from the<br />
Vice-Chancellor<br />
The University of Melbourne is a leading<br />
international university with a tradition<br />
of excellence underpinned by our core<br />
values of quality education, research and<br />
knowledge transfer. Our graduates are<br />
prominent in political, cultural, academic<br />
and business arenas throughout the world.<br />
High-profile employers from Australia and<br />
overseas actively recruit our graduates who<br />
stand out for their problem-solving skills,<br />
capacity for independent critical thought,<br />
and leadership potential. A number of<br />
significant business and political figures<br />
from the Asia Pacific region have l<strong>au</strong>nched<br />
their careers from Melbourne. Others hold<br />
prominent positions in Australia’s political,<br />
business and cultural sectors and include<br />
two former Australian Prime Ministers and<br />
two Nobel L<strong>au</strong>reates.<br />
Melbourne prides itself on its capacity to<br />
respond to the evolving challenges and<br />
opportunities presented by a sometimes<br />
unpredictable global environment. This is<br />
demonstrated by the development of the<br />
Melbourne Model, a curriculum reform<br />
introduced in 2008, now well established and<br />
providing all our stude<strong>nts</strong> with the benefits of<br />
a distinctive ‘Melbourne Experience’.<br />
Our undergraduate degrees offer academic<br />
breadth and disciplinary depth, providing<br />
a solid foundation for life-long learning.<br />
Designed to equip stude<strong>nts</strong> with skills<br />
immediately applicable to the workforce,<br />
they also provide preparation for research<br />
and further study in our wide range of<br />
graduate programs for more specialised<br />
careers.<br />
Crucially for international stude<strong>nts</strong>, a<br />
comprehensive range of student support<br />
services is in place to provide continuing<br />
support in the areas of housing and<br />
accommodation, student financial aid,<br />
career and health services, counselling and<br />
language and learning skills.<br />
Melbourne offers advanced educational<br />
technologies, a dedicated and outstanding<br />
teaching staff and a vibrant campus<br />
close to the city centre. New learning<br />
spaces, first-class study options including<br />
internships, mentorship programs and<br />
research projects mean you can be assured<br />
of a broad and enriching study experience.<br />
Diversity is valued at Melbourne,<br />
multiculturalism is celebrated, and the<br />
integrity of the individual is respected. You<br />
will join stude<strong>nts</strong> from over 100 countries,<br />
the best and brightest from many different<br />
backgrounds.<br />
Beginning your tertiary education is an<br />
exciting and challenging time. I invite you<br />
to consider the University of Melbourne as<br />
your first choice for undergraduate study,<br />
confident it will provide a wonderful platform<br />
to l<strong>au</strong>nch the next stage of your life.<br />

The City of<br />
Melbourne<br />
The University is located in the inner-city<br />
suburb of Carlton and is only a short walk<br />
or tram ride from Melbourne’s city centre.<br />
Australia’s second-largest and most<br />
cosmopolitan city, Melbourne is home to<br />
people from over 100 nations. Accredited<br />
as one of the world’s most liveable cities Q,<br />
Melbourne was also re-designated a<br />
Safe Community by the World Health<br />
Organization in 2006, and remains the only<br />
Australian capital city to achieve this status.<br />
You can feel confident and relaxed whether<br />
you are walking the streets, travelling on<br />
public transport, shopping or eating with<br />
friends. The city is serviced by a convenient<br />
public transport system which links all its<br />
major sites in a network of trams, trains and<br />
buses.<br />
Proudly pre-eminent in business, international<br />
trade, arts, entertainment, sport and major<br />
international eve<strong>nts</strong>, Melbourne’s city<br />
centre is home to around 71 000 people<br />
and welcomes more than 710 000 workers,<br />
visitors and tourists every day. The greater<br />
Melbourne population is 3.6 million.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
With more than 30 tertiary institutions within<br />
the city, there is a large student population<br />
that lives, studies, works and plays in<br />
inner Melbourne. The city has the largest<br />
percentage of international stude<strong>nts</strong> in the<br />
country, greatly enhancing the diversity<br />
of the student population. Of the 70 000<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> studying in the city, 25 per cent<br />
also live here. The most popular suburbs for<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> are Carlton, the Central Business<br />
District (CBD), Parkville and neighbouring<br />
suburbs. Stude<strong>nts</strong> are attracted to these<br />
locations bec<strong>au</strong>se of the proximity to<br />
educational institutions, the range of<br />
rest<strong>au</strong>ra<strong>nts</strong> and cafes and the many social,<br />
sporting and cultural activities on offer.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> are often young adults, aged<br />
20-35 years of age, who thrive on engaging<br />
in the experiences and opportunities<br />
available in Melbourne.<br />
Sport, arts and entertainment<br />
Melbourne is home to Australia’s largest<br />
entertainment precinct, located near the<br />
Yarra River. It includes the National Gallery<br />
of Victoria, the acclaimed Victorian Arts<br />
Centre, the Melbourne Theatre Company,<br />
the Australian Ballet, the Victorian College<br />
of the Arts, the Australian Opera, Playbox<br />

Corporation, Melbourne Symphony<br />
Orchestra and Federation Square.<br />
Melbourne is also well known for the range<br />
and quality of food and cuisine available in<br />
its rest<strong>au</strong>ra<strong>nts</strong>, cafes and markets. Many<br />
be<strong>au</strong>tiful parks and gardens add another<br />
dimension to the attractions of the city.<br />
The city hosts many major sporting,<br />
recreational and cultural eve<strong>nts</strong> throughout<br />
the year, such as the Australian Tennis<br />
Open, the Melbourne <strong>International</strong> Comedy<br />
Festival, Melbourne <strong>International</strong> Arts<br />

the Melbourne Cup.<br />
Melbourne is a great place to live and study.<br />

“I find Melbourne<br />
full of fascinating<br />

architectural styles;<br />
and the blend of<br />
people. Melbourne<br />

<strong>Undergraduate</strong> Study<br />
New Generation Degrees:<br />
Bachelor of Arts, Biomedicine,<br />
Commerce, Environme<strong>nts</strong>,<br />
Music, Science<br />
Under the Melbourne Model,<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> studying a new<br />
generation undergraduate degree<br />
complete a major in a particular<br />
discipline together with breadth<br />
subjects from outside their core<br />
program. Breadth subjects<br />
along with the opportunity for<br />
internships, study abroad and<br />
participation in industry projects<br />
offer stude<strong>nts</strong> the chance to<br />
explore a range of interests<br />
before committing to a particular<br />
career path.<br />
The depth component (the completion of<br />
a major in at least one discipline) comprises<br />
a sequence of one or two subjects in first<br />
year, usually three subjects in second<br />
year and four subjects in third year – the<br />
equivalent of approximately one-third of<br />
your new generation degree.<br />
The breadth component enables stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
to choose 25 per cent of their subjects from<br />
other disciplines in order to develop an<br />
understanding and appreciation of fields<br />
of study and disciplines that contrast with,<br />
yet complement, their core disciplinary<br />
studies and majors. The breadth subject<br />
‘Global Health Security and Sustainability’<br />
for example, features eminent speakers<br />
from a range of academic disciplines to<br />
provide stude<strong>nts</strong> with diverse approaches to<br />
examining, understanding and addressing<br />
old and new threats to health, human<br />
security and sustainability.<br />
The knowledge transfer component<br />
provides opportunities for stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
to connect with the community and<br />
employers in many different ways: through<br />
field trips and project-based learning,<br />
through lectures with industry experts,<br />

The Melbourne Graduate is:<br />
>>Academically excellent<br />
>>Knowledgeable across disciplines<br />
>>An active global citizen<br />
>>A leader in the community<br />
>>Attuned to cultural diversity.<br />
At Melbourne we are committed to training<br />
our stude<strong>nts</strong> to become strong leaders<br />
in their chosen industries. We asked<br />
our international graduates which skills<br />
they valued most from their University of<br />
Melbourne qualification.<br />
A strong majority felt<br />
Melbourne had given them:<br />
>>The ability to engage in self-directed<br />
learning<br />
>>Intellectual integrity<br />
>>Advanced analytic and problem-solving<br />
skills.<br />
Our international graduates tell us that<br />
their University of Melbourne qualification<br />
gave them the confidence to aim high and<br />
approach their ideal employers in their<br />
chosen fields. A majority of them (70%)<br />
feel that their career achieveme<strong>nts</strong> after<br />
graduation have matched or exceeded their<br />
expectations.<br />
Many of our international stude<strong>nts</strong> move<br />
into an employment position more closely<br />
aligned with their career goals as a result of<br />
gaining a Melbourne qualification.<br />
>>Most of our international stude<strong>nts</strong> secure<br />
their desired position within a few months<br />
of completing their course. In fact, some<br />
of our stude<strong>nts</strong> find a graduate position<br />
while they are still completing their course<br />
>>Close to half of our international graduates<br />
directly supervise staff, with most of these<br />
graduates supervising up to 10 other<br />
employees<br />
>>One in five Melbourne international<br />
graduates supervise between 10 and 50+<br />
employees<br />
>>The number of international stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
entering work at management level or<br />
senior executive level is increasing (5%<br />
increase in 2007).<br />
Most of our international<br />
graduates work in:<br />
>>Business services, including trade,<br />
scientific research, technical services,<br />
computer services, legal and accounting<br />
services, consultancy, marketing and<br />
business management<br />
>>Health and community services, including<br />
hospitals, medical and dental services<br />
>>Education<br />
>>Finance and insurance<br />
>>Communication, IT and<br />

>>Private companies or government<br />
bodies, with the majority working in large,<br />
established, global organisations.<br />

Depth<br />
Developing a specialisation<br />
The New Generation Bachelor of Arts<br />
degree is designed to give you disciplinespecific<br />
knowledge and develop new ways<br />
of thinking by exposing you to a diverse<br />
range of perspectives. To complement the<br />
principles of the Melbourne Model, we have<br />
developed a range of eight new first-year<br />
interdisciplinary foundation subjects that<br />
draw on a variety of different areas of study<br />
within Arts.<br />
Our new interdisciplinary foundation<br />
subjects will enable you to explore core<br />
ideas across our vast range of disciplines<br />
in your first year, assisting you in making<br />
an informed decision regarding your<br />
specialisation or study major at secondand<br />
third-year level. Through studying Arts<br />
interdisciplinary foundation subjects you will<br />
be part of a common first-year Arts learning<br />
community and benefit from our interactive<br />
online learning environment, forums and<br />
discussion groups.<br />

Breadth<br />
Developing knowledge across<br />
disciplines<br />
The breadth component of a Melbourne<br />
BA means that stude<strong>nts</strong> need to study a<br />
quarter of their degree (six subjects, a total<br />
of 75 poi<strong>nts</strong>) outside the core program<br />
and outside the Faculty of Arts. While<br />
an Arts degree guarantees an in-depth<br />
understanding of your chosen discipline,<br />
the breadth component ensures a wider<br />
breadth of understanding. Breadth subjects<br />
will enable you to tap other bodies of<br />
knowledge and methods of enquiry, and to<br />
develop personal and professional skills.<br />

Stude<strong>nts</strong> can choose subjects from a wide<br />
variety of disciplines including speciallydeveloped<br />
University Breadth Subjects<br />
that provide a multidisciplinary approach<br />
to teaching and learning from across the<br />
humanities, social sciences and sciences.<br />
Arts stude<strong>nts</strong> can choose from Universitywide<br />
breadth subjects or breadth subjects<br />
from other disciplines. Stude<strong>nts</strong> from other<br />
disciplines should consider choosing Arts<br />
subjects as breadth subjects as this will<br />
enhance future career options in the global<br />
knowledge era. This is a future where<br />
technologies keep changing; knowledge<br />
is renewed and extended rapidly; and<br />
innovative and professional work relies on<br />
an international outlook, and the ability<br />
to collaborate across wide and diverse<br />
networks.<br />
To succeed and make lasting contributions,<br />
tomorrow’s leaders will be those who<br />
can appreciate and orchestrate the<br />
efforts of experts from many different<br />
fields, stay current with new technologies<br />
and be attuned to different cultures and<br />
contexts. Employers have endorsed the<br />
Melbourne Model approach, explaining<br />
that while graduates still require a profound<br />
understanding of their discipline, they must<br />
appreciate the broader context in which<br />
their skills will be employed and be ready<br />
to apply their knowledge to an increasingly<br />
wide range of situations.<br />

Knowledge transfer<br />
Connecting with other stude<strong>nts</strong>,<br />
industry, the community<br />
Knowledge transfer is the two-way flow of<br />
ideas between the University of Melbourne<br />
and the broader community. It is the third<br />
strand of the University’s Growing Esteem<br />
strategy (alongside research and teaching<br />
and learning), and is underpinned by three<br />
principles:<br />
1. Knowledge Transfer creates intellectual<br />
capital in ways that mutually benefit the<br />
University and its external partners.<br />
2. Knowledge Transfer is linked to the<br />
University’s teaching and research activities.<br />
3. Knowledge Transfer is a response to<br />
global, social, economic, environmental<br />
and cultural issues.<br />
The Faculty of Arts is committed to projects<br />
based on engagement, exchange and<br />
partnership with the non-academic sectors<br />
in the community and direct links to<br />
teaching, learning and research.<br />
The Faculty of Arts consistently attracts<br />
significant research income from local<br />
and international sources, industry and<br />
government. Research partnerships in the<br />
humanities, languages and social sciences<br />
span numerous disciplinary fields, with<br />
projects as diverse as Darwinism and<br />
visual cultures, network governance and<br />
welfare policies, and resettling migra<strong>nts</strong><br />
and refugees in rural Victoria. Holding<br />
these varied projects together involves a<br />
commitment to building research networks<br />
in external organisations.<br />
Research partnerships enable innovative<br />
ways to archive and communicate<br />
research, leading to real change in external<br />
organisations as they work to find better<br />
ways of serving clie<strong>nts</strong> and stakeholders.<br />
Capstone activities<br />
Drawing it all together<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> undertaking a new generation<br />
degree will need to undertake a capstone<br />
subject as part of their major in their final<br />
year. A capstone subject incorporates<br />
an activity or experience, including an<br />
examination or research project, which<br />
requires stude<strong>nts</strong> to consider broader<br />
themes relevant to their discipline.<br />
The capstone experience consolidates the<br />
content and skills acquisition compone<strong>nts</strong><br />
of a student’s major area of study,<br />
and encourages them to apply those<br />
achieveme<strong>nts</strong> both within the capstone<br />
experience itself, and later when they<br />
have graduated to further their study or<br />
professional career.<br />
Some examples of our capstone subjects<br />
are:<br />
Anthropology and Social Theory:<br />
Engaging the World: Theory & Anthropology<br />
Art History: Art History in Practice<br />

Bachelor of Arts<br />
(Media and Communications)<br />
Mayuca is completing a<br />
Bachelor of Arts (Media and<br />
Communications) and her<br />
dream job is to become a<br />
publicist for a movie star. Her<br />
favourite subjects are History<br />
and Journalism.<br />
For Mayuca, the best and most surprising<br />
thing about studying at Melbourne is the<br />
freedom she has had to learn about herself:<br />
her likes and dislikes, what she wa<strong>nts</strong> out<br />
of life.<br />
“The highlight of my experience at<br />
Melbourne was being able to write my<br />
thesis on whatever I like,” Mayuca said.<br />
During the first few months at Melbourne,<br />
Mayuca said she settled into the new culture<br />
very easily, thanks to the good friends she<br />
made in college. When she completes<br />
her degree, Mayuca plans to spend some<br />
time with her family in Sri Lanka and then<br />

Jun Wei is a member of<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> in Free Enterprise<br />
(SIFE) Australia, which<br />
runs a range of programs<br />
challenging stude<strong>nts</strong> to<br />
apply what they learn in the<br />
classroom to real‐life situations<br />
to benefit their communities.<br />
The Enviroselect program<br />
places stude<strong>nts</strong> into a team<br />
setting to provide solutions to<br />
environmental problems faced<br />
by small business.<br />
“One of the main reasons I wanted to join<br />
SIFE is that I wanted to meet and integrate<br />
with locals, mix with a different crowd.<br />
It’s been going really well, it really unites<br />
people,” Jun Wei said.<br />
“Our project managers are brilliant and very<br />
inspiring.<br />
“I’ve learnt so much from them and my<br />
team-mates as well.<br />
“Enviroselect is all about encouraging small<br />
businesses to act in a more sustainable<br />
manner and what we do is educate the<br />
general public about what these companies<br />
are doing – thereby encouraging the public<br />
to make a sustainable choice.<br />
“Small businesses sign up to our program<br />
and then we conduct an environmental<br />
<strong>au</strong>dit, and based on the data we collect<br />
we identify problem areas which can be<br />
improved on and give suggestions and<br />
recommendations,” Jun Wei said.<br />
“So far we have worked with small<br />
businesses and cafes, but we’re expanding<br />
into the city next semester.<br />
“We’ve had environmental <strong>au</strong>diting<br />
training from a professional consultancy<br />
organisation, Green Steps.”<br />
Jun Wei worked with three other stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
in a consultative project with a café on<br />
campus at the University to minimise the<br />
business’s impact on the environment. As<br />
a result of the project, the café now offers a<br />
20c cheaper coffee to customers who bring<br />
their own mug, thereby reducing the amount<br />
of paper cup waste, providing a cost benefit<br />
to the customers and raising awareness<br />
about the small, everyday actions that can<br />
make a difference to the environment.<br />
“We educate the public, we give<br />
recommendations, and hopefully we see<br />
change,” Jun Wei said.<br />

Depth<br />
Developing a specialisation<br />
The flexible structure of the Bachelor of<br />
Commerce exposes you to a wide variety of<br />
business disciplines before you are required<br />
to choose a major. In most cases, you can<br />
wait to choose your major until the beginning<br />
of your second year W, or start focusing on<br />
a particular discipline at the beginning of<br />
your degree. Depending on subject choices,<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> can major in two disciplines.<br />
Majors in the Bachelor of Commerce include:<br />
>>accounting<br />
>>actuarial studies<br />
>>business<br />
>>economics<br />
>>finance<br />
>>management<br />
>>marketing.<br />
W Stude<strong>nts</strong> pursuing actuarial studies or accounting are<br />
required to choose specific subjects from the first year.<br />
Importantly, the structure of the Bachelor<br />
of Commerce allows you to meet the<br />
accreditation requireme<strong>nts</strong> specified by<br />
accounting and actuarial professional<br />
bodies.<br />
Breadth<br />
Developing knowledge across<br />
disciplines<br />
At least one quarter, and up to a third<br />
(six to eight subjects) of the Bachelor of<br />
Commerce degree must be taken from<br />
a diverse range of breadth disciplines.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> can choose breadth subjects from<br />
education, music, psychology, engineering<br />
and many other disciplines. There are<br />
specific breadth requireme<strong>nts</strong> for stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
pursuing professional accreditation in<br />
accounting and actuarial studies.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> can choose subjects from a wide<br />
variety of disciplines including speciallydeveloped<br />
University Breadth Subjects<br />
that provide a multidisciplinary approach<br />
to teaching and learning from across the<br />
humanities, social sciences and sciences.<br />
There are also specific breadth sequences<br />
that lead to graduate study, such as<br />
engineering and psychology.<br />
Engineering breadth sequences<br />
Bachelor of Commerce stude<strong>nts</strong> may<br />
choose one of the approved Engineering<br />
sequences, and study a minimum of<br />
eight Engineering subjects in the breadth<br />
component. These sequences are the<br />
approved pathway to the provisionally<br />
professionally accredited, two-year Master<br />
of Engineering.<br />
Please note: Commerce stude<strong>nts</strong> pursuing<br />
professional accreditation in accounting<br />
or actuarial studies cannot complete an<br />
approved Engineering sequence owing to<br />
the subject requireme<strong>nts</strong> of their chosen<br />
discipline. There is a three-year provisionally<br />
professionally accredited Master of<br />
Engineering available to stude<strong>nts</strong> who have<br />
completed a specified level of mathematics<br />
in their undergraduate degree.<br />
For details on these Engineering<br />
specialisations and graduate pathways,<br />
please see www.eng.unimelb.edu.<strong>au</strong><br />
Psychology breadth sequence<br />
Commerce stude<strong>nts</strong> can study a 125-point<br />
sequence (equivalent to 10 subjects) in<br />
psychology, accredited by the Australian<br />
Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).<br />
See www.psych.unimelb.edu.<strong>au</strong>.<br />

Knowledge transfer<br />
Connecting with other stude<strong>nts</strong>,<br />
industry and the community<br />
Throughout your studies, you may be<br />
exposed to different knowledge transfer<br />
opportunities in the classroom. Many of our<br />
lecturers bring a practical industry-based<br />
project into the classroom, such as:<br />
Consumer Behaviour and Proctor & Gamble<br />
Lecturer Dr Elison Lim challenged stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
to arrive at a solution that addressed<br />
specific existing concerns facing the Hair<br />
Care Marketing Team at Proctor & Gamble,<br />
Australia. The project counted for 30% of<br />
the overall subject assessment, and the<br />
top three student teams presented their<br />
research findings and recommendations<br />
to a panel of judges comprising<br />
academic staff and key Proctor & Gamble<br />
representatives.<br />
“This is what knowledge transfer is all about.<br />
A dialogue between our stude<strong>nts</strong> and one<br />
of the world’s largest companies, Proctor &<br />
Gamble, with our stude<strong>nts</strong> drawing on their<br />
knowledge and what they have learnt in the<br />
subject to provide some direct assistance<br />
towards P&G. At the University of Melbourne<br />
we want to see ourselves as an institution<br />
that can help change the real world and I<br />
think that is what we’re doing today”.<br />
Professor Greg Whitwell,<br />
Associate Dean for Academic Programs<br />
Managing in Contemporary Organisations<br />
and Sony Ericsson<br />
As part of the assessment for this subject,<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> formed small teams to submit a<br />
case study analysis on different business<br />
eleme<strong>nts</strong> of Sony Ericsson. At the end<br />
of semester, the three top teams were<br />
invited to present their final case with<br />
an appropriate solution that addressed<br />
one of the limitations of Sony Ericsson’s<br />
move towards a virtual organisation via
23<br />
satellite to Sony Ericsson headquarters<br />
in Stockholm. Lecturer Dr Joeri Mol says<br />
the stude<strong>nts</strong> learnt much from the course,<br />
from the preliminary lectures to the final<br />
presentations, saying, “The fact that these<br />
executives were most impressed with the<br />
quality of the presentations is a testimony to<br />
the talent and skills present in the stude<strong>nts</strong>“.<br />
Capstone activities<br />
Drawing it all together<br />
The Business Practicum offers high<br />
achieving stude<strong>nts</strong> the opportunity to apply<br />
their university learning in a real business<br />
environment, engaging with a business<br />
challenge of genuine strategic importance<br />
to a host organisation. Business Practicum<br />
is a capstone subject, taken in your third<br />
year of study.<br />
You will be required to draw upon multidisciplinary<br />
knowledge, skills and<br />
theory acquired from your previous<br />
studies, working in a team of stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
as consulta<strong>nts</strong> on a project specified by<br />
industry partners.<br />
Teams spend a regular half day at the<br />
participating organisation each week, with<br />
additional appointme<strong>nts</strong> as necessary.<br />
Each team undertakes a structured<br />
business planning or business development<br />
exercise, supported by class work providing<br />
tools, techniques and reporting formats<br />
to produce a professional-standard<br />
report analysing the business challenge<br />
and proposing courses of action for the<br />
organisation’s consideration.<br />
You will learn to work with unstructured and<br />
incomplete information, to develop research<br />
and networks to support their enquiry,<br />
to work successfully in teams, and to<br />
present their findings and seek and receive<br />
constructive feedback in a range of settings.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> have worked with major<br />
organisations such as BHP Billiton and<br />
the Coles Group, Telstra, Australia Post,<br />
Victorian government departme<strong>nts</strong> such<br />
as the Departme<strong>nts</strong> of Innovation, Industry<br />
and Regional Development, Treasury and<br />
Finance, Victoria Police and the Committee<br />
for Melbourne, as well as smaller<br />
manufacturers and financial services<br />
companies.<br />

Undertaking an internship in<br />
his home country gave Indra<br />
Kurniawan the opportunity to<br />
gain practical engineering skills<br />
and industry experience in<br />
Jakarta’s international airport.<br />
Indra says it was a great way<br />
to learn about ‘discipline and<br />
responsibility for tasks’.<br />
“Working at GMF Aero Asia in Indonesia<br />
during my summer break gave me the<br />
opportunity to complete a seven-week<br />
project working on a flight simulation<br />
program. My internship was based in the<br />
engineering division at the international<br />
airport in Jakarta. There were lots of<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> working at the airport at the same<br />
time, but only a few were working on an<br />
ongoing project with practical tasks. I was<br />
given a schedule to achieve a goal with<br />
minimum supervision, and the chance<br />
to be involved in a project that really<br />
interested me. I’m interested in robotics<br />
and new technologies, and this gave me<br />
many new experiences, plus I got to work<br />
independently and adapt to a real working<br />
environment dealing with a lot of people.<br />
From here I want to be involved in the<br />
Sumo Robots project during my final year<br />
of study, and I have been accepted into the<br />
Melbourne School of Engineering’s summer<br />
research program. Beyond that, my goal<br />
is to be a consultant in a role that will allow<br />
me to work with colleagues on maintaining<br />
data and calculations, not just working in<br />
the field.”<br />

Breadth<br />
Knowledge across disciplines<br />
Engineering subjects can be studied as<br />
breadth subjects in other undergraduate<br />
University of Melbourne Degrees. The<br />
breadth component provides you with the<br />
opportunity to choose additional subjects<br />
from outside your major area of study, to<br />
develop other kinds of expertise.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> may undertake engineering<br />
subjects through the ‘breadth’ component<br />
of the Bachelor of Commerce where they<br />
complete between 8-10 subjects in an<br />
engineering stream. In some cases, this<br />
may require additional summer enrolment.<br />

Bachelor of Environme<strong>nts</strong><br />
Daniel has been pleasantly<br />
surprised to discover how<br />
supportive and approachable<br />
his lecturers are. He says<br />
this has a lot to do with the<br />
University’s teaching methods,<br />
which include extra support for<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong>.<br />
“The University’s education system has<br />
provided me with great opportunities to<br />
learn and seek help. I have found this very<br />
enriching - the tutors at the University are so<br />
friendly and so willing to help me overcome<br />
personal issues apart from academic<br />
problems.”<br />
Daniel is majoring in Geomatic Engineering,<br />
and enjoys subjects that relate to<br />
mapping, constructing and reshaping our<br />
environment. “Not only have these subjects<br />
provided knowledge about current built<br />
environme<strong>nts</strong>, but also opportunities to<br />
engage in solving problems around creating<br />
a sustainable future.”<br />
When he isn’t studying, Daniel likes to visit<br />
Melbourne’s markets and Asian grocery<br />
stores; visit the University’s Baillieu Library,<br />
chat with friends at Union House or make<br />
use of the on-campus sports centre. “As<br />
an international student in Melbourne, I<br />
have found my life more challenging and<br />
independent.”<br />

Associate Degree in<br />
Environmental Horticulture<br />
After first studying Landscape<br />
Architecture, Inge Jabara<br />
decided that she wanted to<br />
improve her knowledge of<br />
pla<strong>nts</strong>. Her first choice was to<br />
enrol in the Associate Degree<br />
in Environmental Horticulture<br />
at the University of Melbourne,<br />
due to its highly regarded<br />
reputation in the industry.<br />
Inge enjoys the variety of subjects offered at<br />
the Burnley campus, such as Horticultural<br />
Pla<strong>nts</strong>; Ecology, Soil and Pla<strong>nts</strong>; and<br />
Horticultural Technology, as they are very<br />
engaging and hands on. “I never thought<br />
that I would be involved so heavily in the<br />
practical side of things!”<br />
It is no surprise that Inge considers the<br />
highlights of her course to be growing her<br />
own veggie patch at the field station and<br />
working among the extensive gardens at the<br />
Burnley Campus each day, as she hopes to<br />
run her own business in Garden Design in<br />
the future.<br />
After class Inge enjoys socialising with her<br />
fellow stude<strong>nts</strong> but also “going into the<br />
nursery to check on the progress of my<br />
projects. All sorts of fruit and flowers can be<br />
found in the nursery throughout the year”.<br />
Inge is heavily involved with the Burnley<br />
Student Association, which organises<br />
BBQs and eve<strong>nts</strong> for the stude<strong>nts</strong> at the<br />
Burnley Campus and in her downtime, seeks<br />
inspiration at open gardens, by visiting<br />
nurseries or just walking around campus.<br />
“I am very proud to say that I have studied at<br />
the University of Melbourne. I found it to be<br />
a very exciting place, full of things to learn.<br />
There is something for everyone in this<br />
course from gardening, to changing the oil<br />
in a tractor, to learning how to organise and<br />
develop your own horticulture business.”<br />

Bachelor of Biomedicine<br />

Tina Thorburn is a first-year<br />
student in the Bachelor of<br />
Biomedicine. She will travel to<br />
Guatemala in 2009 for three<br />
weeks’ volunteer work with<br />
the Global Vision <strong>International</strong><br />
program, which builds better<br />
communities.<br />
“The Melbourne Model really appealed<br />
bec<strong>au</strong>se at 17 years of age, I wasn’t sure<br />
that I wanted to do Medicine. I’m more<br />
certain now. It’s a really good system, it<br />
allows you to open your mind and make a<br />
choice later.<br />
My grandpare<strong>nts</strong> in the States couldn’t<br />
understand why you’d go straight into<br />
six years of Medicine without doing<br />
undergraduate study. So they supported me<br />
coming here.”<br />
At present, Tina’s favourite subjects are<br />
in biology, but she also enjoys the break<br />
from science that her history ‘breadth’<br />
subjects provide. Tina’s dream job is to be<br />
a surgeon.<br />
“I chose the Bachelor of Biomedicine<br />
bec<strong>au</strong>se I was originally inspired by<br />
volunteer work I was involved in at hospitals<br />
in the UK (I went to boarding school in<br />
Somerset for eight years) – I realised it’s not<br />
all like the television show ER!”<br />
Outside of her studies, Tina enjoys the<br />
social life that the University provides.<br />
“During Semester I live at Ormond College,<br />
which is great socially, especially when I<br />
arrived not knowing anyone. I really enjoy<br />
fencing, and I’ve got the Uni Games coming<br />
up. I’d love to go to the World Cup in Europe<br />
next year.”<br />

Breadth<br />
Knowledge across disciplines<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> can choose subjects from a wide<br />
variety of disciplines including speciallydeveloped<br />
University Breadth Subjects<br />
that provide a multidisciplinary approach<br />
to teaching and learning from across the<br />
humanities, social sciences and sciences.<br />
Biomedicine stude<strong>nts</strong> also take 75 poi<strong>nts</strong><br />
(one quarter of the degree) from other<br />
discipline areas. Breadth subjects may offer<br />
a different focus from core degree studies:<br />
Some will focus on the acquisition of new<br />
skills that complement core studies. For<br />
example, undertake a subject in Philosophy<br />
and Ethics, to provide a context for a major<br />
in Genetics in the Bachelor of Biomedicine.<br />
Some will be interdisciplinary, for example,<br />
the University Breadth Subjects. Many of<br />
these subjects will address the ‘big issues’<br />
facing the world today, such as climate<br />
change, human relationships and the role of<br />
science and technology. Others will provide<br />
an opportunity for study in a completely<br />
new area of interest or the continuation of an<br />
interest developed at school. For example,<br />
you can pursue an interest in languages,<br />
music or psychology while completing the<br />
Bachelor of Biomedicine.<br />

Studies in Psychology<br />
Erlend Kvaale is a third year<br />
Bachelor of Science student,<br />
majoring in Psychology.<br />
His ambition is to pursue a<br />
career that involves some<br />
degree of clinical practice<br />
and some degree of research.<br />
After graduation, he plans to<br />
continue on to Honours and<br />
a Masters or PhD in Clinical<br />
Psychology.<br />
“I am attracted to clinical practice bec<strong>au</strong>se<br />
it is a field where you can see tangible<br />
outcomes of your work in terms of<br />
improving life for distressed individuals. At<br />
the same time, I am attracted to developing<br />
the understanding and treatment of<br />
psychological disorders through research.”<br />
Erlend found himself inspired by subjects<br />
that covered psychological disorders. In<br />
a typical week as a Bachelor of Science<br />
student, he spends around 45 hours a week<br />
studying. “A quarter of this time is spent on<br />
classes and tutorials, and the remaining<br />
three quarters on reading and writing<br />
on topics that are either directly subjectrelevant<br />
or just absorbing to me.”<br />
While Erlend is studying in Melbourne, he<br />
plans to make use of our proximity to Asia<br />
for travel. “I would like to travel while I'm<br />
staying in Australia; Asian cultures and<br />
histories are fascinating.”<br />
During the first few months at Melbourne,<br />
Erlend found it challenging to speak English<br />
all the time. But it was exciting to check out<br />
a new city and make friends. “I was staying<br />
in the <strong>International</strong> House college during my<br />
first semester, and it was a lot of fun.”<br />

“I am a Latin American student,<br />
from Bogota, Colombia and<br />
I did nearly two years of<br />
Medicine at a very recognised<br />
university in my country.<br />
After two years of studying, I<br />
decided to study English in an<br />
English-speaking country for<br />
a year, as this is the best way<br />
to actually learn the language.<br />
When I arrived in Australia<br />
(Sydney) I changed my mind<br />
about going back to Colombia.<br />
I did some research into the<br />
courses that were available in<br />
the best universities throughout<br />
Australia and I came across the<br />
University of Melbourne. It was<br />
definitely the best decision I<br />
made.<br />
I heard about the Bachelor of Agriculture at<br />
Trinity College where I did my Foundation<br />
Year. What interested me the most about<br />
the Bachelor of Agriculture was the study of<br />
a number of different types of Agricultural<br />
Systems, which depend on the design of<br />
the landscape, land resources, climatic<br />
conditions, and so forth. I chose this course<br />
initially bec<strong>au</strong>se my principal aim was to<br />
be the producer and manager of a large<br />
Beef Feedlot. At this stage though, I am<br />
becoming more interested in global issues<br />
including the production of food.”<br />

like Peruvian food, but there’s a great variety<br />
of Asian food. Definitely worth coming all<br />
the way from Peru!”<br />
Joann chose the University of Melbourne<br />
bec<strong>au</strong>se of its prestige – and hockey.<br />
“I started researching the University of<br />
Melbourne and asking about the city and<br />

Master of Engineering) are professionally<br />
recognised by Engineers Australia and<br />
by signatory countries to the Washington<br />
Accord. This provides graduates with a truly<br />
international qualification.<br />
The 125-point psychology major is<br />
accredited by the Australian Psychology<br />
Accreditation Council (APAC), the<br />
accrediting <strong>au</strong>thority for psychology<br />
courses t<strong>au</strong>ght in Australia. These<br />
qualifications are generally well-regarded<br />
overseas. You are advised to check<br />
registration requireme<strong>nts</strong> with the relevant<br />
<strong>au</strong>thority in your home country if you are an<br />
international student.<br />
Depth<br />
Developing your specialisation<br />
The Bachelor of Science (BSc) offers a<br />
comprehensive program with areas of study<br />
spanning the sciences, technology and<br />
engineering. It is also a preferred pathway<br />
(along with the BBiomed) to the graduate<br />
professional entry programs in Medicine,<br />
Physiotherapy, Dental Science and Nursing.<br />
The BSc provides you with the opportunity<br />
to tailor your own program of study to your<br />
individual strengths and career goals. You<br />
will be able to explore several areas in your<br />
first year, becoming more specific in your<br />
choices as you progress towards your third<br />
and final year.<br />
www.science.unimelb.edu.<strong>au</strong>
50<br />
With no compulsory subjects to undertake<br />
in your first year, your program of study will<br />
be unique to your interests and capabilities.<br />
The structure of the course provides<br />
flexibility and promotes choice – you will<br />
choose your major only at the end of your<br />
second year. This provides a coherent<br />
study experience and a depth of knowledge<br />
in a science, technology or engineering<br />
discipline. In the third year of the degree,<br />
there will be a capstone experience for each<br />
major, where you will apply the knowledge<br />
and skills you have developed.<br />
Several first-year packages have been<br />
designed to assist you to put together useful<br />
subject combinations that will provide you<br />
with flexibility to reach a decision about your<br />
final major of interest at a later stage in your<br />
degree. These have been designed to cater<br />
for different backgrounds and interests.<br />
The packages available are Behavioural<br />
Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Earth &<br />
Environmental Sciences, Engineering<br />
Systems, Life Sciences, Mathematical<br />
Sciences & Information Technology, and<br />
Physical Sciences.<br />
Breadth<br />
Knowledge across disciplines<br />
The Bachelor of Science aims to produce<br />
graduates who are trained in a particular<br />
discipline (depth) as well as knowledgeable<br />
across disciplines (breadth). Throughout<br />
the course you will undertake breadth<br />
subjects that integrate perspectives<br />
from the sciences, humanities and the<br />
social sciences, or contrast with science<br />
core subjects. Breadth subjects develop<br />
knowledge, skills and approaches to<br />
learning that equip you for careers<br />
and research in which interdisciplinary<br />
understanding is increasingly important.<br />
You might choose to study breadth subjects<br />
that explore the historical background and<br />
evolution of scientific concepts in disciplines<br />
such as History and Philosophy of Science,<br />
History or Anthropology. Alternatively, you<br />
might look at science in the context of the<br />
challenges facing modern society, using<br />
studies in disciplines such as Political<br />
Science, Law, Education, Criminology or<br />
Economics. Importantly, if you have interests<br />
that lie outside of the sciences, you might<br />
choose to use your breadth subjects to<br />
delve further into these areas.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> can choose subjects from a wide<br />
variety of disciplines including speciallydeveloped<br />
University Breadth Subjects<br />
that provide a multidisciplinary approach<br />
to teaching and learning from across the<br />
humanities, social sciences and sciences.<br />
Knowledge transfer<br />
Connecting with other stude<strong>nts</strong>,<br />
industry and the community<br />
Bachelor of Science stude<strong>nts</strong> will be<br />
encouraged to take their learning<br />
beyond the classroom to gain a range of<br />
experiences to complement their studies.<br />
Such experiences include mentoring<br />
secondary school stude<strong>nts</strong>, undertaking<br />
overseas exchange programs, participating<br />
in research internships or being involved in<br />
community projects. These activities allow<br />
you to share knowledge with the wider<br />
community, and gain valuable experience<br />
for future employment.<br />
In2science Peer Mentoring in Schools<br />
Program<br />
In2science is an exciting and innovative<br />
program that adds to secondary school<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong>’ experience of science and<br />
mathematics, where volunteer peer role<br />
models engage with stude<strong>nts</strong> and teachers.<br />
University Science and Mathematics<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> volunteer their time to work in<br />
school classrooms for a few hours each<br />
week. You will act as a role model for the<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong>, inspiring them to raise their<br />
aspirations and achieve their potential in<br />
these subjects. See: www.science.unimelb.<br />

quite literally work anywhere in<br />
the world as the course is also<br />
accredited by the Royal College<br />

“I would recommend studying at Melbourne<br />
to anyone. It’s a huge investment, but when<br />
you consider what else you gain from this,<br />
there is no question of value. The whole<br />
experience has changed me. I’m more<br />
confident and wiser to the world outside<br />
of America. Australia is also a very easy<br />
transition from America. It is foreign enough<br />
to feel new and exciting, yet familiar enough<br />
to ease you into a new lifestyle.”<br />

Professional and international<br />
degree recognition<br />
The Faculty of Veterinary Science is an<br />
AVMA Accredited Veterinary School. This<br />
means that Bachelor of Veterinary Science<br />
graduates are considered in the same<br />
category as graduates from North American<br />
veterinary schools when undertaking the<br />
licensing examinations in North America. As<br />
a graduate, you will be qualified to register<br />
and practise as a veterinarian throughout<br />
Australia and several other countries<br />
including Great Britain and New Zealand.<br />
For registration in Singapore and Hong<br />
Kong you must hold a recognised degree<br />
in veterinary medicine. As a guide, degrees<br />
recognised by the Royal College of<br />
Veterinary Surgeons, United Kingdom, are<br />
generally acceptable. Graduates with the<br />
degree of Bachelor of Veterinary Science<br />
from the University of Melbourne may<br />
register with the Royal College of Veterinary<br />
Surgeons. Further information on specific<br />
requireme<strong>nts</strong> for licensure should be<br />
obtained from the respective bodies in each<br />
country and state or province.<br />
Depth<br />
Developing your specialisation<br />
The Bachelor of Veterinary Science offers<br />
three main study areas: the healthy animal;<br />
the response of animals to disease; and<br />
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of<br />
diseases.<br />
Please note: Study in Veterinary Science<br />
involves the use of animals and animal<br />
tissues in practical classes. You should<br />
be aware that such use of animals is an<br />
essential part of this course and exemptions<br />
are not available. All sessions involving<br />
the use of animals are approved by the<br />
University’s Animal Welfare Committee.<br />
(The Committee membership includes<br />
community members with animal welfare<br />
interests.)<br />
Knowledge transfer<br />
Connecting with other stude<strong>nts</strong>,<br />
industry and the community<br />
You are required to gain practical experience<br />
in animal handling, care and management<br />
through the subjects Animal Health,<br />
Management and Welfare 1A and 1B and 2A<br />
and 2B (in the first and second year). Linked<br />
with this is a work placement requirement for<br />
two weeks with urban animal shelters and/<br />
or licensed wildlife rescue centres, and six<br />
weeks with commercial animal enterprises.<br />
In the third and fourth years practical<br />
experience is gained in the Veterinary Clinic<br />
and Hospital in the subjects Professional<br />
Practice 1, 2 and 3.<br />
Linked with this are the extramural<br />
professional work placement requireme<strong>nts</strong><br />
of four weeks rostered in the Veterinary Clinic<br />
and Hospital, one week gaining experience<br />
in dairy cattle medicine at the Rural<br />
Veterinary Centre at Maffra in Gippsland,<br />
and 12 weeks working in veterinary practices<br />
supervised by veterinarians appointed by<br />
the University as Academic Associates.<br />
Professional Practice 3 covers the whole of<br />
the final semester and allows the choice of<br />
four electives each of three weeks. Electives<br />
are available in the Veterinary Clinic and<br />
Hospital or outside the University with<br />
animal welfare organisations or Academic<br />
Associates. Overseas placeme<strong>nts</strong> are also<br />
available. You will be provided with guidance<br />
on your choice of placeme<strong>nts</strong>.<br />
The Veterinary Stude<strong>nts</strong> Society of<br />
Victoria (VSSV) is an active student<br />
society encouraging the participation<br />
of all stude<strong>nts</strong>. The Society supports<br />
several special interest groups where you<br />
can pursue your academic and practical<br />
interests in a particular aspect of veterinary<br />
science beyond the normal provisions of<br />
the veterinary curriculum ie. wildlife, bovine,<br />
sheep and horse appreciation groups.<br />
Graduate study opportunities<br />
Research opportunities, within Australia<br />
and internationally, following the completion<br />
of the Melbourne Veterinary degree are<br />
numerous and varied. At Melbourne, areas<br />
of study range from parasites of Australian<br />
native mammals to bone and muscle cell<br />
biology, from blood banking in dogs and<br />
cats to dairy cattle medicine. You can study<br />
at a Masters level or for a PhD. Some of<br />
our graduate stude<strong>nts</strong> are undertaking a<br />
research degree part-time while holding<br />
veterinary positions in the Veterinary Clinic<br />
and Hospital at Werribee campus.<br />
Coursework programs for professional<br />
development are available. Some are short<br />
courses and others lead to a Postgraduate<br />
Certificate or a Masters degree. The<br />
Avian Health online program is an exciting<br />
interactive web-based learning program<br />
allowing career development while<br />
maintaining a professional position.<br />

Mary Jane says that her<br />
engagement in the Centre For<br />
Ideas as part of the Bachelor<br />
of Dance has been enriching<br />
beyond her expectations.<br />
“To see myself in the same room with artists<br />
other than my fellow dance artists; to be<br />
able to share that moment with talented<br />
strangers, all with a different perspective,<br />
has made my experience so special and so<br />
different. It helped me open up to new ideas<br />
and poi<strong>nts</strong> of views.”<br />
As well as being challenged to broaden<br />
her perspective in class, Mary Jane has<br />
found the whole experience of studying in<br />
another country enlightening. “Discovering<br />
myself as an individual and as an artist has<br />
been important; but being a part of what<br />
Melbourne has to offer, without losing who I<br />
am, is also a learning experience. This is an<br />
opportunity for me to grow and establish a<br />
productive future for myself.”<br />
Contemporary duo work and ballet are<br />
Mary’s favourite subjects. She likes the<br />
discipline, “the hard work to develop<br />
strength, the be<strong>au</strong>tiful lines you can<br />
achieve.” Once her dance studies are<br />
completed, Mary Jane intends to stay at the<br />
University of Melbourne to study a Master<br />
of Primary Teaching. “My dream job is to<br />
become a qualified teacher and work with<br />
children. I’d also like to teach dance and<br />
do some volunteer work with families, help<br />
kids with school work and teach them to be<br />
creative.”<br />

Bachelor of Dramatic Art<br />
Emmeli has jumped right into<br />
the stimulating world of the VCA.<br />
“There’s always something on at<br />
VCA; exhibitions, plays, dance,<br />
music, films and so on, so I try<br />
and go to see as much as I can.”<br />
And this is what she does outside class for<br />
fun. When it comes to study, “VCA to me<br />
means that I can do what I’m passionate<br />
about for nine hours a day and more. It’s a<br />
delicious gift. I love creating other worlds,<br />
and it always makes me feel a little bit on<br />
edge, and I like that.<br />
“There is no typical week at Drama, it all<br />
changes, all the time, that’s what’s so<br />
great. We have skills classes all the way<br />
through our training in the form of Voice and<br />
Movement but the project we do always<br />
changes.”<br />
The highlight of Emmeli’s experience so far<br />
is “My last project, FOUR TWINS, directed<br />
by P<strong>au</strong>l Terrell. It was a very absurdist<br />
surreal comedy where I played a twin<br />
sister stuck in a log cabin with her sister<br />
and another twin couple. We used a lot of<br />
fake blood and the <strong>au</strong>dience had to wear<br />
protective ponchos. A feast for the senses!”<br />
One thing that Emmeli didn’t expect from<br />
her experience at the VCA was that her<br />
stage fright disappeared. “I never really<br />
thought I’d get rid of it, in fact I thought<br />
going to drama school might just make it<br />
worse, but it’s gone.”<br />

An Autonomous Artist is one who will<br />
attain mastery of their craft, demonstrate<br />
an awareness of social and political<br />
responsibility within the society in<br />
which she/he lives and works, engage<br />
with ideas, work within ensemble and<br />
hierarchical situations, and contribute to<br />
the development of new work. Our actors<br />
develop a methodology, which equips<br />
them to meet the challenges of work in<br />
any professional theatre, film or television<br />
context. They primarily find work as actors<br />
in theatre, film and/or television. Theatre<br />

Virginie Tetoofa is a third year<br />
student in the Bachelor of Film<br />
and Television. An international<br />
student from French Polynesia,<br />
she is the first AusAID<br />
scholarship recipient to study at<br />
the VCA.<br />
Virginie discovered a passion for Film<br />
and Television when she worked for<br />
production companies in Papeete, Tahiti. In<br />
February 2006, she moved to Melbourne<br />
to commence her Bachelor of Film and<br />
Television, where she majors in Directing.<br />
During the three-year course, Virginie has<br />
directed six short films. “Wax” was the<br />
fourth short film she wrote and directed at<br />
the Victorian College of the Arts. It won the<br />
2007 National KODAK Cinematography<br />
Award – Australia, and was included in<br />
the KODAK Asia Pacific Cinematography<br />
Competition.<br />
In 2008, Virginie was fortunate enough<br />
to receive a grant from the Tahitian<br />
government that allowed her to shoot her<br />
graduating film on location in Tahiti for<br />
two weeks, along with her crew from VCA.<br />
Lecturer Nicolette Freeman worked in<br />
collaboration with local crew.<br />
“It was a great new experience for us to<br />
shoot overseas. And we were lucky enough<br />
to have the support of the VCA and the<br />
University of Melbourne staff.<br />
“Back home, we also had a lot of support<br />
from the population. People were proud to<br />
be involved in the project bec<strong>au</strong>se it was<br />
about them and furthermore it was made<br />
by a Tahitian woman. This film was about<br />
our history, our ancient customs and our<br />
culture.”<br />
Virginie is now finishing her short film<br />
E Arioi Vahine: a 15-minute period piece set<br />
in Tahiti before European contact. The film<br />
focuses on a tribe of Polynesian artists who<br />
were not able to bear offspring.<br />
“I’m exploring my own culture… it makes<br />
me feel a little closer to home”, she says<br />
while sitting at the edge of her Melbourne<br />
apartment window.<br />

Bachelor of Fine Art<br />
Kaori Kato is a third-year<br />
drawing student in the<br />
Bachelor of Fine Art at the VCA.<br />
Kaori was the winner of the<br />
prestigious Wallara Travelling<br />
Scholarship in 2008. The<br />
$10,000 scholarship has been<br />
awarded annually to third-year<br />
undergraduate stude<strong>nts</strong> in VCA<br />
Art, providing the winner with a<br />
unique opportunity for travel to<br />
stimulate their work and practice<br />
before returning to study.<br />
An international student from Japan, Kaori<br />
intends to travel to Europe next year in order<br />
to compare the artistic links and moveme<strong>nts</strong><br />
of Asia, Australia and Europe. First up she<br />
intends to use the scholarship to travel to Art<br />
Basel, the world’s premier international art<br />
show for modern and contemporary works,<br />
in Switzerland. In her art practice, Kaori<br />
investigates patterns found in nature and<br />
she will use her time in Switzerland to study<br />
the landscape, discovering new shapes and<br />
compositions to inspire and motivate her<br />
further artistic development. She will then<br />
spend time in Italy investigating the patterns<br />
and shapes from historical buildings and<br />
architecture, through her art practice of<br />
drawing, paper folding and sculpture. At the<br />
end of her trip Kaori will attend the Venice<br />
Biennale 2009.<br />
Jan Murray, Acting Head, VCA Art, says,<br />
“Kaori Kato’s work expresses a love and a<br />
strong sympathy for the medium of paper<br />
with an inventive exploration of paper<br />
folding producing arresting works that are<br />
spatially ambitious yet very poetic. As an<br />
international student from Japan she is<br />
clearly influenced by the cultural tradition of<br />
origami.”<br />

substantial support from a number of<br />
generous donors and consequently has a<br />
broad range of scholarships, awards and<br />
prizes on offer to its stude<strong>nts</strong>. Facultywide<br />
scholarships, awards and prizes are<br />

Careers<br />
The major function of the Bachelor of Fine<br />
Art is to prepare you for a career as an<br />
art practitioner. As visual artists usually<br />
work independently as self-employed<br />
individuals, their achievement is normally<br />
measured by the quality of their artistic<br />
output, critical reaction to their public<br />
exhibitions and their contribution to cultural<br />
life. Consequently, you are advised not to<br />
embark on this course with a preconception<br />
that appropriate job vacancies await you at<br />
the culmination of your studies; advertised<br />
positions specifically designed for artists are<br />
extremely rare.<br />
However, an education in the visual arts<br />
usually produces people who are creative,<br />
flexible and able to adapt specific skills<br />
to occupations with a visual or aesthetic<br />
component. Past graduates have<br />
established satisfying careers in museums,<br />
galleries and community arts centres,<br />
in occupational therapy, in ceramics or<br />
photography studios, art packaging and<br />
transportation, as art advisers to corporate<br />
and government bodies, in film, television<br />
and theatre, in art materials supplies and as<br />
managers or co-ordinators of art or cultural<br />
eve<strong>nts</strong>.<br />
Professional and international<br />
degree recognition<br />
The VCA’s courses enjoy wide recognition<br />
among the international arts community. The<br />
VCA is a member of the European League of<br />
Institutes of the Arts (ELIA), the <strong>International</strong><br />
Council of Fine Arts Deans (ICFAD), and is<br />
an international affiliate of the Association of<br />
Independent Colleges of Art and Design.<br />
VCA Art draws on the strong legacy of the<br />
National Gallery Art School and the Prahran<br />
Art School, whose graduates include Arthur<br />
Boyd, Rupert Bunny, Margaret Preston,<br />
Hugh Ramsay, Fred Williams, Joy Hester<br />
and Clifton Pugh. More recent graduates<br />
include Bill Henson, Jenny Watson, Patricia<br />
Piccinini, Susan Norrie, Ricky Swallow and<br />
Callum Morton.

“I am very pleased with the<br />
quality of training provided by<br />
the University of Melbourne.<br />
My supervisors have been outstanding. I<br />
have found the quality of teaching to be at<br />
an international standard and comparable<br />
with top quality universities in the States.<br />
This is very important for me as I plan on<br />
going back to the United States and have<br />
the confidence that the training I have<br />
learned here is going give me a great start<br />
to my career.<br />
For me doing my Masters degree in<br />
composition has been about finding my<br />
own unique voice as a composer. One<br />
pleasant but unexpected aspect of my<br />
degree is that I have had so many new<br />
ideas and perspectives shown to me that I<br />
have so much more I want to study.<br />
I believe a sign of a good education is not<br />
when an empty bucket is filled but when<br />
a fire is ignited. Melbourne University has<br />
done that for me. I would have no hesitation<br />
recommending Melbourne University to my<br />
friends and colleagues overseas who are<br />
interested in Music Composition.”<br />

industry-related experience and networking<br />
opportunities that assist in the move<br />
from pre-professional training to life as a<br />
professional musician.<br />
Our Music Placement Program, providing<br />
work placeme<strong>nts</strong> in fields such as concert<br />
management, music retail, and sound<br />
recording, links our stude<strong>nts</strong> directly to the<br />
music industry. Similarly, our Musicians’<br />

professional performance work, provides<br />
experience directly relevant to a musical<br />
performance career.<br />
Capstone activities<br />
Drawing it all together<br />
Each specialisation has a capstone<br />
activity – a final recital for performance,<br />
a final folio of works for composition, a<br />
research methods activity for musicology/<br />
ethnomusicology. Stude<strong>nts</strong> can also take<br />
a Career Preparation capstone through our<br />
Music Placement Program.<br />
Entry requireme<strong>nts</strong><br />
In addition to the entry requireme<strong>nts</strong><br />
outlined on pages 119–127, you are<br />
required to pass an <strong>au</strong>dition and complete<br />
a musicianship test. For your <strong>au</strong>dition to be<br />
at a competitive standard, we recommend<br />
that the repertoire you present be at the<br />
equivalent standard of Grade 7 AMEB<br />
(Grade 8 ABRSM) on your instrument or<br />
Grade 5 AMEB for voice.<br />
Audition: Live <strong>au</strong>ditions are usually held<br />
from late November into early December<br />
or you can submit an <strong>au</strong>dition recording in<br />
CD <strong>au</strong>dio format. We also visit a number of<br />
countries each year to hold <strong>au</strong>ditions. For<br />
your <strong>au</strong>dition, you should prepare three<br />
pieces demonstrating your skill on the<br />
instrument you wish to study. The pieces<br />
should be of contrasting styles and periods,<br />
and the <strong>au</strong>dition program should be no<br />
longer than 20 minutes. A sample program<br />
might include works from the Baroque,<br />
Romantic and 20th century repertoires. You<br />
may also be asked to demonstrate some<br />
technical work. The <strong>au</strong>dition panel will not<br />
hear all of the program and will make its<br />
own selection from the works prepared.<br />
For further details, see: www.bmus.unimelb.<br />
edu.<strong>au</strong>/apply/int.html<br />
Musicianship test: The musicianship<br />
test assesses your <strong>au</strong>ral and theory skills,<br />
which we use to design a first-year course<br />
structure to meet your specific needs.<br />
The test is held three times during the live<br />
<strong>au</strong>dition period and, for those who <strong>au</strong>dition<br />
via recording, again in the Orientation<br />
period prior to the commencement of<br />
classes.<br />
Instrument: Prior to applying, confirm<br />
that tuition is available on your chosen<br />
instrument. If you are advanced on two<br />
instrume<strong>nts</strong>, and are unsure about which<br />
instrument to specialise in, you are welcome<br />
to <strong>au</strong>dition for both instrume<strong>nts</strong>.<br />
Honours<br />
While stude<strong>nts</strong> have the option of an exit<br />
point after three years, many stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
will proceed into a fourth year of highly<br />

Graduate Study at Melbourne<br />
There are a number of pathways<br />
to graduate study at Melbourne.<br />
As part of the Melbourne Model, some<br />
disciplines which were previously offered<br />
at the undergraduate level are now offered<br />
at the graduate level by our new graduate<br />
schools. For example you will be able<br />
to study degrees which qualify you for<br />
professions in Architecture, Education,<br />
Engineering, Law, Accounting and the<br />
medical field at graduate level.<br />
The University of Melbourne offers over 340<br />
different graduate programs ranging from<br />
professional entry degrees for stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
wanting to gain a qualification or change<br />
career path, to graduate professional<br />
development programs designed for<br />
professionals interested in advancing<br />
their career opportunities. Increasingly<br />
well-regarded by prospective employers,<br />
graduate qualifications offer employees an<br />
edge over competitors and often attract<br />
higher salaries.<br />
At Melbourne you can undertake<br />
graduate study in coursework or research.<br />
Coursework is similar to an undergraduate<br />
degree in that you have tutorials and<br />
lectures, exams and ongoing assessme<strong>nts</strong>.<br />
Research is a more independent style of<br />
learning where you focus on a particular<br />
research topic and have an academic,<br />
highly skilled in your area of expertise,<br />
supervising you and keeping you on track to<br />
produce your assessed research report.<br />
Admission to all graduate programs<br />
requires the prior completion of an<br />
undergraduate degree either from the<br />
University of Melbourne, a university in<br />
another country or another Australian<br />
institution. Some programs also require<br />
professional work experience.<br />
Graduate professional<br />
development programs<br />
Graduate professional development<br />
programs offer the opportunity to extend<br />
professional understanding, update existing<br />
skills or pursue a personal interest in a<br />
particular area.<br />

Haitao Pu (Richard)<br />
Graduate of the Melbourne JD<br />
Bachelor of Arts, East China<br />
Normal University (PRC) and MBA,<br />
La Trobe University (Australia)<br />
China<br />
Why did you choose the Melbourne<br />
JD program?<br />
I had just completed an MBA prior to<br />
starting the Melbourne JD. I thought<br />
the combination of MBA and a Law<br />
degree would open up a range of<br />
career opportunities in both legal and<br />
other industries. Given the reputation of<br />
Melbourne Law School and the course<br />
structure, I decided to choose the<br />
Melbourne JD.<br />
Describe your experience of the JD<br />
program. What were the highlights?<br />
The learning curve was very steep for<br />
me when I started JD without enough<br />
experience of the legal system of<br />
Australia. The first and second semesters<br />
were very challenging. I felt much more<br />
comfortable and confident after the<br />
initial two semesters – I even managed<br />
to win the ABL Corporations Law award<br />
and complete the GDLP program with<br />
Australian National University during my<br />
second year.<br />
Since graduating what are you<br />
doing now? How have you applied<br />
your skills and learning from the JD<br />
program?<br />
After a career in business in China and<br />
working as a solicitor at Mallesons<br />
Stephen Jaques in Melbourne, I am now<br />
an Associate at Sl<strong>au</strong>ghter and May,<br />
Hong Kong.<br />
What advice would you give<br />
prospective stude<strong>nts</strong> thinking about<br />
applying to join the Melbourne JD?<br />
I think a prospective student should first<br />
understand the legal profession and make<br />
sure he or she really wa<strong>nts</strong> to become a<br />
lawyer.

The Melbourne JD is a versatile qualification<br />
well-regarded by a huge range of employers.<br />
It is important to note that employers of<br />
our Law graduates are not just law firms<br />
– they are also management consulting<br />
companies, financial institutions, NGOs,<br />
aid organisations and government<br />
departme<strong>nts</strong> such as the Department of<br />
Foreign Affairs and Trade, to name just<br />
a few. Your Melbourne JD can also be<br />
used as a stepping stone into merchant<br />
banking, industrial relations, human rights,<br />
journalism and the media. Corporations,<br />
statutory <strong>au</strong>thorities and the public service<br />
also recruit Law graduates directly into their<br />
management training programs.<br />
Professional and international<br />
degree recognition<br />
The JD is internationally recognised, and<br />
is highly regarded by law firms and other<br />
employers of Law graduates. The study<br />
of a first degree in Law at graduate level<br />
is increasingly becoming the international<br />
standard with the JD qualification offered by<br />
leading Law schools in the United States,<br />
Canada and Hong Kong. The Melbourne JD<br />
leads to admission to the legal profession in<br />
all Australian jurisdictions, and can be used<br />
as a basis for seeking admission in many<br />
common law jurisdictions overseas.<br />

Course description<br />
The purpose of the professional training<br />
programs is to train stude<strong>nts</strong> in professional<br />
areas of the discipline of psychology.<br />
Each program is designed to provide: (i)<br />
a grounding in the theoretical, conceptual<br />
and empirical foundations of psychology<br />
and in the skills relevant to the various areas<br />
of professional practice; (ii) supervised<br />
practical experience; and (iii) research<br />
training in the area of professional<br />
specialisation.
Areas of specialisation are Clinical<br />
Psychology, Clinical Psychology<br />
(Child Specialisation) and Clinical<br />
Neuropsychology.<br />
The Master of Psychology program involves<br />
coursework, placement and a minor thesis<br />
(6,000 - 10,000 words). During the first<br />
year of the course, stude<strong>nts</strong> complete a<br />
number of subjects designed to provide<br />
an introduction to the relevant area and to<br />
train them in the basic professional skills in<br />
preparation for placeme<strong>nts</strong> appropriate to<br />
their particular specialisation. Stude<strong>nts</strong> also<br />
complete their first professional placement.<br />
In addition, stude<strong>nts</strong> commence work on<br />
an empirical thesis in the first year of study,<br />
which is submitted for examination in the<br />
final year of the course.<br />
During the second year of study, stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
complete a series of advanced subjects.<br />
In addition, stude<strong>nts</strong> participate in a series<br />
of practical training placeme<strong>nts</strong>, which<br />
provide exposure to a variety of models<br />
of professional practice, and practical<br />
involvement with clie<strong>nts</strong> in a wide variety<br />
of situations. Stude<strong>nts</strong> are expected to<br />
display an increased level of responsibility<br />
and competence as they proceed through<br />
the sequence of placeme<strong>nts</strong>. Stude<strong>nts</strong> are<br />
also expected to maintain high standards<br />
throughout the course.<br />

Course description<br />
From 2011, the veterinary program will<br />
offer veterinary stude<strong>nts</strong> the best possible<br />
preparation for 21st century careers in a<br />
rapidly changing and increasingly global<br />
workforce. The new Doctor of Veterinary<br />
Medicine brings together technological<br />
change, clinical and scientific progress, and<br />
stimulating teaching and learning methods.<br />
You can expect to learn the latest theory<br />
and practice, with plenty of practical handson<br />
experience, t<strong>au</strong>ght by a team of leading<br />
veterinarians.<br />
By studying Veterinary Science via the<br />
Melbourne Model, stude<strong>nts</strong> will benefit from<br />
graduating with two degrees: a Bachelor<br />
of Science and a Doctor of Veterinary<br />
Medicine Q.<br />
Through the Bachelor of Science, Animal<br />
Health and Disease (Veterinary Bioscience<br />
specialisation) and the Doctor of Veterinary<br />
Medicine Q, stude<strong>nts</strong> will undertake<br />
integrated studies that encourage and<br />
facilitate learning. The final year of the<br />
program will be used for workplace and<br />
experiential learning in our busy Veterinary<br />
Clinic and Hospital, in private practices and<br />
industry. There will also be the opportunity<br />
to undertake research during the final year.<br />
Please note that full details of the veterinary<br />
program are still being determined.<br />
Creating a world of career<br />
opportunities<br />
Employment opportunities for new<br />
graduates are excellent with 98 per cent<br />
of our graduates obtaining full-time<br />
employment within six months of completing<br />
the course.<br />
As well as preparing you for entry to<br />
veterinary practice, veterinary training<br />
opens up an enormous number of<br />
additional career opportunities both<br />
nationally and internationally. You could go<br />
on to specialise in small animal medicine,<br />
equine or farm animal practice, or focus on<br />
exotic animals, wildlife, laboratory animals<br />
or poultry. There are also opportunities in<br />
other walks of life, including universities,<br />
research establishme<strong>nts</strong>, pharmaceutical<br />
companies and government service across<br />
the globe.<br />

Professional and international<br />
degree recognition<br />
Our veterinary program is accredited by the<br />
American Veterinary Medical Association<br />
(AVMA), the Royal College of Veterinary<br />
Surgeons (UK), and by the Australasian<br />
Veterinary Boards Council Inc. These<br />
accreditations reflect the high quality and<br />
international standing of the course and<br />
permits graduates of the course to work as<br />
veterinarians in a wide range of countries<br />
including the US and UK. Accreditation is<br />
important as graduation from an accredited<br />
veterinary school is required by registration<br />
bodies before new graduates can be issued<br />
a licence to practise veterinary medicine.<br />
As a graduate, you will be qualified to<br />
register and practise as a veterinarian<br />
throughout Australia and several other<br />
countries including Great Britain and New<br />
Zealand. For registration in Singapore and<br />
Hong Kong you must hold a recognised<br />
degree in veterinary medicine. As a guide,<br />
degrees recognised by the Royal College<br />
of Veterinary Surgeons, United Kingdom,<br />
are generally acceptable. Graduates from<br />
the University of Melbourne may register<br />
with the Royal College of Veterinary<br />
Surgeons. Further information on specific<br />
requireme<strong>nts</strong> for licensure should be<br />
obtained from the respective bodies in each<br />
country and state or province.<br />

Enrich Your Degree<br />
Concurrent Diplomas<br />
99<br />
Concurrent diplomas offer University of<br />
Melbourne stude<strong>nts</strong> an additional means<br />
to follow a passion. Available in the<br />
areas of mathematics, languages, music<br />
and informatics, most diplomas allow<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> to structure their study to suit their<br />
schedules and interests.<br />
Diplomas allow stude<strong>nts</strong> many flexible<br />
options – from studying the diploma totally<br />
alongside their bachelors degree (adding<br />
a further year of study) to cross-crediting<br />
some of the study in their bachelors degree<br />
to their diploma and taking a “fast track”<br />
to completion (potentially completing the<br />
diploma in the same time that it takes to<br />
complete the bachelors degree). Stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
can also work with course advisers to create<br />
any combination of these two options that<br />
suits their needs. The mode of undertaking<br />
the diploma will depend on each student’s<br />
particular circumstances.<br />
Applications for most diplomas<br />
can be made at any time – from the<br />
commencement of the bachelors degree<br />
right up to the second semester of third<br />
year. Entry is competitive.<br />
Stude<strong>nts</strong> graduating with a diploma will<br />
have completed a major in that area of<br />
study which may allow them to continue to<br />
graduate study in the field without holding a<br />
related bachelors degree.<br />

<strong>2010</strong> Tuition Fees<br />
There are often many questions about tuition fees. The information<br />
below answers some of these questions. You will receive detailed<br />
fee information and the fee policy when you are offered a place at<br />
the University of Melbourne. More information is available online,<br />
see: www.futurestude<strong>nts</strong>.unimelb.edu.<strong>au</strong>/int/apply/fees/index.html
105<br />
What fees do I pay?<br />
In <strong>2010</strong>, you pay tuition fees based on the particular subjects you<br />
choose to study. The amount you are charged is the sum of the fees<br />
for all subjects in which you enrol.<br />
Subject fees are set within a fixed number of bands based on the<br />
Australian Government Department of Education, Employment<br />
and Workplace Relations discipline classification of the subject,<br />
with different prices charged for undergraduate, graduate and<br />
Community Access Program study. The graduate rates also apply<br />
to any fee-paying research higher degree student.<br />
Other fees<br />
There are other costs associated with your studies that you need<br />
to consider, including compulsory Overseas Student Health Cover<br />
(OSHC; see below).<br />
The Amenities and Services fee funds essential non-academic<br />
student services, such as housing, employment, counselling,<br />
health, financial aid, child care, and academic support services.<br />
Contact the University’s Student Administration for more information<br />
about this fee see: www.studentadmin.unimelb.edu.<strong>au</strong>/<br />
Will my tuition fees ever differ from the published<br />
fee?<br />
The subject fees detailed in this publication relate to 2009 only.<br />
These fees are subject to annual review and may be adjusted to<br />
take into account price and demand factors for each discipline<br />
band.<br />
The University provides a guarantee to international stude<strong>nts</strong> that<br />
the fee will not increase by more than 7 per cent a year in any<br />
discipline for undergraduate subjects and not by more than 10 per<br />
cent a year in any discipline for graduate subjects.<br />
Example of calculating fees:<br />
Chen is an international student who enrols in a Bachelor of<br />
Science in 2009. She enrols in a total of 100 credit poi<strong>nts</strong> (1 EFTSL),<br />
comprising 8 subjects: 4 science subjects (12.5 credit poi<strong>nts</strong> each);<br />
2 commerce subjects (12.5 credit subjects each); and 2 maths<br />
subjects (12.5 credit poi<strong>nts</strong> each).<br />
Chen’s tuition fees for 2009 are calculated as:<br />
(4 x 0.125 x $29,100) + (2 x 0.125 x $28,000) + (2 x 0.125 x $27,400)<br />
= $28,400.<br />
Overseas Student Health Cover<br />
It is compulsory for international stude<strong>nts</strong> to take out Overseas<br />
Student Health Cover (OSHC) while studying in Australia Q.<br />
<strong>International</strong> stude<strong>nts</strong> may choose from four OSHC providers.<br />
Check the Department of Health and Ageing website for details and<br />
conditions:<br />
www.health.gov.<strong>au</strong>/internet/wcms/publishing.nsf/content/healthprivatehealth-consumers-oshc.htm<br />
The University’s preferred OSHC provider is OSHC Worldcare:<br />
www.oshcworldcare.com.<strong>au</strong><br />
The University requires all stude<strong>nts</strong> to purchase visa-length cover at<br />
the time of accepting their offer. This ensures that you are compliant<br />
with the conditions of your student visa and you have up-to-date<br />
health insurance for the entire duration of your study program.<br />
Q Some Norwegian and Swedish stude<strong>nts</strong> have been exempted from OSHC in favour of a<br />
scheme sourced by their governme<strong>nts</strong>.<br />

Your Student Experience<br />
Welcome to Melbourne<br />
Studying abroad is an exciting and inspiring<br />
experience. We understand that it can also<br />
be a bit d<strong>au</strong>nting. Naturally, you can expect<br />
a period of adjustment as you settle into<br />
your new course and lifestyle. Our stude<strong>nts</strong><br />
come from a diverse range of social and<br />
cultural backgrounds. All of them need to<br />
anticipate changes as they commence<br />
living and studying somewhere different,<br />
even those stude<strong>nts</strong> who are familiar with<br />
Melbourne.<br />
Arrival Services<br />
We can arrange to collect you at Melbourne<br />
Airport (Tullamarine) when you arrive<br />
in Melbourne. This service is available<br />
from the airport to the CBD, Parkville and<br />
surrounding areas. You must apply at least<br />
72 hours before you leave your country or<br />
other Australian states and territories.<br />
Temporary Accommodation<br />
If needed, we can also book temporary<br />
accommodation for you in a budget hotel<br />
located near the Parkville campus. You are<br />
responsible for all hotel costs and must<br />
apply at least 72 hours before you leave<br />
your country or other Australian states and<br />
territories.<br />

Transition to university<br />
Academic and student culture<br />
Studying abroad is an exciting and inspiring<br />
experience. It can also be a bit d<strong>au</strong>nting.<br />
Naturally, you can expect a period of<br />
adjustment as you settle into your new<br />
course and lifestyle. Our stude<strong>nts</strong> come<br />
from a diverse range of social and cultural<br />
backgrounds. All of them need to anticipate<br />
changes as they commence living and<br />
studying somewhere different, even those<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong> who are familiar with Melbourne.<br />
At the University of Melbourne we have an<br />
award-winning Transition and Orientation<br />
Programs unit to welcome stude<strong>nts</strong> and<br />
provide support as they enter this new<br />
environment.<br />
The first event you are expected to attend<br />
is Academic Advice Day (AAD), which<br />
includes your international student briefing.<br />
At AAD you will receive detailed course<br />
and subject information, which will enable<br />
you to finalise your enrolment early, so that<br />
you can start getting ready for university.<br />
Following AAD is Week O: Orientation<br />
for all new stude<strong>nts</strong>, which will give you<br />
opportunities to prepare for your studies,<br />
settle into your new lifestyle in Melbourne,<br />
become acquainted with the campus,<br />
services and facilities and meet other new<br />
stude<strong>nts</strong>. Orientation begins with the Host<br />
Program in which you will be welcomed to<br />
the University community by a later-year<br />
student host who will introduce you and a<br />
small group of other new stude<strong>nts</strong> from your<br />
course to the campus.<br />
Throughout the week you will have the<br />
opportunity to attend a series of transition<br />
workshops on a variety of academic,<br />
cultural and practical topics. We also<br />
encourage you to visit the Welcome Centre<br />
for assistance after you arrive.<br />
Your transition support continues beyond<br />
the important week of Orientation activities.<br />
Each faculty has specific transition<br />
strategies designed to meet the needs of<br />
its stude<strong>nts</strong> and its fields of study. Some of<br />
this will be directly available to you in your<br />
subjects. There may also be additional<br />
resources to look out for such as first-year<br />
learning centres, study groups and mentor<br />
schemes. In addition, there are excellent<br />
central services to access including<br />
academic skills and developmental<br />
sessions for stude<strong>nts</strong> with English as a<br />
second language.<br />
Your Melbourne Experience is not limited to<br />
academic pursuits. We encourage you to<br />
become involved in the life of the University<br />
community. You might start by joining one<br />
or more of the 150 student-run clubs and<br />
societies on campus.<br />
There are plenty of opportunities to meet<br />
people outside class, learn new skills,<br />
explore new areas, maintain health and<br />
fitness, develop your leadership and<br />
communication skills or simply relax and<br />
have some fun.<br />
From school to university<br />
Perhaps you don’t know many people<br />
in Melbourne, you’re not sure how the<br />
University works or you are wondering what<br />
your average day will be like. You may be<br />
used to a different teaching and learning<br />
style. As an international student, you have<br />
the added challenge of adapting to a new<br />
country. All stude<strong>nts</strong> starting university for<br />
the first time need to make adjustme<strong>nts</strong>.<br />
Sometimes simply expecting things to be<br />
different can make it easier to deal with<br />
change. Give yourself a chance to settle<br />
in. Some things will be better than you<br />
expected, and some might not be so easy.<br />
There are sure to be challenges, l<strong>au</strong>ghs and<br />
many enriching and rewarding experiences.<br />
You can assist in your own transition by<br />
finding out as much as you can before<br />
arriving. The Transition and Orientation<br />
website has great advice for you as you<br />
embark on your university career.
109<br />
Some other suggestions include:<br />
>>Read Australian newspapers online; talk<br />
with others who’ve been here; look at<br />
Australian travel websites<br />
>>Get information about your course<br />
and the University, including facilities<br />
such as libraries and information and<br />
communication technology resources<br />
>>Take advantage of transition programs on<br />
offer in your faculty and departme<strong>nts</strong>. Get<br />
involved in study groups, mentor schemes<br />
or first-year learning centres<br />
>>Explore the range of services available<br />
such as <strong>International</strong> Student Services,<br />
Financial Aid, Student Housing Services,<br />
Counselling, and the Academic Skills Unit.<br />
They all have specialist staff to help you<br />
adjust to the various aspects of university<br />
life. Don’t be afraid to ask for assistance.<br />
Consider becoming a member of the<br />
Student Union to access a range of other<br />
services<br />
>>Coping with change is easier when<br />
you have people with whom to share<br />
experiences or swap stories. Make the<br />
effort to meet new people in your course<br />
and on campus, and also remember to<br />
keep in touch with people at home.<br />

first, settle into studies, find appropriate<br />
accommodation, adjust to living in Australia,<br />
and then arrange for their family to join them.<br />

Glossary<br />
of Terms<br />
a<br />
Assessment: tasks you are required<br />
to complete to demonstrate your<br />
understanding of a subject. For example, an<br />
essay, examination or presentation.<br />
Associate degree: A vocationally focused<br />
course, which includes two years of study and<br />
work experience. Some associate degrees<br />
articulate to certain bachelors degrees.<br />
b<br />
Bachelors degree: The highest<br />
undergraduate award offered, normally<br />
resulting in detailed knowledge of a<br />
particular area. Under the Melbourne Model<br />
it is recommended that a bachelors degree<br />
be followed by graduate study, such as a<br />
Masters or PhD.<br />
Breadth component: The breadth<br />
component enables stude<strong>nts</strong> to choose<br />
25% of their subjects from disciplines that<br />
stand outside their core studies and majors<br />
in order to develop different approaches<br />
to, and understandings of, constrasting<br />
academic fields.<br />
c<br />
Capstone subject: A final-year<br />
undergraduate subject incorporating<br />
an activity or experience, including an<br />
examination or research project, requiring<br />
you to consider broader themes relevant to<br />
your discipline. The capstone experience<br />
consolidates the content and skills<br />
acquisition compone<strong>nts</strong> of your major<br />
area of study, and encourages you to<br />
apply those achieveme<strong>nts</strong> both within the<br />
capstone experience itself, and later when<br />
you have graduated to further study or<br />
professional life.<br />
Cohort experience: New Generation<br />
degrees will provide you with more<br />
opportunities to interact and build working<br />
relationships with fellow stude<strong>nts</strong> as<br />
you progress through your degree. The<br />
Melbourne Model will strengthen your sense<br />
of being part of a learning community.<br />
Concurrent diploma: A diploma acquired<br />
in an unrelated but complementary subject<br />
area completed alongside a bachelors<br />
degree. The concurrent diploma cannot be<br />
taken alone; it must be taken in conjunction<br />
with a bachelors degree. The diploma<br />
may be awarded only on the successful<br />
completion of the bachelors degree. The<br />
diploma normally consists of a three-year<br />
sequence in an approved area of study<br />
and adds six to 12 months to the degree<br />
completion time.<br />
Cross-disciplinary experience: You<br />
will be able to study subjects that build<br />
on cross-disciplinary research and take<br />
advantage of the various areas of expertise<br />
in the University.<br />
d<br />
Department: A department is an academic<br />
division within a faculty. A faculty may<br />
contain departme<strong>nts</strong> that deal with a<br />

for postgraduate programs and diverse and<br />
changing workplaces.<br />
