Compulsory subjects
Extra requirements
It is University policy to take all reasonable
steps to minimise the impact of disability
upon academic study, and reasonable
adjustments will be made to enhance a
student’s participation in the University’s
programs. This course requires all students
to enrol in subjects where they must actively
and safely contribute to field excursions
and laboratory activities. Students who feel
their disability will impact on meeting this
requirement are encouraged to discuss this
matter with the Subject Co-ordinator and
Disability Liaison Unit (+61 3 8344 7068 or
DLU-enquiries@unimelb.edu.au).
Students enrolling in the Melbourne School
of Land and Environment are advised that
some courses of study may put them at
an increased risk of contracting Q Fever.
Q Fever is a relatively common, preventable
condition which while rarely fatal, can cause
a severe acute illness and can result in
damage to heart valves and chronic fatigue.
It is recommended that students consider
undertaking screening and vaccination for
Q Fever prior to commencement of study.
Students may be required to provide proof
of vaccination prior to undertaking some
coursework. Your course co-ordinator
will advise you of this requirement prior to
commencement of the study semester.
Vaccine costs for students are not covered
by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
(PBS), Medicare, or by the University. Some
students with full private health coverage
(which has hospital and ancillary cover) may
receive partial reimbursement for vaccine
costs.
Honours
If you choose to undertake the fourth
(Honours) year, you will devise a research
project in close collaboration between you,
your lecturers and industry advisers. You
will develop knowledge and understanding
of research methods, skills to design
experiments, and skills in communicating
effectively, verbally and in writing, to both
scientific and non-scientific audiences.
Graduate study opportunities
Students may wish to continue their
undergraduate studies and undertake their
Honours year.
The School offers excellent opportunities
for students to pursue postgraduate studies
in the fields of agricultural science, forest
eco-system science, natural resource
management, urban horticulture, food
science, animal welfare, wood science,
agribusiness, wine technology and
viticulture. Programs available include
Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas,
Postgraduate Certificates, and Postgraduate
Diplomas, Masters (by coursework),
Masters (by research) and Doctoral
degrees.
