4 Courses, careers and the Melbourne Model The University of Melbourne’s Melbourne Model is an approach to higher education that aligns us with the best of European and Asian practice, and North American tradition. You will be able to choose from six new generation degrees and a range of continuing degrees at the undergraduate level and then, if you choose, undertake professional study after graduating. There are a range of professional entry programs that are or will soon be offered at graduate level including Architecture, Cultural Material Conservation, Dental Science, Engineering, Forest Ecosystem Science, Law (Juris Doctor), Management (Accounting), Medicine, Music Therapy, Nursing Science, Psychology, Social Work and Teaching. In addition to the professional entry programs you will have an opportunity to study from over 340 coursework programs or research higher degrees in our new graduate schools. Undergraduate study New generation degrees Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Biomedicine Bachelor of Commerce Bachelor of Environments Bachelor of Music Bachelor of Science Under the Melbourne Model, students studying a new generation undergraduate degree complete a major in a particular discipline together with subjects from outside their core program. Together with the opportunity for internships, study abroad and participation in industry projects, our degrees offer students the chance to explore a range of interests before committing to a particular career path. The depth component of the new generation degrees enables students to develop rich and detailed knowledge, skills and understanding in specific disciplines through the study of sequences of subjects or majors from their first through to their third year. The breadth component enables students to choose 25 per cent of their subjects from disciplines that stand outside their core studies and majors in order to develop different approaches to, and understandings of, contrasting academic fields. Subjects taken as breadth introduce students to expert academics who can expand their knowledge, challenge their perceptions and spark their interest in areas beyond their chosen study focus. The knowledge transfer component provides opportunities for students to connect with the community and employers in many different ways: through field trips and project-based learning, through lectures with industry experts, through internships and placements, in mentoring schemes linking students with professionals, in exchange and study abroad programs, and through increased opportunities to get involved in community, environmental and humanitarian projects. Towards the end of your new generation degree, you will undertake a capstone activity designed to draw together the various strands of your undergraduate education and prepare you for life as a graduate. This may involve work experience, a research project, input from an industry practitioner or a coursework subject outlining business best practice. The University Handbook provides detailed outlines of major study sequences, breadth and capstone subjects: http://handbook. unimelb.edu.au Continuing degrees In addition to the new generation degrees on offer, the University will be selecting students for 2010 entry into the following undergraduate degrees: Agriculture, Dance Q , Dramatic Art Q , Engineering (final intake in Semester 1), Film and Television Q , Fine Art Q , Media and Communications (final intake), Music Performance Q , Oral Health, and Production Q . Q These courses will become part of a new generation degree in 2011. Please see page 37 for more information. Graduate study As part of the Melbourne Model, some disciplines which were previously offered at the undergraduate level are now offered at the graduate level by our new graduate schools. For example, you will be able to study degrees at graduate level which qualify you for professions in architecture, education, engineering, law, accounting and the medical field. The University of Melbourne offers over 340 graduate programs ranging from professional entry degrees for students wanting to gain a qualification or change career path, to graduate professional development programs designed for professionals interested in advancing their career opportunities. Employees with graduate qualifications have an edge over competitors, which makes them increasingly well-regarded by prospective employers and leads to higher salaries. For more information about graduate study, see the Melbourne Model study options diagram opposite and also refer to pages 32–33.
