ITHE UNIVERSITY

About the university

Parkville. Undergraduates first take a broad degree, and professional training often comes in later years or at master's level.

I

The University of Melbourne was founded in 1853, and its main campus is at Parkville. The undergraduate degree follows the Melbourne curriculum structure: first a broad bachelor's in arts, commerce, science, biomedicine, design and so on, with much professional training (engineering, law, medicine-related) placed at master's level. The Bachelor of Commerce is three years and 300 credit points; you meet several business fields first and then choose a major, and you must take a set number of credit points of non-commerce breadth subjects.

II

The Bachelor of Arts is equally broad, and you must hold a main thread in your course choice yourself. Engineering and medicine-related routes are often not fixed into a four-year timetable from the first year, so the time of bachelor's plus master's must be seen clearly. Language results, visas and the start window must be planned together with the timetable; the name of the university cannot solve the schedule.

III

It suits families who accept 'broad first, specialised later' in the bachelor's degree. For those who want to lock into one very narrow major on entry and understand it as a three-year UK degree, first check this university's course structure. Sydney, with a longer history and an equally wide range of subjects, belongs in the same comparison group.

Who should go, and who should look elsewhere

Suits this university

I

Accepts broad first, specialised later

The bachelor's first touches several fields, and the major and professional training may come in later years or at master's level. Do not read it as the UK pattern of 'fix the subject on entry'.
II

Count language and the start season into the plan

A feasible route does not mean there is time in this season. Even when life in Melbourne suits you, the deadlines are still tight.

Look elsewhere

If you would rather have Sydney, with a longer history and an equally wide range of subjects

Common application directions

The departments and programmes that come up most often in consultations. Within one university, a different department is a different application. Course structure follows what the university's official website publishes for the year.

I

Commerce

Bachelor of Commerce, three years and 300 credit points. In the first year you often meet several fields such as accounting, economics, finance and management, and then choose a major; you must also complete at least 50 credit points of non-commerce breadth. Actuarial studies, engineering pathways and others have special breadth arrangements, following the handbook. It differs from the UK structure of 'four years of finance from entry'.
II

Arts and Sciences

Broad-based undergraduate degrees such as the Bachelor of Arts, with majors and minors combined by yourself. The choice is wide, and it is easy to scatter. Within the first two years you must hold one subject main thread, otherwise at graduation you are left with a pile of unrelated courses.
III

Engineering and Medicine

Much training related to engineering and medicine runs as a bachelor's plus a master's. Prerequisites, language and the start window must be planned together. First look at how many years this professional route takes at Melbourne and which degree it hangs from, and then compare it with the UK and Hong Kong systems.
