THE
MELBOURNE
MODEL
A DIFFERENT WAY
OF THINKING
The University of Melbourne offers a
flexible, progressive degree opportunity.
Our degrees aren’t like most others you
will find in Australia. They are aligned with
those offered by many top institutions
worldwide – which means more
opportunities for you.
In a competitive market, having both an

undergraduate and a higher-level graduate
qualification helps our students stand out
from the rest.
You’ll start with one of our undergraduate

degrees. You can then choose to join the
workforce, or specialise at graduate level.
During your time with us, you'll be able
to study at partner institutions across
the world. There, as in the employment
market, your degree path will be
recognised and understood.
We want you to create your own unique

Melbourne experience, with the power to
choose your direction and keep exploring
new options. This is important in a world
where careers are changing fast and
employers value independent thinking.
We also want you to be able to take
advantage of our knowledge precincts and
partnerships, and to connect with brilliant
minds who can offer you new perspectives.
Few people graduating today will stay

in the same industry forever. With our
degrees, you will build the right skills and
global networks to adapt successfully.

NON-SCHOOL LEAVERS AND
MATURE-AGE STUDENTS
The University welcomes an application

from you, even if you left school some
time ago and haven't undertaken recent
tertiary study. Students who aren’t
coming to uni directly from school are
generally classed as ‘mature-age’ or
‘non-school leaver’ applicants. These
students bring a diversity of experience
and perspective that adds greatly to the
peer-to-peer experience of study under
the Melbourne Model.
Some of our students return to gain a

degree after raising children, or hope
to change career. Others just weren’t
ready for uni when they left high school,
but have gained relevant life experience
and have found a new direction they’d
like to pursue. So many people return
to Melbourne later in life that you're
unlikely to be the only mature-aged
student in the class.
There are many ways to determine if

you’re ready, and if necessary, gain the
additional skills you’ll need to tackle
study and qualify for entry. Chat to our
staff at Stop 1 (see opposite page) to find a
path that’s right for you.
This kind of study can have its own

challenges, so we offer advice and
support once you get here, including
networking events run by the dedicated
University of Melbourne Mature-Age
Student Club.
