ENTRY REqUIREMENTS
This table provides a quick summary of our undergraduate degrees and should be used as a guide only. For further information please refer to the various sections in this publication or go to:
www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au
NOTES1 Equivalent Full-Time Student load
(EFTSl): 1 EFTSL is a standard annual full-time load.
2 Domestic students: Applicants who achieve the minimum ATAR for a course will be eligible for a place, provided prerequisite studies and any other specific course requirements are met. The Clearly-in Rank may be higher depending on demand for the course and the number of places available. Only applicants eligible for special entry schemes will be admitted below the minimum ATAR. Minimum ATARs are reviewed annually the 2013 minimum ATARs will be available from www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au
3 Round 1 Clearly-in Ranks. Final 2012 Clearly-in Ranks are published in the 2013 VTAC Guide.
8 International students: The typical course fee shown provides an estimate of the tuition fees for the first year of the course in 2013. This estimate assumes a full-time study load, commencing Semester 1. For some degrees a typical fee range is shown, due to the wide range of variables that may affect the course structure, and subjects taken. Actual tuition fees payable may vary and will be the sum of the fees for all subjects in which you enrol.
9 Recipients of the Bachelor of Commerce Global Scholarship may be admitted with an entry score that is lower than that published here. This scholarship is only available to international students. For more information, go to: www.fbe.unimelb.edu.au/scholarships/scholarships.html
10 Indicative score only (entry is not guaranteed).11 Range of criteria used for selection. Go to the
relevant course page in this publication or visit www.coursesearch.unimelb.edu.au for additional requirements.
12 Students who achieve an ATAR/notional ATAR of 99.90 or above and satisfy course prerequisites will be guaranteed a place in the Chancellors Scholars Program (guarantee does not apply for the Bachelor of Music where there are extra requirements). Students with an ATAR/notional ATAR below 99.90 may be considered depending on demand. Students must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification or the IB in Australia in the year prior to entry (students must either enrol immediately or be granted a deferral in the year following Year 12).
13 Refer to tuition fees for the relevant bachelors degree above.
4 International students: The University guarantees admission to a course when an international student achieves the required score, meets prerequisite studies, satisfies the English language requirements, and there are still places available in the course at the time of acceptance. If you do not meet the guaranteed score your application cannot be considered for entry. Guaranteed scores apply only if no further study has been undertaken after completion of one of these programs. Guaranteed ATARs are reviewed annually. The 2013 guaranteed ATARs will be available at: www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/entryreq/ugrad-int
Domestic students completing an international qualification: The score listed should be considered a minimum score to be eligible for a place in that course.
5 The grade achieved for each subject is awarded points: A+/A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2. To calculate the score required for entry, add the total number of points for three A Level subjects.
6 International students: Must achieve at least the indicative score, meet the prerequisite studies subjects and satisfy the English language requirements to be eligible to be considered for the course.
Domestic students completing an international qualification: The score listed should be considered a minimum score to be eligible for a place in that course.
7 To calculate a final average, you should determine the average of all your year-long final-year subjects; however, the subject with the lowest score will not be included in the calculation, unless it is a prerequisite subject and the course specifies that it must be included. If you have completed four subjects or less, all subjects should be included in your calculations.

Our campusesThe University of Melbournes heart is in Parkville, where our main campus has been situated since 1854.
Only a few minutes from the centre of Melbourne, the Universitys Parkville campus combines contemporary architecture and sustainable design with historic sandstone buildings and many beautiful open spaces for students to enjoy. It is located within a renowned knowledge precinct, which includes eight hospitals, many leading research institutes and a wide range of knowledge-based industries.
The Southbank campus hosts the Victorian College of the Arts and part of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music (which is primarily based at the Parkville campus). Centrally located within Melbournes cultural and arts precinct, the campus sits alongside the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne Theatre Company, Melbourne Recital Centre, the Australian Ballet, Chunky Move dance company, the Arts Centre and the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.
The University has several other campuses located across Victoria that specialise in forest ecosystem science, agriculture, horticulture, rural health and veterinary science. They are situated in Burnley, Creswick, Dookie, Shepparton and Werribee.
STATE-OF-THE-ART LEARNING FACILITIESAs a student at Melbourne, youll have access to the most up-to-date teaching and learning methods available.
Our eLearning studios are designed for collaborative work in small groups and have PCs, laptop interconnectivity and data projectors.
We also have learning spaces specifically designed for particular disciplines, such as the Engineering Learning Lab which supports group and collaborative work, and the Law Moot Court which trains future lawyers in using technology to present their cases. Our biology labs are equipped with audiovisual equipment so that microscope, video and 35 mm slide images can be projected to television monitors, and the Information Systems Interaction Design, Evaluation and Analysis (IDEA) Laboratory is specially designed for conducting computer user-experience tests and interaction research.

The Melbourne differenceA world-class education from Australias number 1 university will be your ticket to the brightest future.
The world is changing. We live in a fast-paced global environment, where jobs are being created that until recently hadnt even been conceived of. Employers need recruits who can adapt to change and lead companies forward into unmapped territory. This means getting a world-class education one that will equip you to solve the problems of the future.
Thats why, in 2008, the University of Melbourne led the most significant curriculum reform ever seen in Australia. We moved beyond the traditional Australian education system, bringing our degrees in line with the best of international universities in North America, Europe and Asia and cementing our standing as one of the worlds leading universities.
Our priority is to help you realise your potential. With a degree from Melbourne, youll have the skills and knowledge you need to embrace new possibilities and exceed your own ambitions.
BECOME AN EXPERT IN YOUR FIELDFlexible yet focused, our degrees prepare you for a world of potential. Whether you already have your career path mapped out, or are open to new possibilities, you can tailor your education experience to suit your needs. You can focus on your chosen vocation from day one, or follow new and exciting career options as you discover them.
In your undergraduate (bachelors) degree, you will develop a deep understanding of a particular study area from first to third year. This core study area is called your major, or the depth component of your degree.
With more than 80 major fields of study to choose from, you can select a major that fits with your career aspirations and study it in depth to develop specialised knowledge.
Ill be industry ready
My undergraduate degree helped me prepare for what I suspect working in industry will be like. I had to work alongside student architects, urban planners and other engineers to solve complex interdisciplinary problems and come up with unique and balanced solutions.Fergie RomeroBachelor of Environments

GET AN EDGE WITH BREADTH Most of our degrees allow you to choose some subjects from outside your core study area. We call this the breadth component of your degree.
With breadth you can:
Develop your interests and discover new opportunities you might never have thought about before
Pursue a skill or passion, such as music
Study something youve always been interested in that isnt part of your major
Complement your core studies by learning to look at issues from a different angle
Work with students from different courses just as you would in the workplace.
Why choose breadth?We know that employers look for graduates who are adaptable and bring unique skills and knowledge to the workplace. With breadth, you can get an edge over your competitors by selecting subjects that complement your core study area, but allow you to view it from a different angle.
Studying biomedicine? You could choose a breadth subject from philosophy to help you understand the ethics of stem cell research.
Want to be a journalist? A marketing subject will help you learn how to pitch your writing to different audiences.
Breadth studies offered each year are subject to change and depend on the degree youre studying. See the University Handbook breadth pages for more information: http://breadth.unimelb.edu.au
Making the most of breadthWith so many different breadth studies to choose from, the options can seem overwhelming. Thats why we developed breadth tracks, which are sets of three
or more complementary subjects that expand your knowledge in an area of your choice.
Breadth tracks are not compulsory, but they can help you to get the most from your breadth studies, and ensure you can apply your learning to your core area of study.
MAPPING OUT YOUR COURSEMost degrees include the following types of subjects:
Compulsory subjects taken by all students enrolled in your degree
Major subjects taken by students studying your major
Elective subjects which you can choose to suit your interests, from a select list relating to your major
Breadth studies.
The detailed course information on pages 3773 includes sample course plans to give you an idea of how you might structure your degree. You choose your subjects once you are enrolled at the University, after seeking advice from your Student Centre at Academic Advice Day (in January or February).
CONCURRENT DIPLOMASOur concurrent diplomas allow you to study for an extra qualification alongside your degree. This can enhance your employability and allow you to develop detailed knowledge in an area outside your main area of study. We offer concurrent diplomas in the following areas:
Informatics Languages Mathematical Sciences Music (Practical) Global Issues.
See pages 7073 for more information.
Breadth opens up new ways of thinking
I chose the subject Music and Health as part of my breadth. My major assessment was on the effects of music on the immune system, which related back to my studies in the biosciences. It was great to be able to consider health from a completely different perspective.Tom WilsonBachelor of ScienceDoctor of Medicine

Graduate professional entry degrees
Melbournes graduate professional entry degrees give you a professional qualification at masters level. These programs offer intensive, focused study and professional knowledge making you job ready.
Designed with the needs of internationally mobile graduates in mind, these qualifications are endorsed by the Australian Government as pathways to professional employment in Australia. Many are also recognised by professional bodies around the world.
On graduation, youll be awarded a masters qualification in your chosen field. This is a higher level of qualification than you would gain studying a double or combined undergraduate bachelors degree at another university.
Graduate professional development degrees
These programs are ideal if youre already trained in a particular area and are looking to advance your knowledge through further graduate study. They can help you to increase your earning potential, get a promotion or move into a new career area.
To view the extensive range of graduate coursework degrees available, go to:
www.coursesearch.unimelb.edu.auCoursework degrees are structured courses that have set classes and assignments. Some coursework programs may include a small research project.
WHAT IS COURSEWORK?
DID YOU KNOW?
People with graduate qualifications are more likely to enter professional and managerial positions than those with bachelors degrees only. They also earn an average of $21 200 more per annum than their bachelors-qualified colleagues.
Beyond Graduation 2010, Graduate Careers Australia
After graduating from your bachelors degree you could:
Head straight into the workforce and begin your career
