WHERE FUTURES COLLIDE WITH NOW Study with today’s brightest minds and uncover a tomorrow where your ideas shape the world.

As a University of Melbourne graduate student, you’ll study alongside the best and brightest students in an environment focused on research impact and relevance, underpinned by a comprehensive and world-leading discipline base.

You’ll be part of a university that is committed to contributing to society in ways that enrich and transform lives.

— Invest in your futureEmployers look for people with a demonstrated commitment to their chosen field, and who have that ’extra’ level of insight.

As a graduate of the University of Melbourne, you’ll be seen as a work-ready, self-directed learner with breadth and depth to your education.

Whether you’re choosing your first career, changing direction or gaining that competitive edge, our world-class research and coursework graduate programs offer a truly professionally relevant education that builds strong connections with community and industry, opening the door to an outstanding future.

“A key part of my role is directing two to three plays a year at the Melbourne Theatre Company. I have so far directed Other Desert Cities, The Crucible, Private Lives, The Speechmaker and The Sublime. In total these shows have been seen by over 100,000 Melburnians. My next project is the Samuel Beckett classic, Endgame, one of my favourite plays and a play that I first saw performed in the underground car park at the University.

“Your studies lay the foundations for your eventual career by introducing you to the great plays you might someday direct, whether it’s the following year in the University car park or 10 years’ time at the MTC.”

YOUR CITY

— Out and about Eat breakfast in a café, visit a gallery, spend the afternoon shopping, catch a train to the beach or find out why Melbourne is Australia’s sporting capital. Maybe you’d prefer to catch the latest show, or discover the best-kept secrets of our renowned music and arts scene. Or take a daytrip and explore the stunning natural beauty of Victoria.

— Where the city meets the campus On the northern fringe of the CBD, the University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus is a walk away from the famed cobblestone lanes, multicultural culinary delights, arts and culture, and world-class shopping of Melbourne.

At Southbank campus, in the city’s vibrant arts precinct, you’ll find the University’s acclaimed music, visual and performing arts faculty, while the heritage-listed gardens at Burnley campus, in Melbourne’s inner north, is the tranquil setting for horticultural studies.

Werribee campus, in the city’s west, boasts some of the world’s most advanced facilities at the University’s Animal Hospital, while further out of Melbourne are our three rural campuses at Dookie, Creswick and Shepparton.

Safe, friendly and vibrant, Melbourne has consistently ranked as the world’s most liveable city for the past five years.

“I am passionate about teaching young children and seeing them grow up with music as a big part of their lives. Finding the right teaching method for each child can be challenging – every individual is unique and different. There’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, so this course has certainly helped me to discover new ways of expanding on my teaching style.”

HOW TO APPLY: RESEARCHDOMESTIC STUDENTS

GRADUATE RESEARCH DEGREES

— Developing your research proposalSome graduate schools require a research proposal as part of your application. A research proposal is a document that states your research question, your area of research interest and how you propose to undertake your research.

To develop a successful proposal, you need to be familiar with current research in the area – identifying gaps in the research literature can be a way of finding an original research topic.

— Your supervisorYour supervisor will provide guidance and support throughout your research degree. A positive relationship with your supervisor is essential. Things to consider:

— Can you work together?

— Are your research interests aligned?

— Are you ready for a research degree?

— Does your proposed supervisor support your application?

Please note that support from a supervisor does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee a scholarship or financial assistance.

1— Investigate your optionsFind out about the graduate research opportunities and requirements for entry via the relevant school website:

FEES DOMESTIC STUDENTS

Your fees for graduate study will depend on your course and the type of enrolment or place you’re offered

The fee types for each course and an estimate of the fees payable are shown in the Graduate Schools and Courses section (pages 19–104).

— Australian Fee PlaceIf you’re enrolling in an Australian Fee Place, you’ll be charged tuition fees for each year that you are enrolled. Tuition fees are calculated according to your course and study load each semester.

You may defer payment of your fees via FEE-HELP if you are eligible (see page 110).

Tuition fees may be adjusted each year. More detailed fee information is available at:

futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/admissions/fees

— Your course feesWhere available, the fees listed in the course tables are for 2017. They should be used as a guide to the total amount you need to pay.

Note: If the duration of the course is one year or less, we have provided an estimate of the total program fee (assuming completion in 2017). For courses that cannot be completed in one year, the total program fee may include an indexation of the 2017 course fee. For courses of more than one year, the fee is an estimate for one year of study (100 credit points) in 2017. Tuition fees for the second and subsequent years may increase.

For courses administered by University of Melbourne Commercial, information on fees is available at:

commercial.unimelb.edu.au/students

—Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)If you are enrolled in a Commonwealth Supported Place, your tuition fees are subsidised by the Australian Government. You’ll pay a student contribution amount, which is determined each year by the government, and is based on the subjects you take, not the course you are studying.

You may defer payment of your student contribution amount via HECS-HELP if you are eligible (see page 110). In 2016 the student contribution amounts for study at the University of Melbourne ranged from $6044 to $10 085 per year for full-time enrolment. For further details about calculating your student contribution amount, go to:

futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/grad-csp

— Research Training Scheme (RTS)Most domestic graduate research students are enrolled under the Research Training Scheme, which is funded by the Australian Government.

If you are enrolled under the RTS you are exempt from tuition fees for the normal duration of your course. This exemption is valid for up to four years for students enrolled in a doctoral program and up to two years for a research masters degree.

RTS-funded places are available to Australian citizens, permanent residents and New Zealand citizens accepted into the Doctor of Philosophy, Master of Philosophy, doctorates by research or masters by research.

— Student Services and Amenities FeeUnder current Australian Government regulations, universities may charge students a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). Further information is available at:

futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/admissions/fees/SSAF

— Other costsOther costs to consider include general course costs (such as textbooks, art materials, lab coats), club memberships, Student Union activities and Melbourne University Sport services.

FEE ASSISTANCE DOMESTIC STUDENTS

There is plenty of assistance available to help pay for graduate study and alleviate financial pressures while you’re studying.

— Australian Government HELP loans

FEE-HELP: For students in an Australian Fee PlaceFEE-HELP is a loan scheme that helps eligible Australian fee-paying students (full time or part time) pay their graduate tuition fees.

FEE-HELP can cover all or part of your tuition fees. The Australian Government pays the amount of the loan direct to the University. You’ll make repayments on your loan through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) whenever your income is above the threshold, or you can make a voluntary repayment to the ATO at any time.

FEE-HELP is not means-tested and there is no loan fee for graduate study. If you already have a HECS-HELP loan from your undergraduate studies, you can still access a FEE-HELP loan.

Is interest charged on my loan?No, you are not charged interest on your FEE-HELP loan. However, it is indexed each year with the Consumer Price Index (CPI), in line with the cost of living.

HECS-HELP: For students in a Commonwealth Supported PlaceHECS-HELP is a loan scheme that allows eligible domestic students in a Commonwealth Supported Place to defer their student contribution payments.

In the HECS-HELP scheme the Australian Government pays your student contribution amount. You only repay your HECS-HELP loan once your income meets the threshold. A HECS-HELP loan is not means-tested.

SA-HELP: For students required to pay SSAFSA-HELP is a loan scheme that helps eligible students pay for all or part of their Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF). Eligible students can defer SSAF payments through SA-HELP.
