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.”

Sam Strong (Australia), previously Director at Melbourne Theatre Company, now Artistic Director at Queensland Theatre Company (BA (Hons) LLB (Hons); Graduate Diploma in Dramatic Art (Directing)

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.”

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

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).

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.

HOW TO APPLY: RESEARCHINTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

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.

— 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 support.

manage this process for you).
