The Melbourne Model - meeting the needs of contemporary university students
The Melbourne Model is a distinctive curriculum that gives students a wider understanding of the world beyond their degree.
With a breadth and depth of knowledge gained while studying, graduate employability is ranked No. 7 globally*, meaning students are prepared for every possible future.
Our six core undergraduate degrees (Arts, Biomedicine, Commerce, Design, Music or Science) offer students a choice from over 100 majors.
Students can then head straight into their career, or continue on for graduate study with over 270 degrees to choose from.
So how is the Australia first model looking ten years on since its inception?
“I believe the Melbourne Model meets the needs to contemporary university students – our future careers are not set in stone, so why should our degrees not have the flexibility to explore other fields of study?” says Charlotte Smith who studied a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Teaching via the Melbourne Model.
The Melbourne Model connects students with each other, the community and the wider world.
There are a range of opportunities to engage with organisations, through internships, applied research projects and overseas study programs.
The University of Melbourne is ranked No. 32 in the world and No. 1 in Australia^. 93% of our graduates are employed within four months of graduating#.
Each year more than 250 Australian and international organisations – including IBM, KPMG and PwC – visit campus to entice our students with graduate job opportunities.
Today's workplace demands forward-thinking graduates who are skilled and resilient, with a broad outlook and collaborative approach. This is what the Melbourne Model delivers.
