Uni Melbourne

Flexible yet focused, Melbourne's 3-year undergraduate degrees equip students to solve the problems of the future. Whether they already have their career path mapped out, or are open to new possibilities, students can tailor their studies to suit their interests and goals.

First year

Your first year is your chance to explore, whether it's your chosen path, or a brand new one. Alongside compulsory subjects, you can choose from a wide variety of disciplines. You can even study overseas in your first winter break.

Second year

In second year, you'll focus by choosing your major, if you haven't already, and can also choose to follow a 'breadth track'. That's how an Arts student can qualify for the Doctor of Medicine, or a Commerce student can become an engineer.

Third year

By third year, you'll achieve a high level of specialisation in your chosen major. You'll be ready to take part in a ‘capstone’ experience, aimed at consolidating your learning and preparing you for your career.
