Other professional graduate programs
From 2008, the University of Melbourne will introduce a range of new graduate professional programs which qualify students for professional registration/employment and provide a pathway to higher research degrees. From 2008-2012 at least 50% of designated places in each course will be offered as 'Commonwealth Supported Places' (CSP).
Students enrolling in graduate professional programs will be required to have completed a suitable undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne or other recognised university. The graduate programs will offer highly competitive and specialised professional graduate education in a range of disciplines.
The advantages of graduate professional education are many. Studying in a graduate group offers the opportunity to gain a mature and detailed understanding of relevant subject areas before committing to a particular profession. It also allows participation in a rigorous and highly-specialised learning experience.
Students can benefit from the University's strong links to industry, community and
professional bodies. Access to internships, mentor programs and career support services are also available.
