Undergraduate study Build a degree around your interests and strengths At the University of Melbourne, you’ll be empowered to direct your own learning experience. Our curriculum enables you to explore your passions and strengths, while giving you the flexibility to specialise when you’re ready.

Aligned with leading universities across Europe, North America and Asia, our course structure encourages you to develop both well-rounded skills and deep expertise in your chosen discipline. You’ll graduate with a globally recognised qualification as well as the knowledge and experience to make an impact in your career, wherever that may take you.

How it works You start with a three-year bachelors degree.

Once completed, you can enter the workforce with a deep knowledge base and career ready skill set. Or, go on to gain advanced training through graduate coursework or research.

Choose your undergraduate degree We offer seven bachelors degrees in the Melbourne curriculum – arts, biomedicine, commerce, design, fine arts, music, and science – covering over 100 different study areas. We also offer specialist degrees in agriculture and oral health, where everything you study is structured for your chosen discipline.

Choose a major Making up one third of your subjects, a major is the subject area you’ll focus on during your undergraduate degree. Each degree has a different set of majors. For example, if you’re studying a Bachelor of Design, you might choose to major in architecture or construction. Or in a Bachelor of Commerce, you might pick a major in management or finance. In some of our courses, you can choose to do a double major.

In your first year you can focus on your major straight away or explore other subjects before deciding on what major you want to pursue.

Discovery subjects Designed to support your introduction to university, Discovery subjects are core first-year subjects within each undergraduate degree that offer varying experiences and delivery modes. These subjects connect your studies to outside the classroom, showing you how your degree can address real-world problems.
