The Melbourne Model is ten this year and the university is adapting and developing the product for changing times. In 2019, the University of Melbourne will launch Graduate Degree Packages. “You can enrol in your desired undergraduate and graduate study pathway immediately after school – with the flexibility of withdrawing at any point if you want to,” UniMelb announces.

“You’ll start your undergraduate degree with the security of knowing a graduate place is waiting for you.”

Some 41 masters-bachelor combinations will be available.

It’s a great and painless way for the university to maximise the number of students doing the full bachelors-professional masters model.

In contrast, the arts faculty at the University of Adelaide will pay eligible undergraduates at other universities $3000, plus course credit to transfer.
