We encourage domestic students to explore eligibility for Graduate Access Melbourne (GAM). GAM offers an opportunity for admission to this course even if your tertiary marks are below the standard entry requirements. GAM applicants may also be considered for financial bursaries and Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) where available.
GAM categories include coming from a rural area, being an Indigenous Australian, experiencing financial hardship or personal difficulties, having refugee status, or living with a disability or medical condition. In assessing applications, we look to balance opportunity and your capacity to succeed.
Advanced Standing
If you are coming from another institution, you may be eligible to receive credit for up to one year and enter the 2-year course. Exact credit can only be determined on application.
In order for credit to be assessed, students who have graduated from an institution other than the University of Melbourne must supply an official syllabus or subject description of all technical subjects studied at their previous institution of study.
Ensure your syllabus contains as much detail as possible. Applications for additional credit will not be considered unless there has been a major change to your transcript.
