As a part of the application process, you will need to nominate subjects that you wish to study during your time at Melbourne. It is important that what you learn at Melbourne matches with what you would have studied at your home institution. You must have your home institution’s approval on their intended Study Abroad Program to ensure smooth credit transfer on your return.
Engineering's Study Abroad and Exchange Adviser can liaise with the School’s academic advisers to determine whether you have sufficient background to undertake the nominated subjects.
- If you are intending to study two or more subjects in Engineering, you must nominate at least 75 points (usually 6 x 12.5 point subjects) worth of subjects from any area when you apply in order to avoid potential timetabling problems when you enrol.
- Indicate on your application which subjects, if any, are essential for you to take.
- Where prerequisites are listed for your preferred University of Melbourne subjects please provide descriptions of subjects previously completed, or an online link to the subject descriptions.
