Work out what you enjoy
Initially I thought breadth would be a waste of time, but I took a breadth subject in Genetics and Ethics and it was great. I think its important to get a broad education and have time to work out what you enjoy doing. Bridget Bishop Bachelor of Biomedicine Major in Anatomy and Physiology Doctor of Medicine Melbourne National Scholarship
Melbourne students Hon Weng Chong, Andrew Lin, Kim Ramchen and Mahsa Salehi became national superstars when they won the Australian finals of the Microsoft Imagine Cup competition in 2012. The prestigious competition requires student teams to devise projects that will help tackle some of the worlds toughest problems. Our students developed the StethoCloud an intelligent, cloud-powered, mobile-hybrid stethoscope that is able to diagnose childhood pneumonia. The device could potentially save countless lives if implemented in the developing world. The team was awarded a $75 000 grant to continue evolving their project into a real-world business.

The major opens up careers in infectious diseases, diagnostics, molecular biology, biotechnology, vaccinology, biosafety and regulation, as well as providing a pathway to graduate research into infectious agents, their genes, the underlying mechanisms of infectious disease and diseases associated with the immune system. It also provides a basis for further study in medicine and other paramedical disciplines. This major is also available in the Bachelor of Science.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology is the use of biological knowledge to develop new processes and products for use in industry, health, agribusiness and other areas of human technology. Biotechnology advances can be based on knowledge from biological sciences, chemical sciences, physical sciences or engineering. This major provides you with knowledge about how the products of scientific research are commercialised, as well as training in a relevant discipline area. As such, the major is not tied to a particular discipline area but will enable you to develop technology from basic discipline knowledge in at least one area of biomedical science. This major is also available in the Bachelor of Science.
MICROBIOLOGY AND Q IMMUNOLOGY

This major combines the study of infectious microbial agents, predominantly bacteria and viruses, with the study of immune response. It opens up careers in infectious disease, diagnostics, molecular biology, biotechnology, vaccinology, antimicrobial chemotherapeutics, biosafety and regulation, as well as graduate research into infectious agents, their genes, the mechanisms of disease and the immune system. It also provides a basis for further study in medicine and other paramedical disciplines. This major is also available in the Bachelor of Science.
Modern healthcare and medical research are information-intensive activities. This major introduces you to the interdisciplinary field of health and biomedical informatics, and the core principles and practices of the expert health informatician.

How to study Psychology at Melbourne

At Melbourne, psychology is studied as an accredited major sequence in the Bachelor of Arts, Science or Commerce, or as individual breadth studies in most degrees. Psychology is not offered as an independent undergraduate degree. Instead, the option to study psychology in conjunction with other undergraduate subjects gives you the opportunity to broaden your subject selection, expertise and possible career outcomes. No additional prerequisites are required to study psychology in first year, once you meet the entry requirements for your chosen undergraduate degree.
Fourth year or honours in psychology

The fourth-year program in psychology can be undertaken through an Arts or Science honours degree or the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology, all of which are accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). The fourth-year program helps you acquire the knowledge, skills and research necessary to achieve excellence in psychology. Application to the honours program is open to graduates of the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science (or equivalent) with an APAC-accredited three-year sequence in psychology (or equivalent). Entry to the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology is open to graduates with a bachelors degree (or equivalent qualification) that includes an APACaccredited three-year sequence in psychology (or equivalent).

Entry requirements
Entry requirements notes

Q Domestic students: Applicants who achieve the minimum ATAR for a course will be eligible for a place, provided prerequisite studies and any other specific course requirements are met. The Clearly-in Rank may be higher depending on demand for the course and the number of places available. Only applicants eligible for special entry schemes will be admitted below the minimum ATAR. Minimum ATARs are reviewed annually. W Students who achieve an ATAR/notional ATAR of 99.90 or above and satisfy course prerequisites will be guaranteed a place in the Chancellors Scholars Program. Students with an ATAR/notional ATAR below 99.90 may be considered depending on demand. Students must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification or the IB in Australia in the year prior to entry (students must either enrol immediately or be granted a deferral in the year following Year 12). E International students: The University guarantees admission to a course when an international student achieves the required score, meets prerequisite studies, satisfies the English language requirements, and there are still places available in the course at the time of acceptance. If you do not meet the guaranteed score your application will not be considered for entry. Guaranteed scores apply only if no further study has been undertaken after completion of one of these programs. Guaranteed ATARs are reviewed annually. For updates visit: futurestudents.unimelb. edu.au/entry-req/ugrad-int Domestic students completing an international qualification: The score listed should be considered a minimum score to be eligible for a place in that course. The standard required for entry may be higher depending on demand for the course and the number of Commonwealth Supported Places available. T Scores are indicative only entry is not guaranteed. Y Applicants intending to progress to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine are encouraged to complete VCE Units 3 and 4 in Chemistry, or equivalent. U Accepted GCE AS and A Level English subjects are: General Paper, General Studies, English Language and Literature, English Literature, English Language.
