interested in. You’ll combine subjects within
your discipline and outside of it too – giving
you a breadth of knowledge that sets you
apart. By the time you choose your major,
you’ll be well informed.

become your major, while remaining flexible
enough to explore. Second year is great for
going on exchange, leading clubs, building
industry networks and getting into lots of fun
activities.

WHAT IS ‘BREADTH’?
A subject taken from outside your core studies
or major. Most University of Melbourne
undergraduates are required to take
breadth subjects.
Breadth will allow you to tailor your course to fit
your individual passions and career ambitions.
Some students find that taking a breadth
subject ignites a passion they’d never known
about. Others use breadth to improve
their career prospects with a language,
communication skills, or business know-how.
‘Breadth tracks’ (groups of subjects taken
throughout your degree) may even qualify you
for graduate study in a field that’s very different
to your major.
CONCURRENT DIPLOMAS
Study an extra qualification alongside your
degree. Enhance your employability and
develop detailed knowledge in an area outside
your main area of study.
We offer four concurrent diplomas:
• Diploma in Computing
• Diploma in Languages
• Diploma in Mathematical Sciences
• Diploma in Music
High-achieving students may be able to
complete their degree and concurrent
diploma within the three years of their
degree, but studying a concurrent diploma
typically will add six months or a year to your
undergraduate full-time studies.
