How to Study Abroad in Melbourne
Subjects
Melbourne is home to several accredited institutions, including, but not limited to, the University of Melbourne, Monash University, RMIT University, Victoria University, and La Trobe University. Needless to say, students can choose from just about any subject and major of study in Melbourne, and select from some of the world’s top ranked universities.
Courses are taught in English and are comparable to classes in many Western countries. Most universities operate on a two semester schedule, each with 12 teaching weeks, from early March to early May, and late July to late October. Most study abroad programs in Melbourne are offered for a semester or a full year, with options for summer study abroad as well.
Whether students take business classes at the University of Melbourne, computer science at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), or study history and culture at Monash University, Melbourne has a program for everyone.
Life in Melbourne
Some of the world’s best coffee, awe-inspiring street art, and sporting events are all part of daily life for students studying abroad in Melbourne. Referred to as Australia’s cultural capital, there is also no shortage of parks, museums, eateries, and so much more to explore - and getting there is easy too. Melbourne is home to the world’s largest tramway, which serves as the city’s comprehensive and easy-to-navigate public transit system. Buses, trains, and taxis are also available for traveling short and long distances.
Melburnians are friendly and laid-back, and usually very proud and loyal to Melbourne, as there is somewhat of an in-country rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney, both claiming to be the best place to live in Australia. If an abundance of art, quirky boutiques, and delectable bakeries puts Melbourne ahead of Sydney, then they just might be right!
Scholarships & Costs
Studying abroad in Melbourne can range in costs, but in general living costs are quite high in Australia. Students should be prepared to pay a bit more for daily living costs in Australia, as opposed to in their home country, such as the U.S. or Canada. However, the extra money spent will be well worth the added experiences.
For students in need of financial assistance to study in Melbourne, have no fear! Check out GoAbroad’s Scholarship Directory for study abroad in Australia.
Accommodation & Visas
Accommodations are most often included in study abroad programs in Melbourne, and include a dormitory in a campus residence hall or a shared apartment. Campus housing is comfortable and encouraged, to help international students meet local students and enjoy campus life. Students should check with their program provider and host university for specific accommodation details, as well as if any meals are included. Student visas are required for students who want to study abroad in Australia. Ask your provider if they will help with obtaining your visa and they should be able to provide you with a checklist and any needed documents.
Benefits & Challenges
Living and studying in Melbourne will prove to be a rewarding and unforgettable experience for many students. While every country requires some discovery and adjustment, Australia is usually an easy transition for most. Students should employ common sense and be aware of their surroundings in any major city, but know that Melbourne is considered safe and family friendly. Melbourne offers students a unique chance to study abroad at a top ranked university, while living in a top ranked city. Between academics and the vibrant culture, students are sure to find value in studying abroad in Melbourne.
