Undergraduate courses

One of the main advantages of the new generation Melbourne degrees is that you can keep your options open when you choose your undergraduate degree. You are not locked into a particular career path from the outset.

New Generation degrees

Our undergraduate degrees offer more than 80 major fields of study in total. For your first degree, you can select one of six new generation undergraduate degrees:

Important information for very high achieving students; Chancellor's Scholars' Program, Changes to guaranteed pathways to graduate degrees

Each of these degrees allows you to study what you love - in depth, and expand on your knowledge - by choosing breadth.

You will develop detailed knowledge, skills and understanding in specific disciplines through the study of one or more majors from first to third year. We call the study of a major the 'depth' component of your degree.

You also have the opportunity to choose up to a quarter of your subjects from disciplines outside the core studies and majors in your degree. We call this the 'breadth' component of your degree, and it allows you to gain knowledge and understanding across a broader range of disciplines. To help you make the most of your breadth studies, the University has introduced 'tracks', approved sets of three or more subjects that progressively develop knowledge and skills relevant to the theme, topic or issue. More information about breadth tracks.

Concurrent diplomas

You can also enrol in a concurrent diploma alongside your New Generation degree — it offers you another way to follow your passion while you’re studying. We offer concurrent diplomas in the following areas:
