The student experience
What's it like at the University? We'll let the students tell you themselves.
"Having come through the Foundation Studies programme at Trinity College, I was well prepared for the challenge of University education. However, I would describe my time at the University of Melbourne as a rewarding journey. The excellent tutors and lecturers ensured I had all the assistance necessary to succeed in my studies, while the strong social network resulted in life-long friendships. The foundation stones laid by my Bachelor of Arts degree ensured a smooth transition into my further studies in Advertising and positioned me for future success in the industry." |
"Being a Commerce student at Melbourne University opened my eyes to a variety of courses within the Faculty of Economics and Commerce. I was able to find a major that was more suited to my interests through the broad range of subjects offered. The staff have given me the confidence to know what I want to achieve and, most importantly, how to get it." |
