"My Melbourne Arts degree has enabled me to seek, learn, explore and, most importantly, given me the confidence to choose 'the road less travelled'. Arts has sharpened my research and communication skills, and increased my enthusiasm for critical thinking. It has been a privilege to be taught by some of the best, most passionate and inspiring educators."

"Melbourne University's Environmental Program enables me to undertake courses from a wide array of departments, allowing me to explore various aspects of the environment, from a technical to a philosophical viewpoint. Plus, the Office for Environmental Programs is always in touch with the participants' goals, is always accessible, and is accommodating to our needs." |
"Coming to Melbourne University to do my music degree has been the best decision I've made so far in my music education. The course caters to my interests and has such a broad scope that it doesn't matter what specialisation one wants to go into: they've got it covered. Having to fit in here was also a breeze as the cultural diversity in the faculty welded everyone into one big family." |

"My Arts degree explores local and international media industries, and allows me to gain theoretical knowledge alongside hands-on experience in journalistic writing and public relations. I will also be undertaking an internship at a magazine publishing house in Indonesia during the University holidays. Studying at Melbourne is an incredible experience, and I have met some of the friendliest and most inspiring people on campus." |
"One of the best things about being a PhD student here is the mentorship from supervisors who are internationally recognised. I also undertake my research in a supportive study environment, with academic staff who are committed to ensuring a positive student experience. I can also tap into a network of highly qualified scientists and researchers from around the globe." |
