DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES MAJORGain practical skills and knowledge in the fundamentals of digital technology, focusing on algorithmic, data-oriented and web-based techniques. You’ll build an understanding of how these techniques can be applied to digital design formats, including web-based media, mobile media and interactive technologies.

STUDENT EXPERIENCEThroughout your degree, you’ll have the opportunity to work on a variety of app design projects, from an app that recommends nearby restaurants or lets you see what you’d look like with different hairstyles! In your final year you’ll develop a technology innovation proposal and learn to build a supporting business case. Your proposal will focus on a new interactive technology, or a new way to apply an existing one.

YOUR CAREERApply your design expertise as an account manager, digital strategist, mobile app designer, multimedia programmer, search engine optimiser, UX designer, social media developer or web designer.

Want a career where you control the robots? Mechatronics is a blend of mechanical, electrical and software engineering, and the key to a ‘smart’ and connected future.

MECHATRONICSENGINEERING

“For me, the main benefit of the Melbourne Model was being able to learn more than simply engineering. I knew I wanted to do engineering, but I was always curious about aspects outside it. I ended up taking a couple of philosophy subjects which interested me a lot.

I chose mechatronics because I liked the idea of combining three different systems: mechanical, software and electrical.”

YOUR STUDY OPTIONS

1. Graduate Degree PackageEnrol into both a University of Melbourne bachelors degree and Master of Engineering degree through VTAC. Graduate Degree Packages into the Master of Engineering are available through the Bachelors of Biomedicine, Commerce, Design and Science for students who achieve a 96.00 ATAR or above. This option guarantees your Commonwealth Supported Place* (CSP) or international fee place into the Master of Engineering.

2. Bachelor of Biomedicine, Design, or ScienceTo be eligible for the two-year Master of Engineering, choose an engineering major in the Bachelor of Biomedicine, Design or Science. As a Melbourne graduate, you’ll be guaranteed a CSP* or international fee place into the Master of Engineering if you achieve a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 65% or higher in your bachelors degree.

3. Bachelor of CommerceHigh-achieving students can enrol in the Bachelor of Commerce/Master of Engineering Graduate Degree Package. You will be guaranteed a Commonwealth Supported Place or international fee place into the three-year Master of Engineering, provided you meet the maths and science entry requirements. GDP students will be allowed to complete all four prerequisite subjects as breadth.

Commerce students not on a Graduate Degree Package can take one maths and two science subjects as breadth. Provided you maintain a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 65%, you may then complete the final maths subject via the Community Access Program (CAP) free of charge.

4. Any bachelor degreeIf you study any University of Melbourne undergraduate degree without an engineering major you are still guaranteed a CSP* or international fee place in the Master of Engineering, Master of Information Technology or Master of Information Systems provided you achieve a WAM of 65% or higher in your bachelors degree, and meet the prerequisite requirements. If you follow this path, you’ll be eligible for the three-year Master of Engineering or the two year Master of Information Technology or Master of Information Systems.

*see page 40 for CSP eligibility

5. Melbourne Chancellor’s ScholarshipThe Melbourne Chancellor’s Scholarship guarantees high-achieving students entry into the Master of Engineering. It is available to students who complete Year 12 or the International Baccalaureate (IB) in Australia and who achieve an ATAR of 99.90 or higher.

International studentsInternational students studying an Australian Year 12 or IB in Australia must apply through VTAC.

All other international students, including those undertaking foundation studies in Australia, must apply directly to the University or through one of our overseas representatives.

NON-SCHOOL LEAVER ENTRY PATHWAYAs a non-school leaver, you may not have a recent study history and therefore may not meet the standard entry requirements for the course of your choice. The non-school leaver entry pathway provides mature-age applicants and those who are not entering direct from Year 12 an alternative way to demonstrate their eligibility for entry and their likelihood to succeed in their chosen course.

access.unimelb.edu.au/nsl

GUARANTEED ENTRYIf you complete your undergraduate degree at the University of Melbourne and achieve a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 65%, you are guaranteed a Commonwealth Supported Place (domestic students) or an international fee place (international students), for the Master of Engineering, Master of Information Systems or Master of Information Technology, regardless of your ATAR1.

SCHOLARSHIPSThe University of Melbourne offers a range of generous scholarships. Students are considered for relevant scholarships at the time of their course offer, and no separate application is required.

scholarships.unimelb.edu.au

COMMONWEALTH SUPPORTED PLACES (CSPS)Domestic students and the Australian Commonwealth Government share the cost of tuition. Student contribution is based on the subjects you enrol in, rather than the overall course.

studyassist.gov.au/sites/studyassist/ helppayingmyfees/csps/pages/student-contribution-amounts

HECS-HELPHECS-HELP is a loan scheme that allows eligible domestic students in a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) to defer their student contribution payments. In the HECS-HELP scheme the Australian Government pays your student contribution amount. You only repay your HECS-HELP loan once your income meets the threshold.
