Melbourne Graduate Access Bursaries

The University of Melbourne is expanding our successful Access Melbourne scheme to include graduate professional degrees.

From 2008 - 2012 at least 50 percent of designated places in each course will be offered as Commonwealth supported places. Of these Commonwealth supported places, a minimum of 20 percent will be allocated to Graduate Access Melbourne applicants.

Graduate Access Melbourne provides access to applicants whose personal circumstances have had a sustained adverse effect on their academic achievement at undergraduate level or who are members of a specified group known to be underrepresented in higher education.

Melbourne Graduate Access Bursaries will be awarded annually to eligible Graduate Access Melbourne applicants enrolling in graduate professional degrees. Payment of the Graduate Access Bursary cannot be deferred.
