and study sessions. You‘ll enjoy amazing new
experiences and meet new people from all over the
globe who will provide you with new perspectives.
HONE YOUR LEADERSHIP
AND VOLUNTEERING SKILLS
The University of Melbourne encourages
you to hone or develop your leadership
skills, and form connections with
fellow students and the wider
community. Highly valued by employers,
volunteering is a great way to acquire
new skills and expand your network.
STUDY ABROAD AND

Studying overseas is a great way to
immerse yourself in a completely
different social, cultural and intellectual
environment and get a truly international
experience during your studies.
As a student at Melbourne, you can
study at some of the world‘s most
prestigious institutions. You‘ll gain a
whole new perspective on how your
discipline is practised elsewhere in
the world. Best of all, you‘ll have an
amazing time.
