During my honours year
I have been supervised by
a number of researchers
who have really shaped my
project and helped me tackle
challenges that have arisen. I
have really enjoyed my time at

Guaranteed entry into
graduate degrees
The University of Melbourne provides guaranteed entry pathways into
graduate study for domestic and international students who complete
an Australian Year 12 or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma
in Australia in 2013. To be eligible, you need to enrol in a University of
Melbourne undergraduate degree immediately following Year 12, or be
granted a deferral by the University.
If you achieve an ATAR/notional ATAR of 99.90 or above you’ll be
guaranteed a place in the graduate degree of your choice (subject to
meeting the prerequisites of the graduate degree) on completion of your
undergraduate course. The guarantee applies to our professional entry
masters degrees, including the University’s fagship graduate degrees
such as the Doctor of Medicine, Juris Doctor (Law), Doctor of Dental
Surgery, Doctor of Optometry, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Master
of Architecture. No minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) is required in the
undergraduate degree. You’ll also be eligible to enrol in our Chancellor’s
Scholars Program for your undergraduate study – see page 23.
If you achieve an ATAR/notional ATAR of 96.00 to 99.85 you’ll be
guaranteed a place in a range of professional entry masters qualifcations
(subject to meeting the prerequisites), as long as you achieve a Grade Point
Average (GPA) of 65 per cent or higher in your undergraduate degree.
If you achieve an ATAR below 96.00 you may be eligible for a range of other
guarantees. Some are based on an ATAR requirement, while others are
based entirely on your performance at University.
Some exclusions apply. For the list of applicable courses, go to:
