be Brunswick Street, which is home Study abroad and exchange to alternative clothing stores, heaps of small music venues, and a restaurant called Bimbos that sold $4 brick-oven pizza in a cool nightclub setting with good music and comfy couches.”

7 YOUR STUDIES

The University of Melbourne’s study abroad and exchange program is flexible, allowing you to choose undergraduate and graduate subjects from most degree programs across our schools and faculties (dependent on meeting subject prerequisites).

— How many subjects can I take? You are required to take three to four subjects while at Melbourne to equal a total credit load of 37.5 to 50 points (each subject is usually worth 12.5 credit points). While you may have fewer contact hours than in your home institution, the demands placed on you to learn independently outside the classroom makes the workload equivalent to that which most students experience at home. For each subject, you usually attend a combination of large lectures and small group tutorials or laboratory classes. Contact hours vary depending on the subjects you choose, but are usually between 12–18 hours per week.
