Access Melbourne 2008
What is Access Melbourne?
The University of Melbourne is committed to significantly increasing the number of students from educationally, financially or socially disadvantaged backgrounds enrolling in undergraduate programs. Access Melbourne is a combined special entry and access scholarships scheme designed to increase participation of students from diverse backgrounds.
One thousand of the University's new undergraduate Commonwealth supported places will be offered to students who have applied through Access Melbourne. In addition, many of these students will be awarded a Melbourne Access Scholarship.
Access Melbourne enhances opportunities for selection into a course as it provides prospective students with the opportunity to explain the ongoing circumstances that have affected their chance of gaining a place at the University of Melbourne.
The University provides a wide range of student services to support students throughout their studies. Full details are available from the Unilife Directory.
