Equity and Access at Melbourne University

There have been many concerns about equity and access under the Melbourne Model. Please share your experiences or concerns here.

The 'Dreamlarge' Campaign

The advertising campaign to encourage people to study at Melbourne University has been launched. What are your thoughts on how the University is 'selling' Growing Esteem?

The Victorian College of the Arts

The undergraduate courses at the Victorian College of the Arts are being scraped. They will be placed with a single generic Fine Arts degree, with specialisation only available at a postgraduate level. How will Growing Esteem impact on talent based selection schools?

Educational Merits of Growing Esteem

On Friday 30 March the Australian newspaper reported the University of Melbourne Vice Chancellor Glyn Davis as saying "There's no argument inside this institution about the educational merits of what we're doing," Do you believe Growing Esteem will improve education for students?

Economic Rationalism of Education

How is the economic rationalism behind certain course restructures
impacting upon your day-to-day student experience?

The Cost of a Post Graduate Degree

Would the extra cost of having to complete a post graduate degree make
you reconsider a specialised degree? Indeed, would you consider attending
another institution in preference of complete specialist bachelor degrees,
and existing double degrees?

Creative Arts Students Unable to Complete Majors

Creative arts is being closed down, but the university promised a ‘teach out’ of current students and even took in first years this year without informing them that their subject choices would be severely limited. In fact, there is no choice at all for first years with only 8 subjects being offered this year. Other students are unable to complete their majors due to subject cuts and some students are rocking up to lectures only to realize the lecture no longer exists.
