Global Issues Program: How To Apply
The Global Issues Program is administered by a coordinator, based at the University of Melbourne in Melbourne Global Mobility. Interested students can contact the coordinator directly or apply via the Universitas 21 website.
University of Melbourne applicants can choose a four-subject Certificate format, which allows articulation to an eight-subject Diploma. Applicants must satisfy the following selection criteria:
• be concurrently enrolled in an undergraduate degree course at the University of Melbourne; and
• have obtained a weighted grade point average of at least H2B (70%) across all subjects so far completed in the concurrent degree course; and
• have completed at least 100 points of study in the concurrent degree course; and
• be at least six months (50 credit points) away from completing the concurrent degree course when applying for the Certificate.
Once enrolled, students may not graduate from the Global Issues Program until their degree studies have also been completed. Students will be enrolled in the Program on the same fee-paying basis as their degree course; there is no special fee for participation. Places in the Program are limited to 50 students per year and applications are assessed on a competitive basis.
Students enrolled in an Honours program are ineligible to commence the Program. Students enrolled in a bachelor degree program that is being taught out may not be eligible to commence the Program.
University of Melbourne applicants must apply by Friday 13th November, 2009 for studies commencing January-March 2010. Visit the Universitas 21 website to apply.
