Hi, im curious if this planner is manageable and doable? Thanks in advance

Hey! last time I made a post on this reddit I was deliberating on whether I should go to unimelb and now I am deliberating how to end it haha.

Id consider myself a pretty under-average performing student at least in the bbmed sphere, I seem to have like next to no interest in studying the traditional way and have CRAZYYY focus issues. My wam has been dragged through the dirt and is standing just slightly over 75 at the end of 2nd year. First year I had a lot more confidence that things might get better, with biol being 79, chem being 85 and so forth (biom was a 70 LMAOO). So coming into 2nd year I thought heck, maybe it was the lack of understanding on how to study or just being far too anxious but actually first sem, underloading with mcb I got a subject grade of 65!!! GRAHHH tbf there were many life circumstances that occurred during that time which caused me to miss school, and assessments along with just being very busy at work (around 30-38 hours a week at the time) so I kinda brushed it off because my japanese and auslan were carrying my wam up... hw recently receiving my results and just staring at my measly 70 in hsf and a SKULL SHATTERING 58 IN PHRM20001 (MY INTENDED MAJOR BTW) I just like completely zoned out... my japanese grade was fine which put my averages back into the 70's territory but I feel like it doesn't matter since its unrelated to my intended course outcome... sorry for the load of yap.

TLDR; my lack of confidence over one subject (pharmacology) that was my TO-BE major has thrown me off the rails. What should I do for my 3rd year that opens up employment opportunities and isn't extremely difficult.

My Goals Post Uni: Employment of some sort which is all I care about so far. (reasoning is I pay for uni upfront on my own so seeing my money go to waste would crush my mental) -> I also have a dream of teaching english in japan hw it is kinda stunted by a variety of life-circumstances.

what do we think of this combo? is it manageable and realistic?

Hi all,

I'm a bit confused about how the PhD offers vs RTP stipend/scholarship works.

I've just received an offer for my PhD in which RTP is listed under "fee type". But from what I've heard, this just refers to the tuition fee offset and the RTP scholarship (stipend) is awarded separately.

Can anyone confirm that? And if so, how long does it typically take for RTP scholarship offers to be released after PhD offers come out?

Thanks in advance!

I applied for exchange next year semester 2 2025, and unfortunately with the changes in IFA2 no longer being available in the summer, I'll likely have to take all three accounting subjects in the first semester. I was wondering if anyone has any tips? I'll be only be doing these three subjects for most of the semester (doing a short term breadth).

To prevent thread after thread of extra grad tickets requests please use this thread.

I'm a Master of International Relations student enrolled in the minor thesis option. I'm still yet to receive my result and the WH Extension is showing up for the thesis subjects on my results page.

Today, I received an email saying I won't be able to graduate at the upcoming ceremony because my results are yet to be finalised (this was the explicit wording). I'm also overseas rn and am unlikely to be able to effectively contact stop 1 until the 6th of December. Thankfully, I am not an international student as I can only imagine the additional stress situations like this would cause if people had to head home or had family coming over for ceremonies.

Additional context to note:

My supervisor was both the subject and program coordinator and, in my final supervision meeting, he said my thesis was the strongest he'd supervised since coming to the university (I'm not flexing here. I'm just noting that it's unlikely that there was anything wrong with the thesis itself).

I have received no communication from the university or anyone else since submission that there was any form of misconduct and, in my time at the uni – undergrad and postgrad – I have never committed any form of misconduct.

Extensions were widely granted across the program and I believe a uniform extension of a week ended up being applied to every student because the due date was extremely early this year (I still submitted on time).

I have contacted my supervisor and I am confident he will respond soon, particularly given we had a great supervision relationship, he's the program coordinator, and he's been very responsive in the past (I'm largely posting here because I'm stressed and wanted to see if anyone else has has had similar experiences).

I know some students have received both feedback and their marks.

I was doing a concurrent graduate diploma with my masters and the results for this released and tabulated fine.

My topic was quite specialised and focused on the policy of a particular country in the context of a very specific historic event. Perhaps this has affected their ability to find and coordinate the marking process. Again though, idk how that side of it works.

For anyone who has been in similar situations, what forms of recourse did you pursue and how did you get this resolved? Hopefully, my supervisor can sort things out, but, if not, I'd like to know where to start.

More broadly, I'm extremely stressed, disenchanted, and frankly pretty fucking furious about this whole situation. I feel betrayed by the institution where I've been a model student for 6 years. The fact this has happened feels like a sort of twisted metaphor for my entire university experience which has been punctuated by general neglect and institutional failure during covid, plummeting educational standards, administrative incompetence and the lackadaisical attitude of the bureaucratic side of the university, and the general feeling that students are mere commodities, cash cows to be milked for as much as they are worth.

I didn't go to my graduation ceremony for undergrad as it felt like a meaningless charade after the covid experience. I'm now not sure I want to attend this one either once this is eventually resolved given Melbourne has left a very bitter taste in my mouth.

I'm a new student that will get admitted hopefully in February/March. I request y'all to please tell me the way to register here.

I've entered my registration email and password but the university site is responding by "email not available".

I have this project where i have to give a presentation about myself And i want to make a good first impression cause this is my first presenatation , so what can i add or do in my presentation that will make it better . What can i do to engage more with the audience.

Hey guys, did anyone get a confirmation email after booking grad which shows your order details? just wanted to make sure i know 100% what i booked bc the website was pretty buggy lol

Hello! I am a student from india, currently doing GCE a levels in physics, chem and mathematics, and as levels in english. I will be appying to University in 2025, for semester 1 of 2026. The Melbourne international undergrad scholarship states that I must get a minimum of 3A* to be considered for the scholarship.

My query is regarding increasing the chances with my subject choices. Many people on this subreddit suggest 4A* to have a solid chance. I will also be opting for CIPQ(cambridge international project qualification) next year, which is graded in the same way as any a-level. Is it better if I switch to english a levels or should I continue with 3 subjects+ english as level+ cipq?

Hey there, One of probably many people anxiously awaiting the R1 outcome date lol

For those of who you who have been accepted into this program and received the stipend, how far before the outcome date have you received the offer(s) to the course and the stipend scholarship?

E.g if the outcome date is December 13 for example did you receive it well before that (say Dec 5) or was it mostly around that outcome date itself?

TIA!!!

Hi there, I'm considering either enrolling in MSW at Melbourne Uni or RMIT and wanted to get a sense of placement opportunities or how past students have felt about the experience. My interest lies in more macro-level systemic work, advocacy, community organising or development.

I would also love to hear about any people's experience doing placement interstate or overseas.

Thanks!

Hi there, I'm considering either enrolling in MSW at Melbourne Uni or RMIT and wanted to get a sense of what placement opportunities there are at Melbourne Uni, outside of hospitals. My interest lies in more macro-level systemic work, advocacy, community organising or development.

I'm drawn to RMIT's more political subjects, however if the placement opportunities and Melbourne Uni are good, then I'd love to go there, especially if there are good overseas opportunities.

I believe Melbourne Uni is the only place that has overseas placements in SW, but I can't find much online so would love if anyone has any intel.

Thanks!

Has anyone else gotten the email with the link to actually pay for our graduation?

Hi everyone, I’m doing Bachelor of Arts double major for Politics and International studies, and Criminology. Both major have the level 2 core subject of MULT20003, critical analytical skills, but it seems on My Course Planner u can only assign it to 1. How does it work? Will I be able to cover both major with it?

I have made a whatsapp group for students joining UniMelb in Feb 2025. DM me and I'll send the link

Apart from Dean's Honours List, what other awards are there for students who score good during their masters?

Is there any medal system in UniMelb? Like one person from every degree who tops their batch gets a gold medal?

I’m posting this on behalf of a friend who forgot to RSVP for their grad ceremony. Is there anyway around this? Stop One wasn’t able to help.

Thanks :)

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to share my situation and seek advice and what could happen next.

Im an international student. In my first semester, I was taking five subjects but ended up failing two of them. This semester (Semester 2), I’ve been retaking one of the failed subjects while also taking three new ones. Unfortunately, I failed the retaken subject again, along with one of the new subjects.

I’ve been dealing with personal issues, but I also take full responsibility for these outcomes—I know it’s my fault.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you recover and move forward? I’d appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone heard anything about the first round for science PhD and scholarships?

I’m applying for math if that makes any difference.

Anyone knows what's going on with the Supplementary Exam for Stochastic Modelling. I fit the conditions for the Final Subject Assessment but I have not heard from the University about anything.

How difficult is it to transfer and what wam should I maintain. Also how does this impact fees?

anyone know when were gonna get our exchange outcomes? it says on the website it should come out today

edit: got approved but will know host nominations by late jan so ig we wait

Is anyone else still waiting for the outcome of their JD application? I contacted the university and was told that the remaining outcomes are most likely to be released on Wednesday, 4th December, with a possible delay until Friday, 6th December.

Hey guys! I just got my results for my exams (Bachelor of Science) recently and have applied to the Master of Teaching with Unimelb on the 29th of November. Based on your experience, how long would it take to be accepted? Have anyone ever been rejected to do their Master before? My WAM is 78. Thank you for reading, just been a little nervous. I have got a conditional offer from Deakin for teaching too, but hoping to wait for Melbourne as I studied from here ever since 2022. yes

Hey! I've been unwell these past few weeks and so I won't be able to take a special examination for one of my subjects. I'm hoping they offer a special on special examination. In the case that I do, and I do the exam during the summer examination period, would I still be able to enrol in future subjects that have this subject as a prerequisite? Since I have yet to pass it. Thanks

Hello all,

I am an international student who will be enrolling in 2025! I am from East Asia but I studied and lived most of my life in English speaking countries.

Just after I have chose Unimelb for my post secondary institution and processed everything, I am hearing there is a lot of hate towards international students, especially the asian ones.

I have actually never experienced a racism in my entire life which I am very lucky and grateful for. I have never had an experience where people do not want to interact with me or look at me differently, just because of my ethnicity or where I am from. And honestly I am still not ready to get through that unfair and wrong behaviors. It’s like, ethnicity and my home country do not define who I am as a person entirely. So, being judged by those would make me feel really helpless and hurt. While I do hear a lot of, “Those people are weird ones anyways so don’t worry about it and hang with somebody who appreciates you,” I just want to say that being treated differently from just anyone because of your race still hurts.

So are the rumors really true? Do people in Melbourne tend to avoid and isolate the international students, immigrants, or even asians? Should I be worried, or be ready for having no friends in university?

Please let me know how the… vibe is in the city, and share your experiences. Thank you.

Could anyone give me advice? I'm really lost now. I failed 3 subjects in 3 years, and I only have another 5 subjects to go. My wam is really low now like 60ish, but I really want to pursue the dentistry pathway. Is there any chance I could still get a chance to go to dentistry if I try my best for the gamsat?
