NOTES
➊ Grade equivalent to a University of Melbourne percentage. ➋ Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL): 1 EFTSL is a standard annual full time load. ➌ The official 2010 fee rate for
the Master of Teaching course is $21,400 per 100 points (1 EFTSL). The 2010 fees payable by a student are dependent on the stream and mode of enrolment, as well as the years in
which study is undertaken. The fees quoted here are what students will pay for the proportion of their course completed in 2010. As fees rise up to 10% per annum the cost of study
in 2011 and beyond will differ from the rates outlined here. Primary stream students do 100 points per annum over two years. Accelerated mode students do 150 points in a single
calendar year with an optional 50 points in a subsequent calendar year. Students enrolled in either reduced mode do 75 points per annum over two calendar years with an optional 50
points in a subsequent year. ➍ If you do not meet these minimum requirements you may be eligible for a 1.5 year program. See the Handbook or contact a student adviser for more
information. ➎ All graduating teachers are granted provisional registration with the VIT for two years. To become fully registered, you must demonstrate to the VIT that you meet their
standards of professional practice. This usually equates to one year of full time teaching. Visit www.vit.vic.edu.au for more information. ➏ Entry requirements listed are a guide only
and may be subject to change for entry in 2011. Please refer to Course Search (http://coursesearch.unimelb.edu.au) for the most current entry requirements.

➊ Grade equivalent to a University of Melbourne percentage. ➋ Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL): 1 EFTSL is a standard annual full time load. ➌ The official 2010 fee rate for
the Master of Teaching course is $21,400 per 100 points (1 EFTSL). The 2010 fees payable by a student are dependent on the stream and mode of enrolment, as well as the years in
which study is undertaken. The fees quoted here are what students will pay for the proportion of their course completed in 2010. As fees rise up to 10% per annum the cost of study
in 2011 and beyond will differ from the rates outlined here. Primary stream students do 100 points per annum over two years. Accelerated mode students do 150 points in a single
calendar year with an optional 50 points in a subsequent calendar year. Students enrolled in either reduced mode do 75 points per annum over two calendar years with an optional 50
points in a subsequent year. ➍ If you do not meet these minimum requirements you may be eligible for a 1.5 year program. See the Handbook or contact a student adviser for more
information. ➎ All graduating teachers are granted provisional registration with the VIT for two years. To become fully registered, you must demonstrate to the VIT that you meet their
standards of professional practice. This usually equates to one year of full time teaching. Visit www.vit.vic.edu.au for more information. ➏ Entry requirements listed are a guide only

Title Description

undergraduate level.
Graduate Diploma Provides expertise in a specialist area equivalent to a major at undergraduate level or initial specialist training at
graduate level.
Honours A one-year extension to an undergraduate (bachelors) degree that enables you to extend your knowledge of your
major or area of specialisation. Honours provides students with experience conducting independent research.
Postgraduate Diploma Provides current knowledge in a specialist area. There may be some research opportunities and training involved.
Masters by Coursework Provides advanced specialist or professional training in a particular discipline or interdisciplinary area. It can also lead
to professional accreditation.
Masters by Coursework – Professional Entry Provides a focused course of studies qualifying graduates for employment in a specific professional occupation. The
content of the degree is usually regulated by a professional organisation outside of the University. Upon completion
of the degree, you may be able to receive professional accreditation or become a member of a professional group.
Examples include the Master of Teaching, the Master of Architecture, the Master of Professional Accounting and the
Melbourne Juris Doctor (JD) (in law).
Masters by Coursework – Professional Development Internationally-recognised masters degrees designed to advance your professional and intellectual development.
These programs offer the opportunity to extend your professional understanding in a specific area, update or
advance existing skills or pursue a new career direction.
Master of Philosophy (MPhil) An internationally-recognised masters degree (by research) which develops advanced skills in conducting
independent, sustained and academically-supervised research. The MPhil requires the production of a
30-40 000 word thesis which should demonstrate a critical application of specialist knowledge and make an
independent contribution to existing scholarship.
Masters by Research (Other) These programs develop advanced skills in conducting independent, sustained and academically-supervised
research. They differ from the MPhil by allowing for up to 30% of the program to be coursework and in turn, a
shorter thesis of 30 000 words may be produced. The thesis should demonstrate a critical application of specialist
knowledge and make an independent contribution to existing scholarship.
Doctorates – Professional Professional doctorates provide a focused course of studies qualifying graduates for employment in a specific
professional occupation. These graduate programs provide the knowledge and skills required to practice in the
relevant professional field.
Examples include the Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Dental Surgery, Doctor of Physiotherapy, Doctor of Optometry
and the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Graduation with a PhD marks a students’ admission to the community of scholars in their discipline. The PhD is
awarded on the basis of an 80 000 word thesis, which reports on an independent, sustained and academically-
supervised research project investigating a specialised topic. The research is expected to make a significant new
contribution to the discipline. Some PhD programs may contain some coursework and all PhDs are assessed via
external examination.
