I was drawn to this University because of the combination of Marketing and Communications. The second reason was the multicultural nature of Melbourne city and thriving digital marketing.
Course Curriculum
Master of Marketing Communications is for students who have no or minimal background in marketing and would like to enhance their digital communication skills and knowledge. It is a great mix of theoretical and practical courses, with immense opportunity to work on some real-life projects through IMC subject and social enterprise incubator electives.
Exams
1. Bachelor's degree in any field with a minimum 70% grade equivalent to Australian education standards 2. IELTS with a minimum 6.5 overall band. 3. For specifics refer: https://handbook.unimelb.edu.au/courses/mc-mktcomm/entry-participation-requirements
Placement
One needs to fend for themselves and network. LinkedIn is the best place to start. Challenging for international students. Try to get into volunteer work inside and outside University to expand your network.
Internship
No, I did not as it was not a great option during the pandemic I opted for an applied syndicate project, where a team of students from the course could with a real-life client.
Events
The campus life is to look forward to, from Tuesday's free BBQ and Beer at Union House to $1 BBQ at GSA ground to south lawn fun fairs. One can also enjoy the winter festival with friends at Northcote with food stalls from various countries and cultural programs. The main attraction is the amazing food court with Egg Bistro (Japanese underground restaurant) and coffee stations.
Fees
AUD $67,000 approximate, subject to change.
Scholarship
No, I didn't receive any scholarship.
Faculty
I belong to the Faculty of Arts and also have the privilege to associate myself with the faculty of Business and economics. The faculty of Arts of Unimelb has some great founders in the field of publishing, marketing, and public relations. I would recommend connecting to Jennifer Beckket, Dr. Wonsun for the Master of Marketing Communications course.
Hostel
I lived in a private student accommodation Atira, ( $308 for a twin share) expensive (all costs covered except food) but had a great time, good service, community spirit programs, and a great atmosphere: https://atira.com/ In the second year I lived in a residential college, The Queen's College, very expensive. 2 bedroom share starts at around $530 per week. Exclusive community with academic and social programs provided. check here as there is a bit of a procedure to get into 1 of the 8 residential colleges (all cost covered and food as well): https://study.unimelb.edu.au/discover/accommodation/residential-colleges
