Melbourne University
Private
Profile
Melbourne University Private is an internationally
focused corporate university. In productive synergy with the University
of Melbourne, its mission is to be an
international leader in the provision of high-quality, customer-responsive
education, consultancy, research and advisory services to corporations and
governments.
Melbourne University Private's academic profile is
focused in its three schools; the School
of Development Studies, the School
of International Communication and Languages,
and the School
of Enterprise . The university also runs a
business division which provides support to academic staff involved in
consultancy activity and technology commercialization.
Melbourne University Private is a self-accrediting
institution with an Academic Senate which guides its intellectual life and
advises the board on all matters relating to education and research
including the accreditation of new awards.
In providing customized sector- and client-specific
education, research and consultancy services, Melbourne University Private
draws on both the intellectual resources of the University of Melbourne,
and its own discrete institutional resources. This produces an academic
community within a corporate university framework, with the added strength
of affiliation with and access to a traditional, research-intensive,
public university.
International Students
The staff of Melbourne University Private aim to make
your study experience at our University as successful and enjoyable as
possible. Along with the academic staff there is a team of student
advisers and other professionals at the Hawthorn campus who are there to
assist and support you.
The campus is the home of the Hawthorn English Language
Centre which is one of Australia's oldest and largest English Language
Centres and consequently is excellently equipped for the delivery of
English language studies. The teaching accommodation, information/IT
resources and leisure facilities are all first class.
Accommodation
It is important that you find the type of accommodation
that suits you. One option that Melbourne University Private is able to
offer is Homestay accommodation. Homestay provides you with a supportive
environment and an outstanding opportunity to experience first-hand the
Australian lifestyle. It's also a great way to practise your English after
class.
You will be placed with a family and in most cases the
Homestay fee covers the costs of a furnished room, meals and most bills.
The families are carefully chosen and the homes are located in the eastern
suburbs of Melbourne, as close as possible to the Hawthorn campus. If you
are interested in this option then check the Homestay request box on the
application form.
Some students may prefer to lease their own property,
such as an apartment or a house, in the area around the University campus.
The main advantage of this option is that, if you choose, the
accommodation can be shared and the costs split between the residents.
The Accommodation Office will be able to provide you
with information on local estate agents and tips on how to locate a rental
property that best suits your needs once you arrive in Melbourne. The
Office may also be able to help you find others who are interested in
sharing accommodation.
Homestay, hotel or hostel accommodation is also
available on a temporary basis until you are able to find your own
accommodation.
If you are interested in Homestay (short or long-term)
or temporary accommodation you will need to let us know at least two weeks
prior to your arrival.
