The University of Melbourne, one of Australia's leading academic institutions, boasts more than 30,000 students and nearly 2,000 teaching staff. It's no surprise, then, that Arcadia University participants may choose from among thousands of academic courses; the Faculty of Arts alone offers over 400 classes in 40 departments! Courses in Architecture, Arts, Economics and Commerce, Education, Engineering, Land and Food Resources, Music and Science are also popular among study abroad students. You may even find that you have access to courses unavailable to you at your home school, such as classes in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.
For participants eager to learn more about Australia, The Australian Centre offers interdisciplinary classes that explore Australia's culture, politics, and environment. If environmental studies is your thing, you'll find opportunities for off-campus fieldwork in the Environmental Studies Department.

Arcadia University program participants enrolled at the University of Melbourne are expected to take four courses each semester, for a total of 16 credits per semester.
