University of Melbourne Admissions 2025: Application Deadline, Eligibility & Fees

• No, I didn't receive any scholarship during my course.
• It was really, really hard to get any scholarship from Unimelb, and a select few scholars could get 10-15K AUD scholarships with almost perfect grades.
• On average, 1 student per 1000 students must have gotten a scholarship, and it was really unheard of that people were getting scholarships. I met only one person who had a Chancellor's scholarship, which was approx. 20K AUD but he had perfect grades since high school so the chances are bleak.

• Yes, scholarships for masters of management are auto-granted; there are no separate applications. The Business and Economics Graduate Scholarship is offered to students enrolled in a graduate coursework degree with the Faculty of Business and Economics in recognition of their academic achievements. There are two types: 25% and 50%.
• I received a 25% merit-based scholarship and so have 5 of my friends, and I know of 2 people who have a 50% scholarship as well.
• This % is cut from the fees each semester before the semester's invoice is sent, so it is a discount, not money given back later.
• No disclosure is given for how many students, on average, receive scholarships each year, but the typical award amount is 25%.

• I was fortunate to receive two prestigious scholarships from the University of Melbourne. The first was the Business and Economics Scholarship, a one-off grant of $10,000, awarded to recognize academic excellence and potential in the field. The second was the Graduate Scholarship, which provided a 25% reduction in my regular tuition fees, reflecting my strong academic performance and commitment to furthering my education.
• These scholarships are highly competitive, and approximately 20% of students in my cohort received either one or both of these awards. It was an honor to be among the recipients, as it validated my dedication to academics and professional growth while also easing the financial burden of pursuing a world-class education.

The admission process is simple:
1. Application: There is no fee to apply, unless you are shortlisted. After shortlist, you pay AUD100. I personally liked this since most B-schools charge $100 for applying.
2. GMAT/GRE: You need to get a competitive GMAT score. For Indians, anything above 700 should be fine. The higher you go, the better scholarship you will receive. There is no specific GMAT cutoff. The admission also depends on factors like application round, academics, previous experience, etc. 3. IELTS/PTE: Need a 6.5 or above in IELTS. This is basically a hygiene check. Pro Tip: If you have a high GMAT verbal, you can ask for IELTS waiver from the university. Although, after an admit, you will need to give IELTS for the visa process.
4. Interview: A single round of interview with the career services. It was a pretty casual conversation with basic behaviourial questions. The call was focused on setting realistic expectations from the MBA.

In received the MBS scholarship. For this particular scholarship, I did not have to apply. Every student is considered for this scholarship if they are admitted into the program. There were other scholarships as well which required applications. However, as far as I recall, you can't combine scholarships. IMPORTANT: THE DEADLINE FOR THESE SCHOLARSHIPS IS USUALLY THE END OF ROUND 1 (November). GMAT is the biggest criteria for getting the MBS Scholarship. Higher scores ensure better scholarship. If your profile is good and if you have other offers, you can easily negotiate for a bigger scholarship.

If you are looking for research then Unimel is one of the best, but from my experience, the syllabus is good which would make you an extrovert but it feels a bit of repetition.

I chose this university because of multiple factors: - Ranking - Teaching - Course structure I would say the overall experience is pretty good. I chose to do a Master of International Business because I feel it brings to the table a lot more with regards to the International aspect and adds a global perspective to all the subjects.
