University of Melbourne English Language Bridging Programs (UMELBP Prep & UMELBP)
Do you need to develop your English language and study skills before beginning a course at the University of Melbourne?
The University of Melbourne English Language Bridging Program (UMELBP) is a 10 week course that provides a direct entry English language pathway from Hawthorn-Melbourne to undergraduate and specific graduate courses at the University of Melbourne.
If your English level is slightly lower, you will start your pathway in the University of Melbourne English Language Bridging Program Preparation (UMELBP Prep) before moving into the UMELBP.
Check the entry requirements for which option is applicable for you.
During your studies you will participate in group work to develop skills needed for exams, research assignments and presentations. Through participation in workshops, use of online and mobile technology and other resources, you are trained to become an effective and independent learner.
In addition to the four key skills (listening, reading, writing and speaking), you will also be taught academic skills relevant to the contemporary university student.
Over the duration of the program, you will learn to:
identify key concepts in texts
take effective notes
develop skills in writing process: planning, drafting, editing and finalising
write for research and essays
use references, citations and reference lists.
present & participate in seminars and discussions
The University of Melbourne has endorsed Hawthorn-Melbourne as the sole external provider of the UMELBP.
