Career services
Melbourne GSM students also enjoy the support of a dedicated Graduate Careers Centre, which provides professional and career development programs, including industry mentors, internships and employer days.
Orientation
The Melbourne GSM Orientation Program, held at the beginning of each semester, provides new students with an opportunity to learn about services available and receive further advice on the enrolment process, while getting to know other graduate students. As part of the Orientation Program, current Melbourne GSM students act as hosts to welcome new students onto campus, answer questions in an informal setting and assist students in their adjustment to graduate study.
