The Melbourne Model is a standardised academic degree structure which was introduced at the University of Melbourne in 2008. The Melbourne Model is designed to align itself "with the best of European and Asian practice and North American traditions" specifically for "[i]nternationalising academic programs and aligning degree structures with the 'Bologna model'". As a result of its implementation the university's 96 undergraduate courses were replaced with six undergraduate degrees and professional programs. These were Arts,Science,Environment,Biomedicine,Music,and Commerce. Agriculture was added later,and Environments controversially replaced by Design. The idea was that career-oriented specialisation would occur at postgraduate level,rather than in the broad undergraduate degree itself. The shifting of Medicine and Law to postgraduate level was new in Australia.
