International teaching and learning initiatives
The Faculty of Science is actively pursuing new teaching and learning opportunities all over the world, from co-developing curricula with other institutions to finding international training initiatives for our PhD students.
Bachelor of Science (Blended)
The University of Melbourne has partnered with the Indian Institute for Science Education and Research, Pune (IISER Pune), one of the Indian institutes of national importance, and Savitribai Phule Pune University, in the development of a Bachelor of Science curriculum that blends online and campus-delivered curriculum.
Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours)
With the success of the BSc (Blended) program, the University of Melbourne has expanded the blended model further – the newly-launched Bachelor of Science Advanced (Honours) allows students to undertake study in both India and at the University of Melbourne.
Melbourne-India Postgraduate Program
The Faculty of Science is a proud supporter of the Melbourne-India Postgraduate Program (MIPP), a joint initiative of the University of Melbourne and a select group of India’s best research institutions. The program provides opportunities for students who studied at partner institutions to work with University of Melbourne academics.
