150-year history of leadership in research, innovation, teaching, and learning. Our Parkville campus is the hub of Australia’s premier knowledge precinct encompassing eight hospitals, many leading research institutes, and a wide range of knowledge-based industries. The University has

Among our many scholars of international standing are five winners of the Nobel Prize. Professors Peter Doherty and Bert Sakmann for Physiology and Medicine, and Professors Sir James Mirrlees and Clive Granger for their achievements in Economic Science.

One of the advantages of studying abroad at the University of Melbourne is the campus location. The campus is spacious, green, and leafy, and has a special life of its own, yet it is located within walking distance to downtown Melbourne, a vibrant diverse city full of art, culture, cafes, sport, and festivals.
