The University is situated on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples (Burnley, Fishermans Bend, Parkville, Southbank and Werribee campuses); the Yorta Yorta Nation (Dookie and Shepparton campuses); and the Dja Dja Wurrung people (Creswick campus).

Established in 1853, it is one of Australia’s oldest universities and the first in Victoria. Today, the University’s vibrant community comprises over 50,000 students, including 40 per cent international students from more than 150 countries.

We nurture a culture of curiosity and creativity, providing students with the opportunity to learn from academics and researchers at the forefront of their respective disciplines.

University of Melbourne graduates emerge as well-rounded, thoughtful and highly skilled professionals who make a positive impact across the globe. A network of more than 470,000 alumni around the world attests to the transformative impact of a University of Melbourne education.

The University is home to nine faculties, each dedicated to delivering outstanding teaching and learning and research in disciplines including arts; architecture, building and planning; business and economics; education; engineering and information technology; fine arts and music; law; science; and medicine, dentistry and health sciences.

Encouraging a spirit of innovation, we support our students and researchers with opportunities to translate their research through an entrepreneurial ecosystem, from start-up incubators to major investment funding opportunities.

The University’s commitment to excellence has earned its place among the world’s best universities, delivering education and research that are global in reach, ambition and impact.
