LOCATION 

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.

ACADEMIC HIGHLIGHTS 

The University of Melbourne is a comprehensive institution which, for over a hundred years, was the only university in the state of Victoria; hence there is a very strong academic basis for all the humanities, sciences, and professions.

The Melbourne Model is an innovative approach to learning and teaching, providing students an opportunity to study specific disciplines in depth, with the opportunity to undertake subjects from other areas.  The Melbourne Experience offers access to unprecedented academic enrichment opportunities such as internships and industry projects.  As the only Australian university offering a truly international curriculum, our degrees prepare students globally for a wide range of careers and provide a pathway into professional graduate programs or research higher degrees.
