The University of Melbourne

Welcome to The University of Melbourne, a truly unique environment that is shaping the future through ground-breaking discoveries. Located in Ballarat Central, Mair Street, our institution is not just an establishment, but a point of interest and a renowned university.

At The University of Melbourne, we are committed to sustainability and are continuously developing sustainable facilities and precincts to support innovative research for years to come. Our historic Parkville campus is situated at the heart of three globally recognized innovation precincts, fostering collaboration and pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Additionally, we have six specialist campuses across Victoria that offer immersive education in life sciences and agriculture.

Our researchers are at the forefront of tackling humanity's most critical problems and exploring complex questions that impact the world. Supported by our extensive research infrastructure network, we strive to drive innovation both within Australia and internationally.

Immerse yourself in the rich knowledge, research, and culture curated at our diverse museums and galleries. From the prestigious Ian Potter Museum of Art to the newly established Science Gallery Melbourne, our institutions provide access to a wealth of information and inspiration.

Experience the vibrant University community by living on-campus. We offer a range of accommodation options, from modern apartment-style halls of residence to traditional college accommodation, allowing you to fully engage and connect with fellow students.

Collaboration is key, and we are dedicated to connecting with industry and government. Melbourne Connect, our purpose-built innovation precinct, brings together leading researchers, investors, start-ups, students, and artists to foster innovation and drive real-world impact.

We are also committed to working with Indigenous communities, state and local government partners to create a center for excellence in education, wellbeing, Indigenous business, and culture. Through these collaborations, we aim to support and uplift Indigenous communities and celebrate their rich heritage.

The Illumina-University of Melbourne Genomics Hub is yet another testament to our commitment to transforming health outcomes for all Australians. This hub provides practical experience and fosters commercially focused genomics innovation projects, paving the way for improved healthcare for everyone.
