Reputation for excellence
Every university will tell you they’re great.
And everyone looking to choose a university will ask themselves the same questions. You’ve probably asked them yourself: Where do I want to live? Who do I want to learn from? Where will I find the university that will meet my expectations? And exceed them?
We’ve answered these questions for you – based on the facts, backed up by international rankings, endorsed by our students’ experiences and the assessments of the people who employ our graduates. And as for curriculum and location – they speak for themselves.
Ranked #1 in Australia for teaching quality
The best universities attract the best teachers. And the best students. At Melbourne, you’ll find your people. They’ll be at the front of the class, and beside you in class. You’ll be studying with exceptional teachers and students, working together to imagine, challenge and inspire one another to discover and share new and bold ideas.
Find your people
Excellence attracts excellence. We’re proud to offer some of the most in-demand degrees in the country. You’ll collaborate in class or in the lab with inspiring, ambitious peers who worked hard to get to Melbourne and want to make the most of every opportunity.
One of the most important reasons Melbourne degrees are successful is that you learn to work with people who are equally driven, but very different to you. They will challenge you to grow and support you in every new endeavour.
