leadership in research, innovation, teaching and
learning. It is consistently ranked among the leading
universities in the world, with international peers
placing us in the top 20 worldwide*, and employers

The University’s international reputation is enhanced by
its location, in the hub of Australia's premier
knowledge precinct, surrounded by eight hospitals,
several leading research institutes and a range of
knowledge-based industries. It is also just a few
minutes from central Melbourne, an exciting and vibrant
city and a World Health Organization safe community.
The University of Melbourne’s learning community and
curriculum is internationally and culturally diverse.
Our students are active in clubs, sport and community
service. Diversity is valued, multiculturalism is
celebrated, and the integrity of the individual is
respected.
The University offers comprehensive academic programs
that can be tailored to accommodate your talents and
goals. We encourage you to explore broad intellectual,
social, political and historical contexts both in and
outside the classroom.
High-profile employers from Australia and around the
world actively recruit our graduates. They know they
will be academically excellent, knowledgeable across
disciplines, leaders in professions and communities,
fluent between cultures and active global citizens. Our
graduate employment outcomes are consistently higher
than the national average and international employers
often rank our graduates as significantly stronger
applicants in comparison to others. Demand for our
students is reflected in the large number of jobs placed
through the University's job vacancy site - 18 000
vacancies and internship opportunities were advertised
in 2006, with half of these coming from international
employers.
