The University of Melbourne is a globally engaged, comprehensive, research-intensive university uniquely positioned to respond to the major social, economic and environmental challenges of our time.
Every faculty and graduate school actively engages in research, with many affiliated with hospitals, other research entities, or one of our many cross-disciplinary research institutes.
The University of Melbourne is committed to developing lasting relationships with communities, corporations, cultural organisations and our alumni and friends to promote understanding, discussion, access and equity.
The public, parents and friends of the University can experience university life by attending public lectures, events and conferences; using University facilities; or undertaking single subject study.
We engage with business and industry across a wide range of activities including internship and graduate placement programs, consultancy services, customised education programs and major institutional partnerships.

We maintain over 200 bilateral agreements with leading universities and are a member of the Universitas 21 network and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities.
A proud patron of the Arts, the University of Melbourne is home to the Melbourne Theatre Company, the Artists Booking Service, and over 30 stunning galleries, museums, historical and cultural collections.
