The University of Melbourne is a truly unique environment. We’re creating a range of sustainable facilities and precincts to enable ground-breaking discoveries, now and into the future.

Our historic Parkville campus is at the heart of three globally recognised innovation precincts. Six specialist campuses across Victoria provide immersive education in life sciences and agriculture.

Where our researchers are working on humanity’s most critical problems and complex questions facing the world. The University’s research infrastructure network supports innovation in Australia and internationally.

Our diverse museums and galleries – from the Ian Potter Museum of Art to the new Science Gallery Melbourne – provide access to the knowledge, research and culture curated at the University.

Living on-campus means you can immerse yourself in our University community. Accommodation at Melbourne varies from apartment-style halls of residence to traditional college accommodation.

It all begins with the seed of an idea. Imagine what we can do, together. Find out how we’re connecting with industry and government.

Melbourne Connect brings leading researchers, investors, start-ups, students and artists together in a new purpose-built innovation precinct.

A major urban renewal project is set to become the University’s newest precinct. It’s a globally connected hub where industry, government and community will come together to transform education, engineering and design innovation.

The University of Melbourne is working with Indigenous, state and local government partners to create a centre for excellence in education, wellbeing, Indigenous business and culture.
