YOUR CITY

    Melbourne has become one of the world’s most
    multicultural cities and a dynamic international business
    hub, but it’s still easy to navigate. The inner city is a cluster
    of exciting communities connected by public transport and
    bike paths – and the University of Melbourne is at the heart
    of it all. You can spend time in the famous cobblestone
    lanes, or at world-class theatre productions – and if you
    don’t yet have an AFL team, you might want to choose one!

    Regional Victoria is world famous for its iconic beaches,
    wineries, bushwalking and farm-to-table food and is just a
    short train or bus ride away.

YOUR CAMPUS

    The University of Melbourne has
    been a central part of the city of
    Melbourne from its earliest days.
    It’s hard to say where the central
    business district stops, and the
    University begins! When you come
    to Melbourne, you'll join a vibrant
    medical precinct, a world-famous
    artistic community, a thriving
    startup network, and urban and
    rural researchers who’ll be feeding
    the world into the future. We have
    two campuses in the city – Parkville
    and Southbank – and five other
    specialist campuses in Victoria.
    Which Melbourne will be yours?

    PARKVILLE
    Our Parkville campus is a city within a
    city – it even has its own postcode. With
    cafes, 12 libraries, gyms, specialty stores,
    a small supermarket – even a seasonal
    farmers market – spread across a mix of
    historic sandstone buildings and state-
    of-the-art facilities, you’ll never have to
    leave. The Parkville campus is situated
    within a renowned knowledge precinct,
    which includes eight hospitals, many
    leading research institutes and a wide
    range of knowledge-based industries.

    SOUTHBANK
    At Southbank campus, among the city’s
    lively creative arts precinct – which itself is
    in the centre of Australia's cultural capital
    – you’ll find the University’s acclaimed
    music and visual and performing arts
    faculty. Southbank campus is purpose-
    built for the creative arts, and features
    sound and dance stages, animation
    studios, cinemas and visual arts studios.
    It sits alongside the National Gallery of
    Victoria, Melbourne Theatre Company,
    Melbourne Recital Centre, the Australian
    Ballet, Chunky Move dance company, the
    Arts Centre and the Australian Centre for
    Contemporary Art.
