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. 6
