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.
