World-class research - globally engaged
With an annual research budget of over $1 billion, the University of Melbourne is the number one research university in Australia, consistently outperforming its peer group in international rankings. Boasting 10 academic divisions and more than 100 research centres and institutes, Melbourne is rightly proud of its record of academic research excellence.
