44.UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE (Melbourne,Victoria,Australia)                






The University of Melbourne is both the oldest and the leading university in Australia. 

The school sits next to Melbourne’s center of commerce, and consequently benefits from all the culture and opportunity that a city which has been called “the fourth best city for college students” affords.

The University offers over 340 graduate tracks. One can study everything from professional degrees in law and medicine, to research programs in various sciences.

This is why every year 52,000 students—12,000 of whom are foreigners representing 129 different countries—come to Melbourne. 

This healthy research environment is one reason why Melbourne gave the world its first bionic ear and is currently developing the first bionic eye.

The school belongs to several prestigious university groups, such as the Asia-Pacific Rim and the Group of Eight. 

The university has refocused its research directives towards discerning three broad issues: our place/purpose, promoting well-being, and supporting sustainability.

Melbourne actively seeks to engage public discourse through its biennial Festival of Ideas and public lecture program.
