Tradition and innovation
on campus
The University of Melbourne’s heart is in Parkville,
where our main campus has been situated for more
than 150 years.
ANCHORED IN TRADITION,
FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE
Only a few minutes from the centre of
Melbourne, the University’s Parkville
campus combines contemporary
architecture and sustainable design
with historic sandstone buildings
and many beautiful open spaces for
students to enjoy. It is located within a
renowned knowledge precinct, which
includes eight hospitals, many leading
research institutes and a wide range of
knowledge-based industries.
The Southbank campus hosts the
Victorian College of the Arts and part of
the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music
(which is primarily based at the Parkville
campus). It is centrally located within
Melbourne’s cultural and arts precinct,
and 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.
The University of Melbourne’s other
Victorian campuses specialise in
forest ecosystem science, agriculture,
horticulture, rural health and veterinary
science. They are situated in Burnley,
Creswick, Dookie, Shepparton and
Werribee.
