University of Melbourne

"A great university is above all, about knowledge. It is a place where existing knowledge is valued and shared, and where new knowledge is created. It is also a collegial community. The University of Melbourne is a dynamic research-driven community, which offers a wealth of cultural, institutional and recreational opportunities for social interaction, leadership and personal development. It is an environment in which students will be challenged to extend themselves intellectually and creatively, so that graduates are prepared for the 21st century and are at home anywhere in the world"

Alan D. Gilbert, Vice-Chancellor
