The result reflects the outstanding contributions of our exceptional staff, strong global connections, comprehensive academic environment and research partnerships. As someone who proudly holds multiple degrees from the University of Melbourne, I'm deeply conscious of maintaining our connections with alumni, academic institutions and employers, here in Australia and overseas to benefit our students and research," she said.

Australia Becoming Hub For Education

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global, Culture and Engagement), Professor Michael Wesley commented, “Australia is in a dynamic region, rapidly becoming a hub for education, research and collaboration. As Australia’s leading university, we’re responsible for being a good neighbour. This includes fostering strong partnerships, advancing global education and research within the Asia and Pacific region, and producing graduates who are ready to lead on the global stage. We do this through global academic partnerships, providing meaningful opportunities for connection and collaboration at the Melbourne Global Centre in Delhi, and through our many global research projects and globally-focused institutes such as the Oceania Institute, Asialink, and the Australia India Institute. Our wide-reaching global partnerships are how the expertise and excellence of our Melbourne academics are experienced firsthand by our global colleagues."
