About graduate research degrees
Embedding research in education
The University of Melbourne is a leading research-based institution, endorsed time and time again by the Australian Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) rankings and leading international rankings and accreditations.
Our bilateral agreements with institutions in 35 countries mean that prominent international academic researchers regularly visit and teach at the University. These agreements enable critical international and inter-disciplinary collaboration and access that is essential to early career researchers.
