Melbourne University is ranked amongst the top universities both in Australia and the world. The University is highly regarded in the fields of the arts, humanities, and biomedicine.
The University has almost 40,000 students, who are supported by nearly 6,000 staff members (full or part-time). On November 15, 2005, Vice-Chancellor Glyn Davis announced a reform program entitled 'Growing Esteem'. The University will aim to consolidate its three core activities - Research, Learning and Knowledge transfer - in order to become one of the world's finest institutions. The University's degree structure will be changed to the 'Melbourne Model', a combination of various practices from American and European Universities, which administrators claim will make the university consistent with the Bologna Accord, ensuring its degrees have international relevance.
History
The University was established by Hugh Childers in 1853 by an Act of the Victorian Parliament passed on Saturday 22 January, and classes commenced in 1855 with three professors and sixteen students.
The original University buildings were officially opened by the then Lieutenant Governor of the Colony of Victoria, Sir Charles Hotham, on 3 October 1855. The first Chancellor, Redmond Barry, held the position until his death in 1880.
In the university's early days, an architectural masterplan was developed, establishing the intended prevailing building style as gothic revival. Early influential architect's included Melbourne's own Joseph Reed, who was responsible for the design of many of the early campus buildings. Although the masterplan held as late as the 1930s, the 1950s saw the modernist style established as a new 'house style' for the university, resulting in the mix of buildings seen today.
The inauguration of the University was made possible by the wealth resulting from Victoria's gold rush, and the University was designed to be a 'civilising influence' at a time of rapid settlement and commercial growth (Selleck, 2003). The University was secular, and forbidden from offering degrees in divinity - the churches could only establish Colleges along the northern perimeter. The local population largely rejected the supposed elitism of its professoriate, favouring teaching of 'useful' subjects like law, over those they deemed 'useless' in the city's context, like classics. The townspeople won this debate, and law was introduced in 1857, and medicine and engineering in the 1860s.
The admission of women in 1881 was a further victory for Victorians over the more conservative ruling council. Subsequent years saw many tensions over the direction of the emerging University. For example, in 1902 it was effectively bankrupt, following the discovery of massive fraud by the Bursar, Frederick Dickson. This resulted in a Royal Commission recommending new funding structures, and an extension of disciplinary areas into agriculture and education.
By the time of World War I, governance was again a pressing concern. The Council, consisting of more businesspeople than professors, obtained real powers in 1923 at the expense of the Senate. Undergraduates could elect two members of the Council. In this period, the University tended to attract students drawn from affluent backgrounds, with a few opportunities for gifted scholarship students. The first Vice-Chancellor to be paid a salary was Raymond Priestley (1936) followed by John Medley in 1939.
After World War II, demand for Commonwealth-funded student places grew in Australia, and the University followed demand by becoming much larger and more inclusive.
The University celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2003.
Academia
The University has eleven faculties:
[*]Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning[*]Faculty of Arts[*]Faculty of Economics and Commerce[*]Faculty of Education[*]Faculty of Engineering[*]Faculty of Land and Food Resources[*]Faculty of Law[*]Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences[*]Faculty of Music[*]Faculty of Science[*]Faculty of Veterinary Science.These faculties offer courses from Bachelor Degree to Doctorate level. Land and Food Resources offers TAFE, diplomas, but in June 2005 it was announced that these will be transferred to other providers. Arts is the largest (7,222 students in 2004), followed by Science (6,328). The University has some of the highest admission requirements in the country, with the median ENTER of its undergraduates being 94.5. Furthermore, around 70% of those who finish in the top 1% of school leavers choose to study at Melbourne.
Pure and applied research had already grown in importance from the late 19th century, but increased its reach and depth in the second half of the 20th century. Academic staff are expected to maintain a programme of research and to apply for funding opportunities. Science and Arts are the best-endowed Faculties in financial terms. The medical sciences benefit from proximity to a number of hospitals, and were enhanced by the opening of Bio21, a research centre focusing on pure and applied Biotechnology.
The university has an endowment of approximately $908 million AUD as of June 2005, which has grown rapidly over the past few years.One of only two Australian universities with significant private endowment; the University of Sydney's is marginally larger. Both are small compared to the massive endowments of the wealthiest US universities such as Harvard or Princeton.
Four Nobel Laureates work on campus: Profs. Peter Doherty and Bert Sakmann are currently based in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, while Sir James Mirrlees (Economic Science, 1996 - emeritus, Cambridge) and Sir Clive Granger (Economic Science, 2003 - emeritus, San Diego), will teach a couple of months each year at the University from 2005.
Melbourne has produced the most Rhodes Scholars of any Victorian university, including the two 2006 winners.
In recent years the University has expanded the numbers of international students from 2,000 in 1996 to over 8,000 in 2006, achieved under the direction of former Vice Chancellor, Alan Gilbert. A separate venture, Melbourne University Private was created in 1997, and merged with the University at the end of 2005.
Residential colleges
Since 1872, the affiliated residential colleges have been an important part of the university. The earliest sought to emulate the finest European colleges, particularly those of Oxford. There are eleven affiliated colleges in total. Seven of the colleges are situated in an arc around the cricket oval at the northern edge of the campus, known as the College Crescent, with the other five within 15 minutes walk of the University of Melbourne.
List of colleges
Trinity College 1872
Ormond College 1881
Janet Clarke Hall 1886
Queen's College 1887
Whitley College 1891
Newman College 1918
University College 1937
Medley Hall 1954
International House 1957
Graduate House 1962
St Hilda's College 1964
St Mary's College 1966
Most of the colleges only provide residence for students within the academic semester and encourage their students to find alternatives or return home during the summer and winter vacation periods. During this time they are often occupied by conference, sporting and retreat groups. As a result of this a large part of the students who live on campus at Melbourne University come from areas outside Melbourne particularly rural regions, interstate and overseas. The college community is viewed by many students as a helpful stepping stone to living independently particularly by those who have never lived in a big city before or who lack support networks within Melbourne due to the distance from their home town. The colleges also accommodate a large number of students from inner-city private schools. These students despite having families who live within a commutable distance of the University of Melbourne will choose to attend college as a means of expanding their social circle within the occasionally daunting university, to access the additional academic assistance offered by the colleges, as well as the standard stepping stone to independence.
The colleges provide accommodation to about 2000 students, which is a small fraction of the university's total student population. As well as accommodation, the colleges provide tutorials for their students (although unlike the Oxbridge colleges, the tutorials are purely extra assistance and do not form a fundamental part of any university course).
A larger proportion of students live in surrounding suburbs, and private city centre apartment complexes. Unlike other universities in Melbourne, most students catch public transport, as parking is expensive and scarce.
Growing Esteem
New strategy
In 2005, the university developed a new strategy, which it named 'Growing Esteem'. A key feature of this is the 'Melbourne Model' for generalist degrees intended to lead to second tier courses which would be graduate entry. This model will begin to be rolled out in 2008 with courses such as law, nursing, education and architecture becoming graduate entry only. Detailed information about the new undergraduate courses will be available in the 2007 VTAC guide.
Courses
Six courses have been approved as 'new generation undergraduate courses': generalist degrees under the 'Melbourne Model'.
Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Commerce
Bachelor of Environments
Bachelor of Music
Bachelor of Bioscience
A number of professional courses will be moved to graduate entry including:
Juris Doctor of Law
Master of Animal Science
Master of Architecture
Master of Forest Science
Master of Nursing
Master of Property and Construction
Master of Public Policy and Management
Master Social Work
Master of Teaching
Master of Urban Horticulture

Swinburne has a strong reputation in Australia and overseas as a provider of career orientated education and as a university with a commitment to research. The University maintains a strong technology base and important links with industry, complemented by a number of innovative specialist research centres which attract a great deal of international interest.
A feature of many Swinburne undergraduate courses is the applied vocational emphasis and direct industry application through Industry Based Learning (IBL) programs. Swinburne was a pioneer of IBL, a program which places students directly in industry for vocational employment as an integral part of the course structure.
Swinburne is now one of a few Australian universities whose responsibilities span the range of programs from apprenticeships to PhDs. In keeping with this breadth of involvement, the University continues to play a leading role in creating new approaches to integration between sectors.
The creation of study pathways between sectors and courses is firmly in place at Swinburne. Current pathways involve moving either from the TAFE sector into Higher Education or from TAFE based VCE studies into full TAFE courses. A limited number of pathways are available for students to move from degree courses into TAFE studies, and this will increase in the future. This process of articulation provides students with greater flexibility to complete tertiary qualifications.
Teaching and learning enhancement is a strategic priority for the University, and Swinburne is committed to the transfer of lifelong learning skills.
Swinburne University of Technology has a rich and enviable record as a provider of quality, career-oriented education for both undergraduates and postgraduates. As we enter the new millenium, post-secondary education has never played a more critical role in shaping the future of your lives and your careers.
Our students are fortunate. Swinburne University of Technology is one of the few universities in Australia to offer a full range of programs from apprenticeships to PhDs. We give our students the added flexibility in study options of following well-defined ‘Pathways’ between our TAFE and Higher Education sectors.
Swinburne provides students with the skills and knowledge that will help them find employment in their chosen career and provides an exciting environment that makes learning fun. Our students have access to a number of sporting, computer, library and student welfare facilities at each campus and all campuses are in close proximity to many forms of public transport.
Undergraduate students have the advantage of working closely with industry through our Industry Based Learning (IBL) program. Our IBL program not only provides students with paid work experience before graduating, it often leads to full-time employment opportunities with the same employer after graduation. Most degree courses include IBL which provides a free-flow information between the University and the future employers of our graduates.
We also offer a wide variety of postgraduate courses from graduate certificates through to PhDs in the areas of Applied Science, Business and Innovation, Design, Engineering and Technology, Health and Human Services, Informatics (Computing and Information Technology), Multimedia, and Social Sciences and Arts.

The University of Queensland was established by an Act of State Parliament on December 10, 1909 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Queensland’s separation from the colony of New South Wales. Its foundation four months later made it the first university in the State and the fifth in the nation.
In 1911, 83 students (including 23 women) attended the first classes in Government House, George Street, Brisbane.
The First World War slowed development but afterwards, research and teaching burgeoned as demand for higher education increased. The fledgling University outgrew the buildings in George Street, and the search for a larger campus began.
A site at Victoria Park (now partially occupied by the Mayne Medical School) was secured by statute in 1922 as a possible permanent home for the University. In 1927 Dr James O’Neil Mayne, in association with his sister Miss Mary Emelia Mayne, provided $380,000 to enable the Brisbane City Council to resume 274 acres of land at St Lucia and provide it to the University as its permanent home.
Named after the sugar-producing island of St Lucia in the West Indies, the area originally was used to farm sugar, arrowroot, cotton, maize and pineapples. A sugar mill, washed away by the 1893 flood, operated where the University boat shed now stands.
Lack of finance delayed development of the site, and so the University lent it for a Farm School administered by the State's Department of Agriculture and Stock until construction began in 1937.
The first building, later named the Forgan Smith Building after the Premier of the day, was completed in 1939. The Second World War diverted its use to military purposes and it served first as advanced headquarters for the Allied Land Forces in the South West Pacific. The University's move from George Street to St Lucia was accomplished between 1946 and 1972.
In 1990, the University merged with Queensland Agricultural College (now UQ Gatton) as part of a unified national system abolishing the binary system of universities and colleges of advanced education. And in 1999, UQ Ipswich opened as one of the first purpose-built, completely Web-enabled campuses in Australia (from UQ website).

Griffith is a big, diverse and increasingly interesting institution. Established in the early 1970s, Griffith has grown to encompass six campuses stretching from central Brisbane south to the Gold Coast, and has more than 24 000 students and 2500 academic staff. The original campus, Nathan, is southeast of the Brisbane CBD, nestled in the flora and fauna of Toohey Forest and right next door to the Mt Gravatt campus. The Gold Coast campus is another 45 minutes or so south and has grown to the point where some see it becoming a separate university. A still-new campus is Logan, half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The Griffith University Queensland College of Art, now joined with the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, is housed in a modern purpose-built complex at South Bank that seems to provide every facility that could be wished for.
Many Griffith courses have an international flavour. Business graduates, for example, can get a solid grounding for work in Asia. Developments on the material side of things at Griffith include a community centre (the Eco Centre) at Nathan and a technology precinct at the Gold Coast. Griffith provides scholarships and awards for academic excellence and financial disadvantage. All who undertake overseas study, work or research are eligible for an international experiences scholarship. 阿德莱得地区

Curtin aspires to be a world-class university of technology. As one of Australia’s leading universities, we are proud of our practical focus on finding creative solutions to problems through the innovative application of technology.
Creativity and innovation are also characteristics of successful partnerships. The development and evolution of productive partnerships, both within the university and with the wider community, is fundamental to achieving our vision.
Firstly, and most importantly, there is our partnership with each and every one of our students. This partnership in the learning process is based on commitment, cooperation and two-way trust. It is also a partnership that extends beyond graduation through Curtin Alumni, ensuring students’ links with Curtin continue throughout their working life and beyond.
Then there are the many partnerships based on collaboration between Curtin’s staff across areas, centres, schools, divisions and levels in an environment based on common values, mutual respect and a genuine commitment to Curtin.
More broadly, we have developed a number of strategic partnerships with:
[*]Business and industry such as Optus, BankWest, Woodside Energy Ltd and Metasource Pty Ltd[*]Other universities including the Australian Technology Network (ATN) universities, and many prestigious institutions in Asia, Europe and the United States[*]Governments and government agencies at a state, national and international level, such as the Department of Industry and Technology, CSIRO and the Government of Sarawak[*]The community at the local level and throughout the StateCurtin is ranked third in Australia in income received through research and development contracts with industry, which illustrates our commitment to developing partnerships that benefit industry and, ultimately, the community.
With all of our partnerships, our aim is to enhance the quality and expand the scope of our learning and research activities through the sharing of knowledge, expertise and resources. As a result, Curtin graduates are job-ready and armed with skills that can enable them to make a real and positive impact in a rapidly changing world.
That impact is felt all around the world through the thousands of international students who graduate from Curtin. Our international student population is Australia’s fourth largest, with a third of our students coming from more than 90 countries. Needless to say, this cultural diversity provides a rich and valuable dimension to university life, offering students and staff the benefits of being part of an international network. Importantly, it also prepares our graduates to live and work in an increasingly global environment.
As well as benefiting from a gloriously multicultural environment, the Curtin community also enjoys studying and working in beautiful surroundings. Over the past 10 years, we have greatly expanded and enhanced the main Bentley campus through the addition of the John Curtin Centre, state of the art teaching and research facilities, and extensive landscaping using a mix of native and exotic flora. Just this year our Graduate School of Business has relocated to a heritage building in the Central Business District of Perth that has been superbly renovated to both highlight heritage features and incorporate modern architectural principles.
To achieve our vision of becoming a world-class university of technology, we are committed to continuous improvement and innovation. As our namesake, John Curtin, Prime Minister of Australia from 1941 to 1945, said, "The great university should look ever forward; for it the past should be but a preparation for the greater days to be".

The Australian National University, or ANU, is a public university located in Canberra, the national capital of Australia. Founded in 1946 by the Australian Government as Australia's only research-only university, ANU was created with a mandate for "postgraduate research and study, both generally and in relation to subjects of national importance to Australia" and was intended to strengthen Australia's research efforts at the highest levels. In 1960 undergraduate education was added to the ANU by amalgamation with the Canberra University College. ANU is the only university in Australia with a constitution and structure dictated by an Act of the Commonwealth Parliament; all other Australian universities were established by State or Territory parliaments. The University is governed by a 15 member Council.
ANU is regarded as Australia's (and the Southern Hemisphere's) leading University, and has been ranked as such by various indepedant sources. ANU was ranked 16th in the world and first in the Southern Hemisphere by The Times Higher Education Supplement in 2004 , whilst in 2005 it slipped to 23rd (second in the Southern Hemisphere) before again being placed as 16th in the world (first in the Southern Hemisphere) in 2006. Other sources also rank ANU as Australia's leading university, The Shanghai Jiao Tong University placed ANU 56th in the world in its 2005 table, and 54th in 2006, both highest positions for any Australian university. Also in 2006, Newsweek named ANU 38th in the world in its Top 100 Global Universities List.
ANU is particularly strong in research, and is a member of Australia's Group of Eight, the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy and the exclusive International Alliance of Research Universities.

The University of Newcastle, established in 1965, has a student population of just over 20,000. We offer over 150 undergraduate and graduate courses, delivered via five Faculties - Business and Law; Education and Arts; Engineering and Built Environment; Health; and Science and Information Technology. The University is an exceptional achiever in research with an international reputation for expertise in innovative approaches to teaching and learning. With campuses in both the Central Coast and Hunter regions of NSW, we serve a community of around a million people.
There are two main campuses, both of which have won national awards for architecture and sympathetic environmental management. The larger campus at Callaghan lies about 12 kilometres from the Centre of Newcastle on a beautiful natural bushland site, and this is where the great majority of our students study. The other main campus is at Ourimbah on the Central Coast, about half way between Newcastle and Sydney. It is part of an innovative joint venture between the University, the Hunter Institute (TAFE NSW) and the Central Coast Community College. Currently there are about 1,800 University of Newcastle students studying at Ourimbah but as a new campus earmarked for growth, this number is expected to grow considerably over the next five years.
Although not a campus in the strict sense of the word, we have a significant presence on two sites within the Newcastle C.B.D. Our School of Music and Conservatorium are located in the Civic Theatre precinct, while our School of Law, Legal Centre, and Graduate School of Business are located in University House, a landmark art-deco sandstone building directly opposite Civic Park. It is an ideal location for many of our students who study part-time and who work close by. And although the University's medical and nursing programs are based on the Callaghan campus, they also operate out of major clinical, teaching, and research facilities at several hospitals and health centres in the Hunter and Central Coast regions.
