Australia’s second-oldest university, and the oldest in Victoria, the University of Melbourne was founded in 1853, and has been at the pinnacle of Australian tertiary education ever since. Depending on the ranking you choose, this institution ranks well within the top 50 universities in the world, and is often seen as Australia’s finest. The roll call of alumni backs up this reputation: four Australian prime ministers, five governors-general and eight Nobel Laureates have graduated from the University of Melbourne. A little over 50,000 students attend, many of whom call the university’s 10 residential colleges home.
