Dean's welcome
For over 100 years, our Faculty of Science has been recognised internationally for our role
in expanding the frontiers of knowledge for the betterment of society. Guided by the University
of Melbourne’s strategy of Growing Esteem,
our community of staff and students continue to contribute strongly in each of the three important
elements of a world-class university:
- Research – Faculty of Science researchers operate at the highest levels internationally
across a breadth of disciplines, contributing to the store of human knowledge, finding applications
that benefit society and informing teaching programs which position our students for the international
marketplace;
- Learning and Teaching – attracting the best and brightest from around Australia and
internationally, Science at Melbourne offers a broad range of disciplines to prepare scientists
and professionals for the challenges of tomorrow;
- Knowledge Transfer – by engaging with industry, schools and our community locally and
around the world, our staff, students and alumni are able to define, analyse and help solve complex
issues in science and business.
We are proud of who we are and our achievements.
