About Health

Our research-informed, industry-led, globally transformative courses are developed and delivered by leaders in health education through the University’s connections with hospitals, research institutes and the public and private sectors in Australia and overseas.

Our Parkville campus is in the heart of the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct – the largest in the southern-hemisphere and a globally leading health research and teaching hub. You’ll be taught, mentored and guided at the intersection of research, teaching, clinical practice, industry, and Government health policy – all of which makes for a stimulating learning environment.
