澳洲大學40所──墨爾本大學 University of Melbourne

From this perspective alone, Melbourne is a great choice. It’s consistently ranked among the leading universities in the world, with its international peers placing it in the top 20 worldwide, and employers placing it in the top 10. In the prestigious 2011 Times Higher Education rankings of the world’s top 200 universities, Melbourne ranked top in Australia and 37 in the world.

墨爾本大學已連續多年在全球大學之間排名全球前二十。2011年<時代雜誌>的全球等教育院校前兩百排名更是將本校排在全澳洲第一、世界第三十七。

The result means the University of Melbourne is the highest placed Australian university in three of the four major world rankings.

The University is also Australia’s leader in the Shanghai Jiao Tong and Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan rankings, and second nationally in the QS table.

本校也獲上海交通大學和台灣財團法人高等教育評鑑中心評為澳洲頂尖，且在QS大學排名中為全國第二。

Melbourne’s membership of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities and U21, as well as involvement in other international business and cultural institutions like the Business Councils for China, India and Malaysia means its reputation precedes it.

With the Melbourne curriculum now aligning the University with the world’s top universities in Europe, North America and Asia, it’s a great choice for developing the skills and attributes required by employers all over the world.

Melbourne also produces and is associated with scholars of truly international standing. Nobel Prize winners like Professor Peter Doherty, Professor Sir James Mirrlees and Professor Elizabeth Blackburn and well-known academic Professor Peter Singer are among the scholars, visiting scholars and alumni of the University.

本校目前是環太平洋大學聯盟、全球二十一所優秀研究型大學聯盟的會員，同時也與中國、印度、馬來西亞的商業協會進行交流。目前本校課程安排都與歐洲、北美、亞洲的頂尖大學同步，師資包括多位諾貝爾獎得主的教授、研究學者。

Next-door to Melbourne’s CBD, the University of Melbourne’s location, you have to admit, is a pretty big attraction. It’s close to transport, fantastic cafes, arts and sports venues and accommodation. Everything is accessible.
Speaking of accommodation, living at one of the 12 University-affiliated residential colleges really is worth considering. Colleges are a cost-effective option when compared with private rental accommodation and they can help with that transition period of settling into uni life.

As a way of meeting people, joining a club (or two or three) is a great idea. Many departments have their own clubs and societies that give you access to networks, social activities and support. Other clubs cater to special interests like social justice, environmental issues and politics, or indulge your passion for chocolate, cooking, Star Trek or debating.
Union House is at the heart of the Parkville campus; here you’ll find food, coffee and shops as well as Student Union services like advocacy, legal advice and opportunities for work.

There is also the Rowden White Library with an extensive DVD and CD burning collection.
