About University of Melbourne
The University of Melbourne was established by an act of the Victorian colonial parliament in 1853 and began teaching at Parkville, just north of the city centre, in 1855. It is Australia's second-oldest university. In 2008 it introduced the 'Melbourne Model', under which professional fields such as law and medicine are taught at graduate level after a broad undergraduate degree.
