What is the Faculty of Science - University of Melbourne website?
Updated
science.unimelb.edu.au is the official website of the Faculty of Science at the University of Melbourne. It is the faculty's own site rather than the university's main homepage, and it presents the faculty's teaching, research, and community information. The faculty describes itself as one of the most highly regarded science faculties in Australia and as internationally recognised for expanding the frontiers of knowledge for the betterment of society.
Who the site is for
The site serves several audiences, and what you get from it depends on which one you are:
- Prospective students — people checking what science study at Melbourne involves before applying.
- Current students — those already in the faculty looking for faculty-level information.
- Researchers — people interested in the faculty's research areas and activity.
- Partners and the broader community — organisations and individuals engaging with the faculty.
What it covers
Based on the faculty's own description, the site is organised around three broad areas:
| Area | What it addresses |
|---|---|
| Teaching | The faculty's educational role and study information |
| Research | Its research activity and contribution to knowledge |
| Community | Information for and about the faculty's wider community |
When it is worth using
Use this site when you need information attributed to the Faculty of Science specifically — for example, to confirm how the faculty describes itself, or to find faculty-level teaching and research content. If you need university-wide information such as central admissions, fees, or institution-wide policies, the University of Melbourne's main site is the more appropriate source.
One caveat: the available record of this site does not include details such as specific courses, fees, or contact routes. Treat it as the faculty's official entry point and follow links from there for anything more specific.
