Best Universities in Australia

Australia flag

Australia is one of the most desirable countries in the world to live, work and study. With a high quality of living, a warm climate and an outdoor lifestyle, maybe you are feeling tempted for a trip Down Under.

Whether you live in Australia, or are keen to study here, there are so many world recognised places to take a degree but choosing where to study can be difficult.

The Melbourne Institute (operated by the University of Melbourne) has recently produced Australian Universities ranking.

This table shows the standardised rankings from the quantitative survey conducted by the Melbourne Institute into the international standing of Australian universities.

The Institute examined a number of variables to determine this standardised ranking, including the international standing of staff, graduate programs, undergrad intake, undergrad programs, resources, and the views of Deans and CEOs.
