Clayton campus

The campus is located 20 kilometres south-east of Melbourne and is home to eight of the University's 10 faculties. It has a proud history and growing future for its many successful research and development programs.

Clayton campus celebrates multiculturalism and equality, with cultural and educational events and facilities designed to represent its diverse student body. Religious centres and spiritual spaces are available to students from a multiplicity of faiths.

On campus, there are outstanding sporting facilities and a campus centre which houses essential student services, including a medical centre, a post office, shops, banks, cafes and numerous food outlets. In addition to libraries, book stores, and a student theatre, there is a hair and beauty salon. Students and staff look forward to outdoor markets every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the courtyard at the northern end of the Campus Centre (building 10) at Clayton campus.
