Parkville campus

Our community

The close contact between staff and students on our specialist campus fosters a supportive community in the heart of Australia's top health and biomedical precinct.

Our neighbours include major hospitals, the University of Melbourne, the Comprehensive Cancer Centre, the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, the Howard Florey Institute, CSL Limited, the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research and CSIRO's Division of Health Sciences.

Surrounded by parks, we're a short tram ride from central Melbourne and within walking distance of the vibrant inner-city suburbs of Carlton and Brunswick, which have contributed much to Melbourne's artistic and multicultural soul.

It's also home to our research arms, the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
