The University of Melbourne has a long term goal, to be one of the finest universities in the world. Growing Esteem is the University's strategy to achieve high regard for making distinctive contributions to society.
The strategy is conceived with the metaphor of a triple helix—three strands of core activities, each sharply focused and well-resourced, and all mutually supportive.
The core activities of the University of Melbourne are research and research training, learning and teaching and knowledge transfer.
