Employers and industry
As a provider of graduates, a research institution and an entity of significant community stature, the University of Melbourne has much to offer employers and industry.
Within the Growing Esteem strategy, the University has three areas on which it concentrates: research and research training, learning and teaching, and knowledge transfer. External organisation can have a significant role in each area.
Commercialisation of knowledge can supprt the needs of government, industry and the University alike, and by accessing our resarch expertise government, small and large businesses, the wider community and the University can benefit. The University's research training also provides the opportunity to access graduate researchers with highly skilled supervisors.
The learning and teaching strand of the University offers services for employers including opportunities to recruit new graduates and a free online facility for verifying a graduate's qualification. The University also consults with employers and industry in relation to our coursework education.
Knowledge transfer is the strand under which our engagement with employers and industry operates. We aim for a coordinated approach to engaging with potential and existing partners and seek a two-way transfer of knowledge between the University and employers and industry.

About Growing Esteem
What is Growing Esteem?
- Growing Esteem is the University of Melbourne's strategy, developed by extensive consultation with the University in 2005. It sets priorities for the University including a continuing focus on research, learning and teaching and an expanded focus on knowledge transfer, as well as envisaging a "triple helix" in which the three strands of research and research training, learning and teaching and knowledge transfer are closely bound, each reinforcing the other.
Why is it called 'Growing Esteem'?
- The name Growing Esteem is derived from the University of Melbourne's motto, postera crescam laude (Horace Odes, 3.30.7-8). A common translation is 'I shall grow in the esteem of future generations', and so the name Growing Esteem reflects the University's desire to ensure its reputation and contribution in decades to come.
About the Melbourne Model
What is the Melbourne Model?
- The Melbourne Model is a new structure of education being introduced at the University of Melbourne. It based on six broad undergraduate programs followed by a professional graduate degree, research higher degree or entry directly into employment. The emphasis on academic breadth as well as disciplinary depth in the new degrees aims for graduates to have the capacity to negotiate their way in a world where knowledge boundaries are shifting.
- More information is available on the Melbourne Model or from the Provost’s Office Melbourne Model page.
