Future Students
Each strand of the metaphoric triple-helix is relevant to the opportunities provided for future students at the University of Melbourne.
Study undertaken by research higher degree students, including PhD and masters by research students, is part of the research and research training strand. Within this strand the university concentrates on our research performance; research training performance; and cross-disciplinary, inter-institutional and international research.
Learning and teaching is the strand within which much of the coursework-student experience of occurs. This includes coursework coherence and quality; a Melbourne experience for students; and meeting our social mobility goals.
Just as a student experience at the University would not be complete without research, so too knowledge transfer is intricately linked to the education we offer. Knowledge transfer is about direct, two-way interactions between the University and its external communities, which involve the development, exchange and application of knowledge and expertise for mutual benefit. For students this may take many forms including listening to guest lecturers from industry experts or involvement in volunteer opportunities or viewing our cultural collections.

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 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.
