Other ways to support us
-
An annual celebration of our most talented students and staff. The awards, which are generously sponsored by corporate and industry bodies, acknowledge outstanding academic achievements. Past recipients are amongst our most accomplished alumni. The awards would not be possible without the support of benefactors, including companies and organisations such as Bates Smart Pty, AECOM, Australian Institute of Building and the Australian Property Institute.
-
Studio-based learning, advocated by the University of Melbourne, has proved an effective model of learning producing industry-ready graduates. This practical approach requires significant resources and equipment which is often funded by industry benefactors. Donating supplies is a simple yet meaningful way of partnering with us and providing our students with vital resources and experiences.
-
A bequest in your Will is a unique way to support educational excellence and opportunity. Bequests provide valuable support to programs and the Faculty, making a positive and long-lasting impact on the lives of our students and researchers. You can ensure that the people and causes you hold dear are treated the way you wish for generations to come. Your generosity has the potential to significantly transform the lives of our students and researchers and reinvigorate the built and natural environment. Anyone who makes a bequest automatically becomes a member of the Heritage Society at the University of Melbourne.
