The Melbourne Institute is the first research institute to be set up in an Australian university for the purpose of conducting research into a wide range of macro-economic, micro-economic and social-economic issues.

Learning by Doing

A PhD candidate at the Melbourne Institute contributes as an integral member of a research team in one of the Melbourne Institute's research programs. This hands-on experience enhances research training and promotes the development of good research skills. Moreover, the diversity of active projects at the Melbourne Institute introduces students to the breadth and depth of research questions and methodologies.

International Visiting Scholars

Academic staff at the Melbourne Institute collaborate with a wide range of national and international scholars. There is an active international visiting scholar program as well as active seminar and workshop programs. PhD students are strongly encouraged, from the outset, to be part of the international community of scholars.
