The legislation establishing the University of Melbourne was introduced late in 1852 and passed early in 1853, making the university older than all the universities in England except Oxford, Cambridge, Durham and London. The foundation stone was laid in July 1854, and the first four professors arrived early in 1855. The University commenced with 16 students and has now grown to 40,000 students and 6,000 staff. In 2003, the University of Melbourne celebrated 150 years of academic excellence and the remarkable individuals that have been part of the University throughout its history.
The University campus is located a short tram ride from the CBD in leafy Parkville. Its numerous amenities and state of the art facilities make it an ideal conference location.
