Sustainability needs women and girls in science
On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let’s recognise that science has an image problem and fix it.
At the University of Melbourne, our Faculty of Science is a global leader across fundamental and applied scientific research and education.
Our strength is our breadth of expertise. Comprising seven schools, we offer a range of undergraduate, honours, graduate and research degrees, teaching more than 15,000 students. This depth of knowledge positions us to better understand, explore and impact our world within a truly comprehensive Faculty of Science.
