About
Why Environmental Science at Melbourne?
We represent an intellectual community of researchers and students from diverse fields with a common interest in our environmental future. By bringing together discipline-based strengths and fostering linkages across and external to the University, Environmental Science at Melbourne takes a collaborative approach to tackling some of the world's most pressing environmental problems - sustainable resources, energy, food security, pollution, global warming, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions.
We are an access point for researchers, industry, government and community groups seeking to work with our academics and students.
The University of Melbourne is ranked number 13 in the world for the study of environmental science.

Burnley campus
The Burnley Campus is a dynamic multidisciplinary research centre with a focus on green infrastructure, urban ecology, ecohydrology and forest science. It is renowned for teaching and research in environmental and ornamental horticulture. Set on 9 hectares of heritage-listed gardens, the grounds began operating as a learning centre at the forefront of horticultural education in 1891. A strong collective of academics and contributors continue to develop education in horticultural processes to meet industry demands.
