Unlike some other countries, there is no official or well-established university ranking in Australia., We list the Melbourne Institute Rankings here, which are the only significant source of such information for Australian universities. This research was carried out by Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research at the University of Melbourne. You can also check the SHJT world university ranking for more ranking info for Australian universities.
There might be some institutions that haven't participated in any ranking, we suggest you look at the more information column to view their courses/programs and more.
