The Hon. Gayle Tierney MLC Minister for Training and Skills Level 1, 2 Treasury Place East Melbourne Vic 3002 16 March 2018 Dear Minister In accordance with the requirements of regulations and financial reporting directions under the Financial Management Act 1994, I am pleased to submit for your information and presentation to Parliament the Annual Report of the University of Melbourne for the year ending 31 December 2017. The University of Melbourne Council endorsed the Annual Report at its meeting on Wednesday 14 March. 2017 was a successful year for the University. Student demand remained strong at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Academic and professional staff performed at a high level. The University’s research activity has maintained its impressive national and international profile. This is reflected in international university rankings, success in attracting research funding, and many awards and honours recognising the contributions of our academic staff. The University is embarking on a significant program of infrastructure development that will support the future of teaching and learning, innovation, and research. Transformative precinct projects, such as the New Student Precinct and the Engineering 2025 Program, will set the benchmark for future generations of students and researchers. The Parkville campus will be home to a new innovation precinct on the former Royal Women’s Hospital site, and a second campus for Engineering will be established at Fishermans Bend to support our industry-engaged research. In 2017 the University hosted the first Global Universities Engagement Summit, and the first cohort was inducted into the Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity program. The Science Gallery Melbourne launched its first exhibition, Blood: Attract and Repel, as planning commences to establish the gallery as a distinctive public presence in the innovation precinct. The University continued to make good progress towards reaching its target of raising $1 billion in philanthropic donations and deepening its relationships with alumni worldwide. The University of Melbourne Council is committed to leading the institution as it carries out Growing Esteem 2015–2020, the University’s strategy for being one of the finest universities in the world. Yours sincerely Allan J Myers AC QC Chancellor The 2017 Annual Report of the University of Melbourne highlights a number of successes achieved by students, academic and professional staff members and the scholarly community. These achievements both reflect and advance the goals of the University’s strategic plan Growing Esteem 2015 – 2020, which focus on scholarship, service, research impact, opportunity, student satisfaction and recruitment, teaching, engagement, sustainability, rankings and connection. In 2017 the University celebrated the 10th year of our ‘Melbourne Model’. This distinctive Melbourne curriculum continued to attract welcome levels of national and international student attention. Internationally, 36 per cent of the University’s 2017 student population came from overseas, while 55 per cent of the student population was enrolled in postgraduate courses. Responding to the ‘disruption’ of spreading digital technologies, the University expanded to 27 the number of wholly online graduate level award courses. Simultaneously, we continued vigorous work to enhance the traditional student experience through major investment in new learning spaces and extensive campus developments. The University’s leadership also worked closely with student leaders to conduct a highly visible ‘Respect’ campaign to promote a safe and welcoming campus environment. The University’s research community also achieved significant results in 2017, reflected in the continuing ‘number one’ ranking for Australia and, according to the Shanghai Jiao-tong Academic Ranking of World Universities, number 39 internationally. Research income earned for the year was $475 million. This compared with a year’s income research figure of $374 five years earlier. The 2017 research income figure included $171 million in grants from the National Health and Medical Research Council and Australian Research Council. The number of highly cited researchers at the University rose to 20. Meanwhile we maintained our focus on building research partnerships at local, state, national and international levels. The University’s engagement work also flourished in 2017. Highlights included commencement of the Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity program, arts sector programs including the University’s partnering with the National Gallery of Victoria to support the highly successful Van Gogh and the Seasons exhibition, and the first Science Gallery Melbourne exhibition, Blood: Repel and Attract. The University’s partnerhips with Indigenous communities were advanced, with two highlights being the Dungala Kaiela Oration in Shepparton and the Narrm Oration at Parkville. A significant industry partnership was forged with the creation of BioCurate, a joint venture between the University of Melbourne, Monash University and the Government of Victoria. The University’s entrenched its commitment to principles of environmental and social sustainability through publication of its Sustainability Plan. The University’s philanthropy campaign Believe: the Campaign for the University of Melbourne attracted many generous donations and a high level of alumni participation, with 385 094 people engaged by the end of 2017. Finally in 2017, a competitive and successful global search led to the appointment of the University’s next Vice-Chancellor, Professor Duncan Maskell of Cambridge University. It has been my pleasure to serve the University in this capacity since 2005, and I look forward to Melbourne continuing to flourish under the leadership of its next Vice-Chancellor. Professor Glyn Davis AC Vice-Chancellor 2 Annual Report 2017 Consistently ranked among the top 40 universities globally Known for service to the nation, recognising the responsibilities that follow national Providing opportunities for students from all cultures higher education leadership and all backgrounds to successfully participate in the educational, cultural and social life of the University Known for research and impact, underpinned by a comprehensive and Achieving student satisfaction and world-leading discipline base graduate outcomes comparable to the best universities in the world The Melbourne Vision The University of Melbourne is committed to being one of the finest universities in the world, contributing to society in ways that enrich and transform our lives.

  • State Library Victoria Receives Extraordinary Rare Book Donation
    State Library Victoria receives extraordinary rare book donation State Library Victoria receives the “most significant donation of rare books in its 160 year history” More than 5000 rare books estimated at over $5 million with an endowment of over $1.3 million State Library Victoria is honoured to receive one of the world’s great rare book collections from the late John Emmerson QC. An Oxford physicist and later a Melbourne barrister, John Emmerson dedicated over 40 years to amassing one of the most significant collections of early modern printed books and pamphlets in the world. The extraordinary collection encompasses more than 5000 rare printed books spanning over 400 years from the 15th to the 18th century, including political, religious, philosophical and literary works. Among the treasures are King Charles I’s own personal copy of his father King James’ writings, a 15th century Nuremburg bible belonging to Archbishop of Canterbury William Juxon (who offered last rites to King Charles I), some of the world’s earliest newspapers, and editions of many literary greats. This is considered to be one of the largest and most valuable collections of rare English books and printed materials surrounding the King Charles I era and the English Civil War of the 1640s, with the only comparable collections belonging to the British Library and Oxford’s Bodleian Library. State Library Victoria’s History of the Book Manager Des Cowley says: “The rare book collection donated by John Emmerson is quite simply the most significant ever received by the State Library in its 160 year history.” “From treasures that belonged to King Charles himself to pamphlets documenting his trial and execution, to illustrated early editions of works by John Milton and other literary greats, the collection is significant not just for the sheer quantity but the quality of the works – who they belonged to and how beautifully they’ve been maintained,” he says.
