International Plan
The International Plan provides a strategic framework for university international-related activities to strengthen priority setting and to increase the focus for engagement leading to enhanced quality teaching and research outcomes.
Developing and sustaining international engagement is an integral part of the assessment of the University of Melbourne as one of the finest universities in the world, by fulfilling responsibilities and expectations in learning and teaching, research and research training, alumni relations, regional development and community service at the highest level.

The International Plan is embedded in the University Plan so that the goals and strategies for enhanced international engagement are a driving force in each of the three strands of the Growing Esteem triple helix. In Research the focus has been on continuing to build the University's international research profile by producing world-significant research and attracting increased international research funding. In Learning and Teaching the priority has been to make the Melbourne Experience a truly international one by internationalising the curriculum, introducing strategies to meet the different needs of our culturally diverse international student population and producing globally aware graduates with a rich understanding of other cultures. Knowledge Transfer activities have concentrated on revitalising international alumni networks and developing our global profile through strengthened engagement with major international companies.
