The Sum of Our Parts
As children, most of us wanted to be movie stars and secret agents, firefighters and astronauts. As time goes by, we change. We consider careers as journalists and marketers, bankers and management consultants. But when is the moment we make that choice, and what does it take to make an informed decision? For Bachelor of Commerce student Tina Tian, it was the industry experience she gained from internships and the Management consulting subject that set her course.

Rising Star Fernando Tamayo
“Entrepreneurship is not about success on a daily basis. It’s actually the opposite. It’s about waiting and persevering, and suddenly all that hard work gives you a little bit of luck. That’s when you really start working. In that regard, it’s like raising a kid, you plan for them, when they’re born you don’t sleep, and even when they’re 18 you might have some problems. But you love them, and they’re always there.” – Fernando Tamayo, YAQUA Founder.

Message from our Deans
It is a privilege to work with world class academics and professional staff, the brightest students, alumni and other stakeholders, that make up the vibrant community of business and economics at the University of Melbourne.
Our reputation and rankings remain strong, yet there is so much more potential to join the world’s top universities in business and economics. We are committed to enhancing our applied research outcomes, expanding our curriculum and bolstering our connections with industry to help shape the world of business and economics in Australia and internationally.
The global economy is becoming increasingly competitive and business and economics education must be responsive to this dynamic environment. Our curriculum is continually informed by research and industry insights to be bold, rigorous and global in outlook.
Producing industry ready graduates and through impactful research, our Faculty informs and advances the policy and practice that underpins the ever evolving business, economic and social environment in which we live.
