The School brings together a lively and engaging program of teaching and research that offers a wide variety of courses and subjects. The History Program has been at the forefront of the study of history in Australia since 1854. In terms of the scale and standing of its staff and research fellows, the size of its graduate research school, the number of postdoctoral fellows, and number of competitive research grants awarded, the History program at Melbourne is one of the largest and most significant in Australia.
