Vice-Chancellor's Fellows
Vice-Chancellor's Fellowships were established in 1997 to provide "in residence" status for distinguished public figures, giving them access to a scholarly environment and inviting them to work on projects of value to the University and wider community.
The University of Melbourne has appointed Vice-Chancellor's Fellows from a broad range of disciplines and backgrounds, including former State Premiers and composers, molecular biologists and newscasters. During their tenure, Vice-Chancellor's Fellows make distinctive and deeply valued contributions to the scholarly and public life of the University.
Appointment is usually for one year, and may be taken part-time over several years.
