The University of Melbourne is a public institution that was founded in 1853. The university has seven campuses located across Melbourne and other areas of Victoria, Australia. The school's main site is the Parkville campus, and both undergraduate and graduate students can reside in one of several nearby residential colleges. Other sites are the Southbank, Burnley, Creswick, Dookie, Shepparton and Werribee campuses. Tuition costs at the University of Melbourne vary by subject and are higher for international students. Dentistry, veterinary science and medicine are among the university's more expensive programs.Undergraduate students at the University of Melbourne choose from several bachelor's degree options: agriculture, arts, biomedicine, commerce, design, environments, fine arts, music, oral health and science. They then choose more specific majors within these broad degree categories. Extended Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science programs are also available for indigenous students. The University of Melbourne also has nearly 20 graduate schools, including the Melbourne Business School, the Melbourne Medical School and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music. The university has five Melbourne Research Institutes that encourage collaboration between university researchers, as well as involvement from industry, government and nonprofit organizations. The institutes focus on neuroscience, sustainable society, networked society, energy and social equity. One research achievement associated with the University of Melbourne came in the 1970s, when researchers developed the cochlear implant, an electronic device used to restore a sense of sound to people with severe hearing loss.
