It is also notable for being one of Australia’s best preserved cities architecturally. In terms of universities, like Sydney, it boasts two Go8 institutions, the University of Melbourne (ranked 36th in the world) and Monash University (61), as well as the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (246), La Trobe University (375), Deakin University (401-450) and Swinburne University of Technology (451-500).
