The Study Melbourne Everyday Heroes program allows international students to discover the best of Melbourne and Victoria, meet new friends, and gain practical tips and advice on how to successfully live and study here.

Whether it’s a competitive trivia night with pizza, learning to balance work and study, or an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks, there’s something for everyone!

Through a diverse range of events, students can meet and make new friends, connect with professionals and leaders in their community, and foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

Students are encouraged to share their stories and be a part of a community that values diversity. More than just a series of events, this program is a platform for building robust support networks, making lasting friendships, and celebrating individuality.
