Frequently Asked Questions

How many universities are there in Australia?

There are 39 officially chartered, licensed or accredited Australian higher-education institution(s) that meet uniRank's selection criteria.

Is this A-Z list the same as uniRank's Australian university ranking?

No. This page lists Australian universities alphabetically for easy lookup, while uniRank's 2026 Australian University Ranking orders the same 39 institutions according to uniRank's web-metric-based ranking methodology. Each institution's country ranking position is also shown in the right-hand column of this list.

Does alphabetical order reflect a university's quality or web popularity ranking?

No. Alphabetical order is based solely on the institution name and does not indicate academic quality, reputation or uniRank's ranking position. For web popularity-based ordering, see uniRank's 2026 Australian University Ranking.

How many universities in Australia start with each letter of the alphabet?

The Australian universities in this list start with the following letters: A (2), B (1), C (4), D (1), E (1), F (2), G (1), J (1), L (1), M (3), Q (1), R (1), S (2), T (8), U (8), V (1), W (1).

Can I search this list by location instead of name?

Yes. uniRank also provides an Australian Universities by Town/City listing that allows institutions to be browsed by their main campus town or city instead of alphabetically.
