Thanks for your interest in Journal! Watch out for some Journal emails coming your way soon.
We want everyone at Journal to get the most from their time living in Melbourne. That’s why our community life program, Journal Life has full program of activities with a focus on health, culture, community, studying and leadership. Our events are designed to introduce students to each other, support academic achievement and wellbeing, and help everyone explore the city of Melbourne.
Journal scholarships are open to both Australian and international students. They can help you get the most out of your education at a leading Melbourne university while benefitting from living at Journal.
Unfortunately, Journal scholarships for Semester 1 2024 are no longer available.
Please check back in later for scholarships next semester.
Career workshops
For current Journal students, we facilitate career workshops to help give you real-world professional insights into various industries, community organisations and local service providers. Be sure to register for them to make the most out of living at Journal!
Working with our professional student life team, our Student Leaders provide a link between Journal residents, staff and management. Student Leaders support all residents to get the most out of their Journal experience. If you’re a great communicator, becoming a Student Leader is a fantastic way to develop your own leadership skills, while helping to enhance our vibrant community.

My room is really cozy and I love the pinboard that is part of our study table. It really allows us to personalise our space. The ensuite bathroom is also designed really well to give sufficient space for showering and also storing our necessities.

I like the games area at Journal Uni Place most because I have so many valuable memories there with my friends and it is an absolutely fantastic place for me after a full day of studying.
