Currently Melbourne alumni can be found in 101 countries around the world.
Master of Information Systems graduates are also automatically eligible for membership of the University of Melbourne Information Systems Alumni (UMISA) network. UMISA promotes University of Melbourne ICT graduates to industry, and assists graduates to keep in touch and network with one another - regardless of where their careers or entrepreneurship may take them.
