Established in 1922, Melbourne University Press is Australia’s first university press and one of Australia’s oldest and most respected publishing houses. Operating out of offices located on the University of Melbourne campus, its award-winning list includes high-quality general non-fiction and scholarly works for broad and academic readers alike, as well as lavishly illustrated art, photography, historical and biographical titles, and the esteemed Meanjin literary magazine.  

 

MUP will be recognised as the most authoritative scholarly press within Australia and the region: Southeast Asia, the Asia Pacific and South Asia.  

 

MUP’s mission is to publish books which provide trusted information and commentary and enriching art and culture to all those with an active, open, humane interest in the world around them.

MUP’s publishing program is overseen by its CEO and Publisher and an Editorial Advisory Board of esteemed scholars from within and outside the University of Melbourne. Together, the Publisher and Editorial Advisory Board undertake a rigorous selection process, ensuring every book MUP publishes is in line with its vision and mission, and is of the quality for which we have long been known.
