Due to Carlton's close proximity to the Parkville campus of the University of Melbourne, many university-owned buildings can be found around Carlton, as a result of the university's expansion through the years.
This includes the University Square redevelopment, where the state-of-the-art Law and ICT buildings and a new underground carpark are located.
However, the University's continued expansion into Carlton is opposed by some residents.
Two of the University's residential colleges are located in Carlton; Medley Hall is located on Drummond Street, while Graduate House is on Leicester Street.
Graduate House is a residential college for graduate students only and does not admit any undergraduate students.

Melbourne Business School, Melbourne Law School and part of RMIT University's City Campus are also located in Carlton.

Victoria and Tasmania's Catholic seminary, Corpus Christi College, is located on Drummond Street.
The college accommodates forty seminarians who are studying to become priests.

Primary education is provided by two schools; Carlton Gardens Primary School and Carlton Primary School.
CGPS was founded in 1884 and is one of Melbourne's oldest schools and the closest to the Melbourne CBD.

The Melbourne University Regiment (MUR) is based in Grattan Street, Carlton.
MUR serves to train potential officers in the Australian Army Reserve.
MUR was founded in 1884 as D company, 4th Battalion of the Victorian Rifles, and changed to its current name and role in 1948.
Famous alumni include Sir John Monash, Sir Robert Menzies, Sir Ninian Stephen, Barry Humphries, and Andrew Peacock.
