The Monash Study Abroad program offers you the opportunity to enhance your academic experience whilst studying in Melbourne, Australia’s sporting, educational and cultural capital.
You are free to choose a range of units from any of the 10 faculties at Monash University.
In addition to its six Australian campuses, Monash has campuses in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Johannesburg, South Africa.
Monash was the first foreign university invited to establish a campus in Malaysia and now the campus has a thriving student population of more than 3,800.
Monash South Africa was established in 2001 and draws students from across Africa and beyond. The campus is expected to enrol more than 2,400 students in 2008.
The University also has a centre in Prato, Italy, used as a base to engage closely with European research centres and also to provide the opportunity for experience abroad as part of undergraduate programs.
International alliances
Strategic partnerships with the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Bombay and others currently under negotiation with considerable partners in China and North America will ensure that Monash University has a physical research presence on five continents.
Each partnership will establish leverage off Monash research capabilities to benefit both the host nation and Australia.
International students
Monash is an acknowledged leader in education of international students. The international student experience is vital to Monash life — both in terms of the number of students who leave Australia to study abroad, and those from abroad who come to Australia.
More than 31 per cent of Monash students are international and because the University is Australia’s largest, with more than 58,000 students, Monash has more international students than any other Australian university.
The quality of the international student experience is fundamental to the University’s success.
Monash Abroad runs an orientation program conducted over several days and allows you to meet other students and learn about Monash. It includes a campus tour, which involves teaming you up with a Monash ‘Mate’.
As a Study Abroad student, you will have full access to all facilities that Monash has to offer, including the recreational facilities, libraries, computer labs and Language and Learning Services.
