STUDENT SERVICESMonash invests heavily in teaching and learning facilities. It has state-of-the-art multi-media lecture theatres, over 2,500 computer work stations and libraries that contain approximately three million items.
The University is more than a place to study, though. It offers the chance to join a community that supports academic achievement, personal growth and lasting friendships. Supporting a Student Services Centre is the Student Information Index, a weblink to clubs and societies, associations, chaplains, disability services, sports facilities, health services, learning support, legal advice, transport, fees, computer access and timetables - all at the tips of your fingers.
GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESMany courses at Monash provide opportunities to combine work and study through internships and work experience in public and private sector entities. Placement units (where students work for an external organisation) can in some cases be tied to a research project within a degree.

Graduates successfully transition to the workforce given Monash's status as one of Australia's best higher education institutions and its recognition globally.
