Monash University

Monash is more than a place to study. It offers you the chance to join a community that supports academic achievement, personal growth and the development of lasting friendships.

Orientation Week welcomes all our new students and connects them via a network of 150 clubs and societies, student associations and a host of support services including a campus centre, prayer rooms, learning support, and health and disability services.

To make your transition as easy as possible, Monash Residential Services is a dedicated support unit that can help you to find suitable accommodation, whether it is temporary, on-campus halls of residence or off-campus lodgings. Staying in halls offers the greatest flexibility – you can jump out of bed to get to the lecture theatre on time and enjoy Monash campus life to the full!

Monash offers all our students the chance to get work experience while they study. If you are interested in Industry Based Learning, you can access internships in the Faculties of Arts; Business and Economics; Education; Engineering; Information Technology (IT); and Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences (MNHS).

For example, Business and Economics partnerships include L’Oreal, Adidas, Deloitte, GM Holden, Mondelez, PWC and EY. Use the opportunity to add to your CV, and gain workplace skills and experience in a new country.
