You'll also benefit from the extra choices that come with studying at Australia's largest university. We have more courses, more study options, more research projects, and more international exchanges, giving you a broader education that will set you apart from your peers.
We're truly international too. With students from over 170 countries, and a presence in Australia, Italy, Malaysia, India, South Africa and China, you'll benefit from a truly global education. The thing that is the most special about Monash is our desire to make a difference. You'll leave with a greater sense of purpose, a global outlook, and the skills and confidence to make a positive change - to your own life, and to the lives of those around you.
As well as discipline expertise, a Monash education provides you with the skills sought after by employers. This includes communication, collaboration, problem solving, innovation, intercultural competence and leadership. The development of these skills is integrated into the teaching of every degree. Skill development is also enhanced by the Monash connection to a truly global network and the fact that you will be learning from your local, interstate and international peers.
Many of our degree and co-curricular programs also provide you with the opportunity to focus in on the development of particular skills in keeping with your needs and interests. Wanting to develop your leadership skills? We have units of study and programs that target this. Needing to develop your intercultural competence? There's a wide range of units, programs and opportunities that will let you do this.
A Monash degree offers experiences within the classroom and beyond that prepare you for the world of work. Our learning spaces get you engaging with your peers, solving problems in simulated workplaces or working within the latest research infrastructure. Professional placements are a hallmark of our health, pharmacy and education degrees but also a feature of our education in other fields such as IT, business and design.
Our degree and co-curricular programs also offer a wide range of other experiences such as industry projects, international travel, hackathons and research opportunities. This means you can graduate having refined your knowledge and skill in the real world and ready to apply your learning to the workplace.
