The world is your classroom
ARE you looking for exposure overseas? How about having an Australian experience and education but paying your tuition fees in Malaysian ringgit?
If you are a student at Monash University Malaysia, you are already part of the Monash network, and studying overseas is easy.
As a Monash student, you can participate in exchange programmes and study at Monash campuses in South Africa ( Ruimsig) and Australia ( Clayton, Parkville, Caulfield, Berwick and Peninsula).
Or, you can opt to spend one or two semesters at its 150 partner universities in 30 countries. International locations include Italy, New Caledonia, France, Chile, the United Kingdom, Indonesia and Rwanda, among others.
Affordable option
As an exchange student, you will remain enrolled at Monash Malaysia and continue to receive credit for your overseas study towards your degree.
With the rising cost of living and the Goods and Services Tax in Malaysia, being an exchange student is a more affordable option for those who want an international experience.
Many students who have taken advantage of the exchange programme shared that studying abroad not only prepares them to face challenges in the future, it also fosters personal growth, heightens intellectual capabilities and develops intercultural sensitivity and adaptability.
These desirable traits provide you with a competitive edge when seeking employment.
“I truly believe that anyone who has the opportunity to go on exchange in Melbourne should seize it,” says School of Arts and Social Sciences student Chan Hui Cin.
“Melbourne is truly one of the most ‘ liveable’ cities in the world with great food, great transport system and great people.
“The exchange opened my eyes to many different aspects of the world and I have grown to appreciate my family, food, home and nature more, simply from being in another country and experiencing a different culture.”
Intercampus exchange
For international exchange programmes or intercampus exchange to Monash South Africa, you may also be eligible for a Monash Abroad Travel Scholarship worth RM8,000 per semester.
Student exchange is dependent on unit prerequisites at the partner university, sufficient course credit points, student average grades and matching semesters.
Monash University Malaysia is a full- fledged campus of Monash University – a premier research- intensive Australian university ranked among the top 100 universities in the world by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, and a member of Australia’s prestigious Group of Eight ( Go8).
