Our international presence

With a unique international profile spanning four continents, Monash University can draw on perspectives and resources that most other universities can't. That's a very powerful combination. With campuses in Australia, Malaysia and South Africa and an active research and teaching centre in Italy, Monash has an impressive international footprint.

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. Monash has more than 21,000 international students. The quality of the international student experience is fundamental to the University's success.

International staff

Monash actively recruits talented staff from around the world and currently employs more than 15,000 staff worldwide (7597 full-time equivalent).

International curriculum

Monash has consciously developed curricula to prepare graduates for the global workforce, or for further study. Innovative programs such as the Bachelor of Arts (Global) combine a specialised global curriculum with the opportunity to spend a semester or more studying at Monash's global campuses and partner institutions abroad.

International alumni

The University has established an alumni network of 270,000 graduates, with many working in leadership positions around the world.

If Australia is to be a player in the knowledge economy of the 21st Century, Monash University has a clear role in leading engagement with the rest of the world in true partnerships, with a clear physical presence in a number of strategic offshore locations.
