Study at an international Monash campus (Australia, Malaysia and South Africa)

With campuses in Australia, Malaysia and South Africa, Monash makes it really easy to spend one or two semesters overseas as part of your Monash degree.  This is the Monash intercampus exchange program.

• Monash students at any of the six Victorian campuses can spend a semester in Malaysia or South Africa.
• Monash students in Malaysia or South Africa can go to any Victorian campus.
• Monash Malaysia students can go to Monash South Africa and vice versa.

  • Engineering students must complete 48 credit points if they are doing chemical, electrical, computer systems, mechanical or mechatronics engineering or 96 credit points for all other courses - this applies to intercampus exchanges to Monash Malaysia only and exchanges to all other destinations require 96 credit points
