Pre-departure briefings

In order to assist new students and their families, staff from Monash University will conduct pre-departure briefings. For semester 2, 2012, we will run briefings in Malaysia and Singapore.

The briefings cover:

• enrolment
• IT requirements
• what to bring to Australia
• customs and quarantine
• our airport pick up service
• ESOS regulations and visa issues
• accommodation
• cost of living
• transport
• cultural differences
• support services and programs
• safety and security.

The briefings give students the opportunity to meet each other. Monash staff and current international students will also be there to answer your questions.

If you would like more information, email iss@monash.edu.
