Monash University graduate Grace Ng is bringing the latest TV news into the homes of thousands of Malaysians -- and she is working in this exciting industry just months after completing her Bachelor of Communication at the Malaysian campus of Monash in Kuala Lumpur.

The 24-year-old is an assistant producer for the 8pm news on television station ntv7, compiling and presenting breaking news stories from around the world.

"The fact that straight after university I managed to land a superb job was really amazing," Grace says. "Some days it is a bit hard to believe that I have progressed so far.

"The journey has been quite incredible really. I never imagined I would have a career in media so quickly."

The Monash advantage
She thinks a Monash qualification definitely helped her get a good job quickly. "Yes I think it has, because there is 'Monash University' on my resume it does stand out," she says.

"When employers see that you have Monash University on your resume, it is recognised. It is known as a good university. There is a certain quality to it."

Why choose Monash?
Growing up, Grace heard positive things about the quality and reputation of Monash University from her friend's older brothers and sisters. She also heard from friends who had themselves studied at Monash University who spoke of wide experiences and the quality of teaching, so she decided to try Monash for herself in 2006.

She says it was an experience that broadened her perspective on the world and gave her the creativity and maturity to succeed.

"Monash provides you with a background and a framework in which to think and that is what gave me the most advantage," she says. "I think that is what gave all of us Monash students an advantage, an advantage above the rest."
