from the
Pro Vice-Chancellor
I would like to invite you to embark on a global study experience with Monash
University Malaysia. Located close to one of Southeast Asia’s most vibrant cities,
Kuala Lumpur, Monash University Malaysia is the main international campus of
Australia’s largest university.
Monash University is a member of Australia’s prestigious ‘Group of Eight’ of
research-intensive universities and consistently ranks in the top 100 universities in
the world. Here in Malaysia we are Monash University’s platform for educational
and research excellence in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Students at Monash University Malaysia receive a world-class Australian education
while studying in a dynamic and innovative Malaysian environment. As we move
into our twentieth year of operation in Malaysia, we are proud that the Ministry of
Higher Education has placed us in the very top cohort of Malaysian universities
with a six-star “outstanding” rating.
I firmly believe that there is no better way to enhance your study experience
than by spending time at another university abroad. I can guarantee that
an international study experience in Malaysia will give you new skills and new
aspirations. At times you will be moving out of your comfort zone and dealing
with quite different perspectives. But don’t let that discourage you, because
those more challenging times are exactly when the best cross-cultural
learning occurs.
Kuala Lumpur is a global hub for business, education and tourism. I am
committed to embedding that cosmopolitan spirit in our world-class education
programs. We will provide you with an excellent opportunity to nurture your
academic and intellectual development in our very transnational learning
environment. You will be joining students from more than 70 other countries.
I encourage you to spend some time learning about our University and the
subject areas available to you. And don’t forget to explore the amazing travel
destinations that are just one or two hours flight away from Kuala Lumpur.
I look forward to welcoming you to Monash University Malaysia!
