“I love the diversity of the students here. The large number of international students allows me to connect better with people from different backgrounds, and really helps in building my network. There are also many opportunities for us to prepare for our future, as there are a lot of workshops, talks and engagement programs with employers (and even English language classes!) offered.” NURAIN IZZATI HAMDAN Bachelor of Business and Commerce Project Manager of the Monash Entrepreneur Club Taught Rohingya refugee children with the Monash University Volunteer Program INDUSTRY EXPOSURE We maintain strong industry connections all around the world, giving you a unique advantage when seeking work exposure. You will be able to gain real-world experience from a wide range of companies that have been brought on board as partners and educators via the School’s internship and work placement programs, as well as living case studies. In the past, we have worked closely with organisations such as Unilever, Nestlé, L’Oréal, Citibank, the Islamic Development Bank, and even the Dubai government. Our students have interned in countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Mauritius, Thailand, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Internship and volunteerism At Monash, we invest in instilling attributes that matter. Scan to watch. The Internship and Volunteerism Program incorporates real world work experience and learning into your academic experience while you seek to discover your personal calling. This experience is also an opportunity for you to develop personal and professional maturity and ethics. Some of the companies our students have interned with are Accenture, Bursa Malaysia, KPMG, and the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Centre. Work placement The Work Placement Program integrates employment with the application of academic theory as requirements for completion of BEW3100. This program is an elective that is equivalent to two units within the Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree. Much like industry training, you will integrate theory and practice while undertaking real work in an authentic environment for predetermined periods. This quality experiential learning program will contribute to students’ learning and growth. UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2019 31
