I was drawn to Monash’ s multidisciplinary approach and the way the syllabus was grounded in Southeast Asian contexts. I knew I would receive an education that would deepen my understanding of the world around me. My degree has served me well across multiple jobs, and has helped me establish myself as a career professional in the human rights industry.”
