Monash Malaysia was one of the only universities in the country which offered a Global Studies course, which, by sheer luck, allowed me to also major in Gender Studies. Entering the course, I did not have much of an idea of what to expect, which I personally believe was the perfect entry point. It allowed me to be open to the vastness of a social science degree, blending theoretical frameworks with real-time developments, to show that nothing we learn is devoid of real-life impact. Monash was an experience which allowed me to learn about life, as we know it, and all of its complicated intricacies.”
