Monash University young,

dynamic and ambitious

Monash University was establishedin Melbourne, Australia in 1958. Weare named after Sir John Monash,a famous Australian who contributedto almost every level of Australian life.

Sir John had a simple philosophy:...equip yourself for life, not merelyfor your own benefit, but for thebenefit of the whole community.

This philosophy guideseverything we do:

_ our approach to education_ our research ambitions_ our people_ our communities and_ our global initiatives.

In little more than 50 years MonashUniversity has earned an enviablenational and international reputationfor research and teaching excellence.

Taking inspiration from Sir John Monash,

we have created a world-class educationand research community, a communityof progress, optimism and ambition.

A community where brilliant students,researchers, ideas and solutions tosome of the worlds great challengesare nurtured and thrive.

Monash University is a memberof Australias Group of Eight, analliance of elite Australian universitiesrecognised for their excellence inteaching and research. Its eightmembers produce more than 70 percent of all basic research conductedat all of Australias public universities.

Its a testament to our researchfocus and ambition that we are

the youngest member of thisprestigious group, which includessome of Australias longest-established universities.

The M8 Alliance of Academic HealthCenters and Medical Universitiesis an international collaboration ofacademic institutions of educationaland research excellence. The M8

Alliance acts as a permanent platformfor framing future considerations ofglobal medical developments andhealth challenges.

brilliantfoundations

With campuses and centres acrossfour continents, Monash is able tooffer exceptional global opportunitiesto staff and students alike.

Sir John Monash

The University takes its name

from Sir John Monash, a famous

Australian who contributed to

almost every level of Australian life.

Not only do we carry Sir Johns

name, we also take inspiration

from his philosophy on life.

He was a man who used education

to turn his natural talent into ability,

allowing him to realise his daring

ambitions. Our motto,Ancora Imparo

(I am still learning), captures the

essence of his approach to life.

Our Faculty of Information Technologyoffers an industry-based learningprogram that allows students to takepart in 22-week placements with someof Australias largest companies,including Origin Energy, KPMG andGE Capital. Each placement is credited

towards the students degree and givesthem a vital opportunity to converttheory into practice.

Through our close relationship withOxfam Australia, we provide potentiallylife-changing volunteer opportunitiesfor students in South Africa. Oneis the Monash Oxfam in South AfricaStudent Placement Program, whichgives students a deeper awarenessof the problems affecting people livingwith HIV and AIDS. It is a full fourweeks of intensive, practical learningbeginning with an extensive inductionprogram and followed by workplacements with community-basedorganisations across the region.

Employability

At Monash, we believe that everystudent is an international student.We seek to develop globally-engagedgraduates, professionals who are wellprepared for success in an evermorecompetitive, and diverse, labour market the sort of employees organisationsgo out of their way to recruit.

And we deliver aNew York Timessurvey of global CEOs on graduaterecruitment (October 2011) ratedMonash the best university in

Australia, and one of the worlds top50.

Unique campuses with unique roles

We are a successful university notbecause we demand uniformity, butbecause we embrace difference. Ourcampuses epitomise this philosophy.

While academic excellence is our mainobjective, Monash has always strivedto embrace social justice we aimto increase access and participationfor students from all backgrounds.In order to do this, we recognisethat different people are looking fordifferent opportunities and pathways.

Our campuses play a key role inallowing us to be flexible in developingcreative ways for more peopleto engage in tertiary education.

Engaged with industry

We build and nurture long-termrelationships with businesses,government, NGOs, and thecommunity, forging collaborativeteams to tackle complex challenges.Being a key part of the South EastMelbourne Innovation Precinct

(SEMIP), considered the Asia-Pacifics innovation capital, we canhelp our partners in ways that fewother institutions can.

The precinct encompas ses theAustralian Synchrotr on, CSIROslargest research and developmentsite, the head offices of SouthernHealth, the Melbourne Centrefor Nanofabrication, and theheadquarters of some of theworlds largest companies. It alsoaccommodates 40 per cent of

Victorias manufacturing ac tivities.

Sometimes brilliant just

needs a chance

We seek to improve the humancondition through our researchand education. For that reason,its important we understand theneeds of the communities we seekto serve. We have a range of outreachprograms to ensure that we remainconnected and relevant to thesecommunities and to society at large.

Our staff and students regularlyvisit schools throughout Victoria,

presenting, tutoring and facilitatingworkshops. Our Schools AccessMonash (SAM) program, forinstance, focuses on schools witha significant number of studentsfrom disadvantaged backgrounds,and aims to increase studentsunderstanding of higher education.

On a global level, Monash hasstrong associations with someof the worlds largest charityorganisations, including World Visionand Oxfam. Our partnership withOxfam Australia brings together theexpertise of our researchers andon-the-ground experience of Oxfamworkers in developing countries.

An unprecedented philanthropicdonation of $2.9 million has supportedthe roll out of targeted programsinvestigating the gendered impactsof and adaptation to climate changein disadvantaged communities inBangladesh, South Africa, Cambodia,Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Ourpartnership with World Vision Australiaempowers the University communityto combat extreme poverty throughactive participation in globalcampaigns around child health andfair trade.

Monash is a university that aimshigh we seek to make a profounddifference in the world. In order totransform our ambition into actionand positive change, we concentrateon several specific areas:

Research with impact

We use our researchers brilliantideas to help change communitiesfor the better. Through our stronginvestment in research we grow ourknowledge and develop solutions

to contemporary challenges. Whatwe learn in research goes back intoour teaching, so our students gainthe skills theyll need to confrontthe problems of tomorrow.

Our global footprint

We are in a unique position to considereducation and research from a globalperspective. We are active on fourcontinents with campuses in Australia,Malaysia and South Africa; an educationand research centre in Prato, Italy;a joint research academy with theIndian Institute of Technology Bombayin Mumbai, India; the SoutheastUniversity-Monash University JointGraduate School (Suzhou) in China;

as well as a recently-cementedalliance the first of its kind in theworld with the University of Warwickin the UK, a top-five UK university.

Beyond our bricks-and-mortarpresence we have significantpartnerships with 16 leadinguniversities in North America,Europe, Africa and Asia.

An ambitious education

for ambitious students

We prefer to tell our students whatthey can do, rather than what theycant. This is why we give our studentsthe opportunity to study outsidetraditional academic settings, tovolunteer, to travel the globe andto engage in research sooner.

Knowing we attract some of Australiasmost brilliant and ambitious people,weve created numerous challengingprograms, exposing students andresearchers to different cultures,economies and working practices.

Making a big impact

We pursue a research agenda basedon excellence, relevance and impact.

Since our foundation, we haveembraced an unrelenting commitmentto excellence we back this by offeringour community (from our newestresearchers to our longest-establishedcross-disciplinary teams) accessto world-class facilities, resources andsupport. As a result, our researchershave made discoveries that havehad a significant impact in Australia

and around the globe, achievingthings that the world once didntthink were possible.

In 1964, work by Monash researchersled to the worlds first laws requiringthat seatbelts be installed in all newcars. This started in Victoria and South

Australia and soon spread overseas.

We pioneered IVF research, achievingthe worlds first IVF pregnancy in theearly 1970s.

Our scientists were the first in the worldto demonstrate that human embryonicstem cells could generate specific typesof body cells in the laboratory.

One of our most outstandingcommercialised inventions is theanti-influenza drug Zanamivir (soldas Relenza). This first-in-class antiviraldrug developed for the treatment andprevention of influenza paved the way

for todays generation of flu vaccines.

With an eye on the future, we makesignificant strategic investments inworld-class research infrastructure.

We are increasing our capacity toconnect with industry, governmentand the worlds very bestresearch organisations.

A deeper learning experience

Monash understands that deep student

learning is about much more thancontent. We know the key to successfullearning and teaching is the qualityof the interaction between the student,their peers and their teachers.

Our approach to education creates andencourages a personalised learningexperience we let our students choosetheir own path. They choose the typesof skills they want to develop, when andin what areas they want to specialise,and what sort of experiences theywant to have.

It also encourages active collaboration.Students engage with their teachers

and with one another, constructing,rather than consuming, knowledge.

This provides a more satisfyingexperience for students, and a morerewarding outcome for employers,who recruit graduates with a profoundunderstanding of a field or discipline.

Learning from experience

Pharmacy student Jane OConnortravelled to the Solomon Islands toexperience the challenges of practisingpharmacy in a developing country.

During her three-month trip madepossible by a travel scholarship Jane worked in the National Referral

Hospital and made recommendationsfor improving the supply of medicationsto remote clinics.

It was amazing to compare whatI knew of an Australian hospital andwhat they manage to make do within the Solomons, Jane says.

There is a ward round done each day,but the hospital is so overloaded thatthis brief encounter may be the patientsonly interaction with professional healthcare for the day. It was especiallyconfronting for me as malaria,tuberculosis and malnutrition were allpresent in the most severe degrees.

Combining degrees

Australian university. By pursuingdouble degees, students are able toexplore two distinct areas of interestand broaden their horizons. Theyrealso able to broaden their employmentprospects a double degreedemonstrates a students versatilityand ability to consider problemsfrom multiple perspectives.

Employable graduates

Employers tell us that they seek outMonash graduates because theyhave the skills, the knowledge andthe positive approach to learning thatbusinesses are looking for. In fact,according to a survey conducted byTheNew York Times(October, 2011)we are considered the best universityin Australia by global CEOs recruitinggraduates.

We help students cultivate exactlythe skills that employers want byconnecting them with industry longbefore they approach graduation.

Many Monash courses includingthose across engineering, law,business, commerce, pharmacy,

journalism and science offerinternships and work placements.

These programs help students definetheir career goals and get exposureto the industry they will one day workwithin, meaning they come to theworkforce prepared.
