About Monash

Since its first intake of students in 1961 at Clayton, Australia, Monash has grown to become a truly global university. With six campuses in Australia, campuses in Malaysia and South Africa, centres in the United Kingdom and Italy and links with more than 100 institutions throughout the Americas, Asia, and Europe, a Monash education qualifies students for success in the global community.

Monash's longstanding reputation for the quality of its academic programs, research outcomes and community service was confirmed in the quality reviews conducted by the Committee for Quality Assurance in Higher Education between 1994 and 1995. These reviews saw Monash emerge as one of only three Australian universities to be ranked in the top group for each of the three core university functions of teaching, research outcomes and community service.
