Course options within these faculties include single and double bachelors and honours degrees, diplomas, postgraduate coursework degrees, advanced research degrees, and PhDs.

More than 21,000 of our 60,000 students are international students. When they come to Monash, they come to a university that lets them pursue their academic interests in an enjoyable, safe and engaging environment. We do that by providing world-class facilities, as well as an extensive array of support services, many tailored specifically to international students.
