Monash University is a public university with campuses located in Australia, Malaysia and South Africa. It is Australia's largest university with about 55,000 students. Monash consistently ranks amongst the top universities in Australia and the world.[2]

The University has a total of eight campuses: six in Victoria, Australia (Clayton, Caulfield, Berwick, Peninsula, Parkville and Gippsland), one in Malaysia and one in South Africa. The university also has a centre in Prato, Italy. This makes it by far Australia's most internationalised university. Indeed, it is arguable that Monash has the greatest international presence of any research-intensive university in the world.[3]

Monash University is a member of the "Group of Eight", a lobby group comprised of some of the most research-intensive universities in Australia. It was recently ranked by The Times Higher Education Supplement (THES) at number 43 in its annual ranking of the world's top 200 universities for 2007. The university has a particularly notable Law School which is based in Clayton. Its undergraduate degrees are among the most sought after in the country. With 11 universities in Victoria,[4] Monash attracts 33% of the top 5% of Victorian school leavers.[5][6]

Monash University is also Australia's premier medical research university, winning over $50 million in National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) grants in 2007.[7] Monash researchers also dominate the NHMRC Awards, winning a quarter of all prizes in 2007.[8] It is home to the Monash Science Technology Research and Innovation Precinct (STRIP), the Australian Stem Cell Centre, the Australian Synchrotron (a $206 million particle accelerator), 100 research centres[9] and 17 co-operative research centres.

The university is named after the prominent Australian general Sir John Monash. Its motto is Ancora imparo (Italian), meaning 'I am still learning',[10] a saying attributed to Michelangelo.

Monash University is a commissioned Victorian university. It was established by an Act of the State Parliament of Victoria in 1958 as a result of the Murray Report which was commissioned in 1957 by the then Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies to establish the second university in the state of Victoria. The university was named after the prominent Australian general Sir John Monash. This was the first time in Australia that a university had been named after a person, rather than a city or state.

The original campus was in the south-eastern Melbourne suburb of Clayton (falling in what is now the City of Monash). The first University Council, led by Monash's first Chancellor Robert Blackwood, selected a British professor of engineering, Sir Louis Matheson, to be the first Vice-Chancellor of Monash University, a position he held until 1976. The University was granted an expansive site of 115 hectares of land at Clayton, after it had argued that, in the distant future, it was possible that Monash would have up to 12,000 students. Not even the most optimistic of Monash's founders could anticipate the size to which it would eventually grow.

From its first intake of 347 students at Clayton on 13 March 1961, the university grew rapidly in size and student numbers so that by 1967, it had enrolled more than 21,000 students since its establishment. It was originally intended to have an emphasis on science and technology, to compensate for the perceived weakness in this area at Melbourne University. However, it quickly expanded beyond this. In its early years, it offered undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in engineering, medicine, science, arts, economics and politics, education and law. Initially, it was best known for its strong research capacity in the sciences, and for its innovative teaching in law and medicine. Along with the University of New South Wales and ANU, it also attracted interest for its focus on Asia. Along with UNSW, it was the major provider for international student places under the Colombo Plan, which saw the first Asian students enter the Australian education system.

In its early years of teaching, research and administration, Monash had the advantage of no entrenched traditional practices. This enabled it to adopt modern approaches without resistance from those who preferred the status quo. Matheson had also deliberately selected young, talented staff to fuel the rapid rise of the University.[11] A modern administrative structure was set up, Australia's first research centres and scholarships devoted to Indigenous Australians were established, and, thanks to Monash's entirely new facilities, students in wheelchairs were able to enroll. By contrast, Melbourne University struggled to enter the modern educational era, to the point that there was talk of a Royal Commission to overcome its antiquated style.[12] In other respects, however, the youth of Monash was a burden. While Louis Matheson had good relations with government, Monash in the 1960s existed in a city where almost all professionals had attended Melbourne University. This meant that many officials and heads of professional bodies were "unsympathetic" to Monash's requests. For example, it was many years before the Faculty of Medicine received funding for Monash Medical Centres to complement its teaching and research.

From the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, Monash became the centre of student radicalism in Australia.[13][14] It was the site of many mass student demonstrations, particularly concerning Australia's role in Vietnam War and conscription.[15] The origins of mass student demonstrations in Melbourne were those against capital punishment, and some of the largest protests occurred at Monash in the final years before it was abolished in Victoria. By the late 1960s, several student organisations, some of which were influenced by or supporters of communism, turned their focus to Vietnam, with numerous blockades and sit-ins.[16] In 1971, for example, over 4500 students - a substantial proportion of the Monash student population at the time - carried out a blockade on University Council chambers.[17] The student meetings held at Monash during this time remain the largest in Australia's history. In May 1969, one meeting saw over 6,000 gather to vote against a disciplinary statute passed by the University Council.[18] The most famous student radical was Albert Langer, who regularly made newspaper headlines and caused major disruptions at the Clayton Campus. So great was publicity surrounding the protests that many in Australia and around the world first heard of Monash not because of its teaching and research, but because of its protests.[19] In recent years, student radicalism has died down, although there have been occasional protests on government higher education policy.

In the late 1970s and 1980s, Monash's most publicised research came through its pioneering of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). Led by Professors Carl Wood and Alan Trounson, the Monash IVF Program delivered the first IVF baby in Australia in 1980.[20] This eventually became a massive source of revenue for the University at a time when university funding in Australia was beginning to slow down. In addition to the Medicine Faculty's work in IVF, Monash academics shaped the practice in other ways. Professor Louis Waller of the Law School created the model IVF legislation adopted in Victoria, and philosophers Peter Singer and Helga Kuhse led the world in their consideration of the ethical implications of IVF, establishing the Centre for Human Bioethics in 1980.

In the late 1980s, the Dawkins Reforms changed the landscape of higher education in Australia. All Australian universities either sought to expand and consolidate their teaching and research bases, or merged with larger institutions. Probably the most aggressive of any Australian university, under the leadership of Vice-Chancellor Mal Logan, Monash transformed dramatically. In 1989, Monash University had only one campus, Clayton, with around 20,000 students. Just over a decade later, it had 8 campuses (including 2 overseas), a European research and teaching centre, and more than 50,000 students, making it the largest and most internationalised Australian university.

The expansion began in 1990, with a series of mergers between Monash, the Chisholm Institute of Technology, the Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education. In 1991, Monash, to the surprise of many, merged with the Victorian College of Pharmacy, which most people had predicted would merge with the University of Melbourne. Monash University's expansion continued in 1994, with the establishment of the Berwick Campus. So great was the University's expansion that it was reported at the time that Monash might attempt a takeover of La Trobe or Deakin universities, but this did not eventuate.

In 1998, the University opened the Malaysia Campus, its first overseas campus and the first foreign university in Malaysia, after a longstanding presence in South East Asia. In 2001, the Johannesburg Campus opened its doors, making Monash the first foreign university in South Africa. The same year, the University secured an 18th Century Tuscan Palace to open a research and teaching centre in Prato, Italy. This expanison made Monash one of the world's most internationalised universities, but in fact the University administrators in the late 1990s contemplated going even further than they did. They explored the possibility of, and devoted much energy to, opening campuses in Thailand, Laos and Indonesia, but these plans were not followed through. While the University has established the IITB Monash Research Academy with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay,[21] and has made its international focus explicit, it has stated that no further large-scale international campuses are planned within the next few years.

At the same time, Australian universities faced unprecedented demand for international student places, which Monash met on a larger scale than most, to the point that today around 30% of its students are from outside Australia.[22] Today, Monash students come from over 100 different countries, and speak over 90 different languages. The increase in international students, combined with its expansion, meant that Monash's income skyrocketed throughout the 1990s, and it is now one of Australia's top 200 exporters.[23]

In recent years, the University has been particularly prominent in medical research. A highlight of this came in 2000, when Professor Alan Trounson led the team of scientists which first announced to the world that nerve stem cells could be derived from embryonic stem cells, a discovery which led to a dramatic increase in interest in the potential of stem cells.[24][25] To capitalise on its medical research capacity, the University has been awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to develop large research facilities at its Clayton Campus. In 2001, it was announced that the Monash Clayton Campus would be the site for the Australian Synchrotron, which was completed in August 2007. In 2006, the University began developing the $138 million Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, which will be one of the largest stem cell research centres in the world when it opens in 2008. In addition to this, the University now houses the Australian Stem Cell Centre, Nanotechnology Victoria Limited (NanoVic), Stem Cell Sciences Limited and the largest monoclonal antibody production facility in the Southern Hemisphere.[26][27] Such developments have made Monash the main location of stem cell research in Australia.[28] It has also led to Monash being ranked in the top 20 universities in the world for biomedicine.[29] In 2010, the Clayton Campus will also be the site of the John Monash Science School, Victoria's first specialist select-entry high school for students gifted in maths, science and technology.[30]

On October 21, 2002 Huan Yun "Allen" Xiang shot two people dead and injured five others on the Victorian Monash University Clayton campus. For more information on the topic see the article Monash University shooting.

The current Vice-Chancellor of Monash University is Professor Richard Larkins (since September 2003[31]). Professor Larkins has been appointed as chair of Universities Australia, efffective 2008.[32]

The Clayton campus covers an area over 1.1 km² and is the largest of the Monash campuses. Clayton is the flagship campus for Monash, demanding higher ENTER scores than all the other campuses, with the exception of Parkville. Clayton is home to the faculties of Arts, Education, Engineering, IT, Law, Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and Science.

In 2001, the State Government of Victoria decided to build the first Australian synchrotron adjoining the campus. The Australian Synchrotron opened in July 2007 and creates beam light to make it capable to view matter at the molecular level. Monash University contributed $5M towards the $206M cost of the synchrotron as a member of the funding partnership for the initial suite of beamlines. The campus is also home to a number of halls of residence, colleges and other on-campus accommodation that house several thousand students.

The Clayton campus has its own suburb and postcode (3800). The campus centre includes shops, restaurants, bars, banks and bookshops, an the campus also has an art museum, cinema and extensive sports facilities including an aquatic centre, gym, tennis and squash courts and various playing fields.

The Caulfield campus is Monash University's second largest campus. Its multifaceted nature is reflected in the range of programs it offers through the faculties of Arts, Art & Design, Business & Economics, Information Technology and Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. It has also built an enviable reputation as a key centre for training and development of senior business people. The campus features a range of visual arts, educational and sporting events and facilities, and has well-established links with industry, government and the local community. A major building program has been announced, to expand teaching facilities, provide student accommodation and redevelop the shopping centre.

One of Monash's newest, Berwick campus was built on the old Casey airfield in the south-eastern growth corridor of Victoria, Australia. The town of Berwick has experienced an influx of people and development in recent times, which includes the new campus of Monash University. With a presence in the area since 1994, the first Monash Berwick campus building was completed in 1996 and the third building in March 2004.

It is situated on a 55-hectare site in the City of Casey, one of the three fastest growing municipalities in Australia. Since it is a new campus, the students and staff enjoy state-of-the-art facilities.

The Gippsland campus is home to 2,000 on-campus students, 5,000 off-campus students and nearly 400 staff. The campus sits in the Latrobe Valley town of Churchill, 142km east of Melbourne on 63 hectares of landscaped grounds. It is the only non-metropolitan campus of Monash University. The campus offers many undergraduate degrees, and attracts many students from the Latrobe Valley, East and West Gippsland. It has a range of on-campus accommodation, which many students choose to stay in during the academic year. The Gippsland Medical School will open at the campus in 2008.[1]

Parkville campus is also known as the Victorian College of Pharmacy. It is situated in the Melbourne suburb of Parkville, around 2km north of the CBD on Royal Parade. The Victorian College of Pharmacy has a reputation for innovation, particularly in the areas of formulation science and medicinal chemistry. The Parkville campus offers bachelor degrees in Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Science, which replaced the Bachelor of Formulation Science in 2007. It also offers postgraduate degrees. It has undergone renovations lately, and a new research building has just been built in the campus. The Parkville campus of Monash University demands high ENTER scores from applicants, due to the high competition for the Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science degrees offered at the campus. ENTER scores for the pharmacy degree are usually required to be above 95.00 and around 90.00 for the Pharmaceutical Science and Medicinal Chemistry degrees.

The Peninsula campus of Monash University has a teaching and research focus on health and wellbeing. The campus is located in the bayside suburb of Frankston on the edge of Melbourne.

Its teaching and research focus on health and well-being, but the campus also offers a range of courses including those from its historic roots with early childhood and primary education. The campus was also home to the Peninsula School of Information Technology, which in 2006 was wound back with Information Technology units previously offered being relocated to the Caulfield campus.

The Monash University campus in Malaysia opened in 1998 in Bandar Sunway, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Sunway campus offers various undergraduate degrees through its faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences, Engineering, Information Technology, Business, and Arts and Sciences. It is currently home to over 3,000 students.

The new purpose-built campus opened in 2007, providing a high-tech home for Monash in Malaysia. In addition to a wide range of undergraduate degrees, the campus also offers both postgraduate Masters and PhD programs. Its degrees in Medicine and Surgery are the first medical degrees outside Australia and New Zealand to be accredited by the Australian Medical Council.

Monash South Africa is situated on the western outskirts of Johannesburg, and opened its doors in 2001. The campus is expanding, with student numbers growing at 35% per year and expected to be 2,400 in 2008. A new learning commons opened in 2007 and in early 2008, new housing will mean the campus will be able to provide secure on-campus accommodation for 1,000 students. The campus offers undergraduate courses from the faculties of business and economics, arts and IT. It is planned for Masters and PhD programs and scholarships to be offered in 2008.

As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Monash University, Monash College is an educational institute providing students with an alternative point of entry to Monash University. The institution offers pathway studies for students who endeavor to undertake studies at one of Monash University's many campuses. Monash College's specialised undergraduate diplomas (Diploma Part 2 is equivalent to first-year university) provide an alternative entry point into more than 50 Monash University bachelor degrees, taught intensively in smaller classes and an environment overall similar to that offered by the university.

Monash College offers programs in several countries throughout the world, with colleges located in Australia (Melbourne), China (Guangzhou), Indonesia (Jakarta), Singapore and Sri Lanka (Colombo).

The Monash University Prato Centre is located in the 18th Century Palace, Palazzo Vaj, in the historic centre of Prato, a city in Tuscany near Florence. Primarily, it hosts students from Monash's other campuses for semesters in Law, Art and Design, History, Music, as well as various international conferences. It was officially opened in 2001 as part of the University's vigorous internationalisation policy. It is now the largest Australian academic institution of its kind in Europe.

Monash is divided into 10 faculties. These incorporate the University's major departments of teaching and research centres.

Stand-alone, interdisciplinary research centres, which are not located within one faculty, include:

Top Matching Results may highlight information from other Search.com pages, content from the CNET Network of sites, or third party content. The listings are based purely on relevance. Search.com does not receive payment for listings in this section but our partners that provide this data may get paid for listing these products.
