Upazila Nirbahi Officer Morelganj, Bagerhat Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh

Master of International Development Practice

"Beyond the classroom, Monash opened doors to incredible global opportunities. I visited the United Nations, attended the Social Good Summit and World Leaders Forum 2019 in New York, and presented a paper on food, water, and energy security in Bangladesh at the International Conference on Sustainable Development at Columbia University. These experiences enriched my academic journey and empowered me to contribute meaningfully to the sector."

Master of International Sustainable Tourism Management

"The degree gave me the opportunity to examine tourism through a more strategic and technical sustainability lens and understand the relationship between tourism development, destination management, environmental stewardship, cultural heritage and long term economic viability. It changed the way I think about value in tourism and continues to influence how I approach commercial and marketing decisions today."

Master of Arts

"I’ve spent the last eight years working as a freelance archaeologist at the New Kingdom site of Tell el-Amarna in Egypt, directed by Dr. Anna Stevens (who also lectures at Monash). Everything comes right back to the analytical and material analysis skills I mastered during my research degree."

Natasha Marinopoulos

Natasha Marinopoulos

Education and Public Programs Coordinator at the Hellenic Museum

Bachelor of Arts

"In my third year, I took a unit called From Alexander to Kleopatra: The rise and fall of the Hellenistic world. He completely changed how I viewed historical storytelling. He presented history as this incredibly dramatic, gossipy, scandalous, Game of Thrones-esque narrative. It was juicy, human, and fascinating. That unit heavily shapes how I work today."

Pru Montin

Pru Montin

Australian-LA based composer and sound designer

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music

"I was invited to Hollywood for doing something that I did for years at Monash. In my first year at university, I learnt how to make computer generated music, which is now what gets me invitations to work on major movies. Being able to do this obscure computer programming is common in music, but not in the film world."
