MULIA
MULIA
Monash University Law Indonesia Alliance or MULIA is a partnership between Monash Law and the faculties of law at seven of Indonesia's leading universities.
In addition to being an acronym for the Monash University Law Indonesia Alliance, MULIA is a word in the Indonesian language that means ‘noble’, ‘glorious’ or ‘honourable’. These three words reflect the essence of the MULIA alliance.

Objective of MULIA
The objective of MULIA is to “promote and develop collaborations between The Parties on the basis of equality and mutual benefit”. Such an objective might be spelled out further in the following terms, providing a noble forum:
- To develop and solidify closer collaboration, both at an institutional and personal level;
- As a platform for identifying mutually benefit in developing our international strategic goals in partnership; and
- Affording each faculty, the opportunity to sharpen its international profile and seek to promote and develop, in collaboration, its international elements, be they in education, engagement, experiential education, and/or research, with established partners in equality and for mutual benefit.
