About the University

Monash University is a modern, global, research-intensive university, delivering education and research excellence in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific.

Monash is making positive change. We seek collaborations with universities, governments and industry to create lasting global change, and through innovation and enterprise to advance new ideas and translate exciting technologies. Our Strategic Plan, Impact 2030, charts the path to realise our purpose which is through research and education to address the challenges of the age – climate change, geopolitical security and thriving communities – for the betterment of our communities.

Monash has four campuses in Australia on the lands of the Kulin Nations. We’re committed to actively contributing to a society that recognises, respects and includes Indigenous peoples, cultures and knowledges by working with and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as well as Indigenous peoples of other places.

We have campuses in Malaysia, Jakarta (where we are the first foreign university established in Indonesia), Mumbai, India and Suzhou, China, and a major centre in Prato, Italy. This growing global network enables us to enrich our education and research, and nurture deep and enduring relationships across the region.

Our global reputation for education and research excellence ranks us in the world’s top-100 universities (40th in the 2022 US News and World Report Best Global University Rankings; 57th in the 2022 Times Higher Education World University Rankings). We are a founding member of the Group of Eight, Australia and we are a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (in full).
