First Steps Sessions

Compulsory

The first step to take when considering a global experience is to attend a Monash Abroad First Steps session. Attendance at these sessions is compulsory to be considered for exchange. In this session we’ll cover:

  • types of programs available
  • whether you are eligible
  • how to register for semester exchange and study abroad
  • how you can finance your trip

Our First Steps Session for Semester 2, 2021 is now available for viewing. Please click here to begin your exchange journey! All videos for Semester 2, 2021 are available in this playlist.

Regional Advising Sessions and Country Spotlights

Compulsory

Regional Advising Sessions are run by the Monash Abroad International Education Coordinators (IEC), and will cover the in-depth regional-specific information regarding your exchange. The IECs can provide answers to specific questions you may have about your exchange. These are compulsory to view as part of your exchange application.

Country Spotlights are short videos focusing on particular countries within each region, especially those with additional requirements. These are not compulsory but extremely useful if you are preparing an application for the countries in question.
