Engineering Student Teams
Engineering Student Teams Study Tours provide an exciting opportunity for students involved in Monash’s Engineering Student Teams to gain international experience while applying their technical and teamwork skills in a global setting. These tours support students in collaborating on real-world engineering challenges, engaging with international peers and industry experts, and experiencing diverse engineering environments.
Designed to enhance both practical knowledge and cultural awareness, the tours may include competitions, site visits, workshops, and networking opportunities with global engineering leaders. Participation allows students to deepen their understanding of engineering applications beyond the classroom while representing Monash on the international stage.
These programs are open to students actively involved in Engineering Student Teams, with specific eligibility and selection criteria depending on the tour.
