Exchange or Study Abroad with Monash?
Students can choose to study one or two semesters across a variety of disciplines. Exchange students remain enrolled with and continue to pay tuition to their home university.

Study Abroad - Arts
"I would definitely recommend Monash to other students. Monash is the complete opposite of my school back home in Chicago, but I feel really at home here. I have made many friends from all different parts of the world. My time at Monash University, coupled with the experience of living in Melbourne, is a stage in my life I will always hold close to my heart."
