Bachelor of Business - Batch of 2026

4.6

Monash University has great academics and practical exposure to the curriculum.

Tips: Making friends and trusting people will be hard, as a lot of people are going through their own problems and not everyone here loves talking about them. One should learn to enjoy exploring in solitude. Will feel like too much stuff is happening at one time, but go with your pace.

Likes (Quality of faculty): I love how we have assignments on practical content and exams on both practical and theory, so it has a nice balance of what I'm studying. The faculty is easy to approach, and one can easily meet the Chief Examiner and tutors to ask questions. The faculty of Data Analysis is very diverse with the majority being Asian.

Dislikes (Value for money): I'm studying Bachelor of Business majoring in Data Analytics in Marketing, a unique major combination not easily found at other universities in Australia or India. I'm taking the same courses and using the same materials as master's students, but my assignments are less difficult. This allows me to complete my bachelor's degree without having to spend the time or money to earn a master's degree.

Bachelor of Science in Physiology - Batch of 2025

4.4

Thriving in a diverse and supportive academic environment at Monash University.

Tips: Before joining Monash University, students should know how to adapt to a diverse, multicultural environment and a more independent learning style. I didn't avail of my scholarships, but Monash offers various options with allowances ranging from academic performance to circumstantial/living situations. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the university and course, and it offers some challenges, like for anyone else.

Likes (Indian Food): There are a variety of Indian restaurants and grocery stores near Monash University, offering authentic food options at reasonable prices. The availability of both North and South Indian cuisine makes it easy to find dishes that would make Indian students feel at home.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): I rated the quality of the faculty a 4 because the lecturers and tutors in B.Sc. are highly knowledgeable and bring significant expertise to their subjects. Many are active researchers, which ensures that the content they teach is up-to-date and relevant. However, due to the large class sizes in some core subjects, personalised feedback and individual attention can sometimes be limited.

I would urge anyone to think very carefully about how their life would look like here.

Tips: I found it relatively easy to fit in, having grown up in an international setting all my life. I was unable to avail any scholarships, although I do wish I made a stronger attempt to search for one at multiple universities. Overall I would say I have some major regrets that I wish I had considered before the move, however, I am still incredibly blessed and happy with my life here.

Good university that allows you to explore the best of yourself.

Tips: Students should know that life is very different in Australia. You have to be prepared to take care of yourself and immerse yourself in a new culture. This means leaving your comfort zone and being prepared to change yourself. You will face a lot of challenges and homesickness. Besides the faculty is good, public transportation is almost available and the country is safe to explore.

Bachelor of Banking and Finance - Batch of 2024

Sea of opportunities but sea is scary

Tips: Just be open to everything and never give up. I got a scholarship and I worked hard for it, I am satisfied with the University. It is a little difficult but it is all about never giving up, I did not face much cultural difference. Overall it has been a great experience.

Likes (Post study jobs): University is one of the best in the country and not all but there are many companies offering sponsor visas. 60-100k is an average payout as Monash is known for its employability skills, you need to make sure that you have made the best out of your time and be everywhere without being conservative.

Dislikes (Part time work): For part time work bit less options but more opportunities off campus. You have to manage time well and with efficiency. 400 per week, you have to make sure you look out and apply everywhere it is a bit difficult but might take some time. Do not lose hope and keep at it.

Master of Science in Physics - Batch of 2023

My experience in Monash University was a mix of good and bad.

Tips: Course rigour is higher than comparable institutes in India (IITs, NITs, equivalent institutes of other disciplines). Quite a lot of self-study is expected. Plenty of resources are available for students, academic and otherwise, to achieve their goals. Australians are a friendly bunch of people usually. It is not all that difficult to find someone who can speak an Indian language, usually Hindi and/or Punjab. However, meeting and forming connections with people of all cultures is incredibly rewarding, both professionally and personally.

Likes (Indian Food): A lot of Indian immigrants lead to a variety of Indian restaurants. Ordering from outside is a bit more expensive than cooking at home, but not everybody has the time and energy to cook every day. Tiffin services are also available, usually provided by these restaurants.

Dislikes (Value for money): While the quality of faculty and education is fairly high, it being a master's programme, the tuition fee is high as well. Self-funded master's programs are worth the cost only if the degree provides a significant boost in the career, which, while not uncommon, happens only for a select few fields.
