The University Community |
| |
Monash University, established in 1961, is now Australia’s largest institution, with an enrollment of 44, 000. Monash has been committed to serving every qualified student rather than just the elite of Australian society. The university therefore has a diverse, multi-cultural community and is an ideal site for UNL students. Its main campus is located in Clayton (12 miles from Melbourne). Melbourne is a cosmopolitan city of 3 million, and is the commercial center of the country as well as a city dedicated to culture, parks, and sport. The climate is temperate, with warm summer months and no cold weather. Students can attend theatrical events, meander through lovely gardens, and see Aussie football matches and are only a short distance from beaches and mountain ski facilities. |

Courses of Study |
| |
Monash offers more than 6,000 subjects, 240 courses and 10 Faculties, so study abroad students can tailor a program to their academic and social needs. The aim is to integrate students fully into the life of Australian universities. The 10 Faculties are recognised as national and international leaders in their fields. They offer innovative programs, based in the traditional disciplines and relevant in a modern, global context. |

Living Arrangements |
| |
University housing consists of residential complexes on or within easy reach of the campuses. Most accommodation is in single rooms but some shared rooms are available. Most have a shared living room, kitchen, and bath. Some halls provide a full meal plan while others are self-catering (cook your own). |
| |
|
| |
Duration |
| |
The Australian academic year begins in late February and runs until the beginning of December. First semester is from late February to early July. Second semester is from mid-July through the beginning of December. Please note, the UNL Fall semester corresponds with the Australian Spring term, while the UNL Spring corresponds with the Australian Fall. |
| |
|
| |
Type of Progam |
| |
The programs are based on agreements between Monash and UNL that allow for direct enroll and reciprocal exchange.
Exchange places are very limited, and vary year to year based on the balance of the exchange. Most UNL students participate on a direct enroll basis.
Credits earned are transferable to UNL by department validation. UNL students remain eligible for most scholarships and other forms of financial aid that they normally receive. |
| |
|
| |
Am I eligible to apply? |
| |
Students who have completed at least one college year and are in good academic standing are eligible to apply. A 3.0 GPA is preferred. UNL graduate students may apply for graduate-level programs with approval from Graduate Studies, their graduate committees, and the host institution.
Serious students who will adapt readily to the local culture and who will benefit from living in a foreign country will be those selected for the exchange. |
