With origins in Australia, Monash University has risen to become one of the top universities in Australia and internationally. The campus in Malaysia is one of eight Monash campuses worldwide in Australia, Malaysia and South Africa.

Monash University wishes to create a world-class university committed to improving the human condition by advancing knowledge and fostering creativity. We will achieve this in our own distinctive way through a research-intensive, international focus. Monash University will address the important theoretical and practical challenges which the world is facing and we will develop graduates who will wish to do the same.

Monash University was specially invited by the Malaysian government to open a campus in 1998 and became the first foreign university campus established in Malaysia. Located in the self-contained township of Bandar Sunway, the campus in Malaysia is a joint-venture between Monash University and the Sunway Group, through its Sunway Education Trust Fund.

In 2007, Monash moved into a new purpose-built RM200 million campus, also located at Bandar Sunway. Monash University is planning for its campus in Malaysia to be a medium-size university by 2015, distinctive for its quality of teaching and research.

The combination of the prestigious degrees and Monash University's uncompromising stand towards academic excellence and student development, makes studying at Monash University a unique university experience for students in the Asia-Pacific region.
