All capstone units have to be taken in Malaysia. BEW3102 is not to be taken while a student is on exchange. Students can use their experiential learning while they are abroad and complete the BEW3102 assignment when they enroll in the unit after they have returned to Malaysia from their exchange.
The inter-campus exchange is only for a semester (6 months) and the inter university exchange is for either 1-2 semesters (6 months to 1 year). That would however, be depending on the structure of your course map as well.
The school will process the application and check the course map after the deadline of application is closed.
Strictly, you can explore equivalent units that meet the requirements of your major. However, if you are concerned about course constraints, you may wish to keep your elective units for exchange. It is your responsibility to match the units by referring to your exchange institution in the Monash Abroad Portal (under the tab Academic Details > Handbook/Catalogue). Students who applied for exchange must do a full-time learning and enroll with a minimum of 3 units per semester.
Please also watch all the videos and read the information on the Study Abroad Information Session Page particularly the video related to Study Plan to understand better about your course planning for exchange.
All other general rules on course progression and study plans as per listed in the Course Map Planning Guide and Unit Schedule remain the same - please closely refer to these pages when filling in your Course Map Tool.
You may apply for the Global Intercampus Program. You can exchange with the equivalent units to your Bachelor of Business and Commerce Degree's major units or the additional options below.
We do not promote International Exchange to B2027/B2048 students due to the course structure and limited elective space that can be utilised for the exchange. However, you may apply for the international exchange provided that you are able to find equivalent units to your Bachelor of Business and Commerce Degree's major units only.
The application to study for a semester overseas is a two-step process. You first apply to Monash Abroad to study overseas for credit to your Monash University degree. Once you've been provisionally approved by Monash Abroad, you then apply to the host institution.
Get started on your application early
You should research where you can and want to spend the semester of study overseas early, as it's important to get your application in on time. As the information at the potential host institution is not always easily available, it can take students up to three months to complete an application.
How to apply
For step-by-step instructions, entry requirements, and key dates, see our page on how to apply.
Notification of outcome
It can take up to four months after you’ve applied to the overseas host institution before you're notified of the outcome.

Yes, we would highly recommend that you completed all your core and major units in Malaysia and keep your electives for exchange. Most MIB core/major units are not equivalent to the exchange units.
No, but we strongly recommend students to go for Monash exchange because the equivalent units can be checked directly from the units listed under Requisites -> Prohibitions in the respective unit handbook.
You can also go for exchange to other institutions, but we will not have the list of approved equivalent units for these institutions. For interuniversity exchange, we would highly recommend that you complete all your core and major units in Malaysia and keep your electives for exchange. Most MIB core/major units are not equivalent to the exchange units.
MIB (Master of International Business) students are not permitted to choose undergraduate unit levels during exchange.
Students are encouraged to explore and enroll in graduate-level courses that align with their academic and professional goals, contributing to a comprehensive and enriching exchange experience. If you have specific questions about course options during your exchange, please consult with the Education Management Office, School of Business via AskMira.

For step-by-step instructions, see our webpage on how to apply.
We suggest you allow four to six months to complete the application process.
The university has to be a partner university of MUM. Kindly refer to the Monash Study Abroad Program Search for the list of affiliated universities.
It depends on whether similar majors are offered in the exchange institution. Even if similar majors are offered, the units may not always be equivalent to those offered by Monash.
Strictly, you can explore equivalent units that meet the requirements of your major. However, if you are concerned about course constraint, you may wish to keep your elective units for exchange.
It is your responsibility to match the units by referring to your exchange institution in the Monash Study Abroad Program Search (under the tab Academic Details > Handbook/Catalogue). Students who applied for exchange must do a full time learning and enroll with a minimum of 3 units per semester.
Please also watch all the videos and read the information on the Study Abroad Information Session Page particularly the video related to Study Plan to understand better about your course planning for exchange.

You may go for exchange in your final semester if the units you plan to take for exchange can fit into your study plan at MUM. However, we do not encourage final semester exchange because of the different timelines for partner universities to issue their results which may affect or cause late graduation in some cases. If students opt for exchange in their final semester, Monash will not be responsible in the event of late graduation as a result of late result released by the partner institution.
The list of partner universities and their requirements can be found on the Monash Study Abroad Program Search.

Where you have a choice at your host institution of a pass/fail or graded credit for a unit, you must choose graded credit.
Results for units completed on exchange or study abroad, don't affect your Weighted Average Mark (WAM).
Your academic record (transcript) Your host institution will send your official academic transcript to Monash Abroad and the result will be updated/reflected in MAP.
In some cases, the host institution will provide your transcript to you directly. Whether it's electronic or in hard copy, it's your responsibility to provide a verified version to Monash Abroad. Kindly refer to the Academic Transcript Process Timeline.
Once you have obtained your transcript, please fill in and submit the SOB Exchange Result Submission Form and upload your transcript via the form. As long as you pass, EMO will process your grades as SFR.
In other cases, your host institution will forward your academic transcript to Monash Abroad. We'll send a copy to your faculty, update your Monash record, and we'll notify you to come and collect the original from our office. We'll destroy any uncollected originals of transcripts after twelve months.
Finding outlines for the units you want to study on exchange can take quite some time. We recommend you allow at least two to six weeks to do this.
If you're applying for an exchange, first check the Monash Abroad Portal (MAP) brochure for the institution you're interested in. If it's available, there will be a link to unit information on the academic details tab.
Failing that, or if you're an independent study abroad student, thoroughly search the host institution’s website for a comprehensive list of units, a handbook or prospectus. Sometimes the terminology is different; a handbook can be called a catalogue, a calendar or bulletin. They can often be tucked away somewhere that may not seem logical...keep searching!
-If the host institution has a page for exchange students, it may provide some guidance on how to find unit descriptions.
- A unit can be called a course, a subject, a module or even a program.
- Try searching by unit name or keywords within the unit name, or the unit code (not both simultaneously).
Other places to search
-Speak to your faculty advisers; some faculties have lists of pre-approved units they can recommend for your semester abroad.
-Try a Google search using the unit code or name plus the institution name.
If you've done a really thorough search and still can’t find any unit outlines, in your application there is a question about unit outlines in which you will find a link to a form where you can request assistance.
If you do not pass a unit during your exchange program, you will need to enroll in additional unit at MUM to replace the failed credit points. If the failed unit is a major or minor requirement, you will be required to retake it at MUM.
Ultimately, it is your responsibility as a student to ensure that the transcript is promptly delivered and that results are processed by the school prior to completing the course.
