What our graduates say...

"My time in Monash has been a wonderful and worthwhile journey filled with loads of newfound experiences and memorable occasions. The plethora of knowledge gained throughout my Monash life has given me the opportunity to expand my knowledge far beyond my expectations while simultaneously enhancing my critical way of thinking. The engagements in group activities in and out of class momentously improved my cooperative skills as I learnt to work more effectively as a team. All the benefits gained throughout my course however would not have been easily attainable if it weren’t for the dedicated lecturers who devotedly sacrificed their time and effort in order to educate their students for the betterment of their students’ future. I therefore wish to thank my lecturers for their unwavering support and dedication throughout my journey towards achieving the Best Graduate Award. As an endnote, I would like to say that my precious Monash years taught me a priceless life lesson, which is “invaluable guidance, dedication and persistence are key aspects in life that should never be disregarded if one wishes to achieve their goals”. Keep reaching for your dreams and you shall be rewarded. "

"The past 3 years in Monash University has been academically stimulating and enriching towards my personal development. Monash University's high quality education has given me the opportunity to gain a strong foundation through a positive learning environment which encourages participation, critical thinking and feedback. This has certainly helped to equip me with essential skills towards having a competitive advantage in the corporate world, and the landing of a job in a Fortune 500 company. I also had the opportunity to go on a one year exchange program to the University of Warwick as a Monash Ambassador, where I traveled to 14 different countries around Europe, gaining valuable insights into how European markets operate. I was also active in sports and had the privilege of representing Monash University for Ultimate Frisbee in MAPCU 2015, where we were crowned as the champions. Most importantly, I would like to thank God, my parents, family, teachers and friends for supporting and motivating me to be better in every aspect of my life. In conclusion, it is not the grades that are important but the education I received during my time here in Monash "Eng". Ancora Imparo!"

"Past 3 years of study in Monash is simply enriching, to both my personal development as well as building a strong academic foundation. Monash has competent academic teaching resources to deliver quality education, which has substantially built a competitive edge for my current career. Academic aside, I am a big fan of extra-curricular activities and voluntary work. Being the President of Monash University Volunteer Program (MUVP) and the Project Manager of Monash Accounting and Finance Club (MAFC), I have developed good interpersonal skills, leadership skills and various essential soft skills. Besides, I value the opportunity offered by Monash for me to join the exchange programme in Warwick University, UK. It has helped me to gain valuable insights of different educational initiatives and a campus life outside my home country. I am honoured to be awarded as the Best Graduate for Bachelor of Business and Commerce. I appreciate all the support that was given by my lecturer’s, my family, my peers as well as my club committee members over the years in Monash. "

Allowing independent study and a culture encouraging discussion helped create a healthy open atmosphere. Skills learnt were sharpened through numerous projects and exercises similar to real-life working projects, which I continue to use till today in research, analysis and report writing within the field of public policy and socio-economic issues".
