Student associations

Monash University Student Association (MUSA)

The Monash University Student Association (MUSA) is an autonomous and self-governing organisation, run and owned by students.  It adds fun and sparkle to life at Monash Malaysia by organising events and workshops and supporting clubs and students.  It can arrange a buddy to help you settle in when you first arrive, book you in for a grooming workshop if you need pampering or sign you up for a Monash run if you need a good workout.

With about 40 different clubs and societies across sporting, academic, social, religious, environmental and cultural areas to choose from, it offers plenty of ways to get involved in our campus community.

You can follow the fun on the association’s facebook page or twitter account, @MUSAsays.
