Student Testimonials
Steven TanikoBachelor of Computer Science Country of Origin: Indonesia My studies at Monash Malaysia not only prepared me with the knowledge and skills in the field of Computer Science, but also in the mentality that a professional should have. The standard and the level of difficulty that have been set by Monash definitely well-equipped me to face the challenging reality of the working world. |
|

Anette KihlgastMaster of International Business Country of Origin: Denmark Different, challenging and exciting; I think these words sum up my time at Monash very well. I enjoy the rich diversity, and meeting people from different backgrounds has inspired me and gave me new life experiences. Monash also has a great study environment, I particularly like the postgraduate lounge where it's quiet and chill. |

Rupesh Kumar DeyBachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours) Country of Origin: Malaysia There is a perfect balance between work and fun here, with many activities to join after classes where I can socialise, and gain new connections and experiences. My studies are challenging but I believe this is something to look forward to as it prepares you for adult life in terms of balancing work, learning responsibilities, time management and communicating with others. I think I've come a long way since I first started at Monash. Throughout my four years here, I have gained so much and improved myself in many ways not just as an engineering student but as a person. |

Helen Sneha JambunathanBachelor of Arts and Social Sciences, Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Country of Origin: Malaysia I developed research and management skills as an undergraduate that helped me transition smoothly into the working world. Learning to work under pressure, collaborate, and being detail-oriented have been assets in every job I've had. The types of ideas we engaged with also helped me develop a better-informed sense of social ethics that I have carried with me since. |

![]() Hasuli Perera, Sri LankaPhD in Business, First Year I couldn’t have asked for a better university. I was greatly satisfied with the units I took for my undergraduate course as the subjects were very interesting, the assignments intellectually stimulating, and the lecturers wonderful. During my Honours year I realised how supportive the staff in the research office of the School of Business could be. They were extremely helpful during that last year, and the facilities were, no doubt, excellent. I graduated with a First Class and received the Overall Best Honours Student Award and now I’m doing my PhD here as well. |

Victoria Abelyan, RussiaBachelor of Arts - Communications and International Studies The diversity here at Monash is really cool as I am able to meet many people from different backgrounds. Apart from that, the opportunity for me to study abroad is also a great thing. |

Angga Bohdan, IndonesiaBachelor of Business and Commerce, 3 years (first year student) I have heard of many positive things about Malaysia especially its diverse ethnicity and cultures. I wanted to experience the Asian culture and Malaysia is the perfect representation of Asia with its diverse population. |
|

![]() Sabrina Islam, BangladeshBachelor of Business and Commerce, 3 years Malaysia is unique because although it is a developing nation, some parts of it are highly developed. In particular are the Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, the ‘grand’ shopping complexes and the lush greenery. |

![]() Yu Zhuolin, ChinaBachelor of Business and Commerce, 1st Year Coming to Malaysia has been a great learning experience for me. I get to know about this beautiful country, her friendly people and colourful culture. It’s fascinating to see how people from different backgrounds and cultures can live together in peace and harmony. The friendliness of its people overwhelms me - it makes my stay here so much fun. I must say that Monash University Malaysia’s international student services department has done a great job in helping foreign students settle down. The staff has been most caring and helpful. |

![]() Carolina Margaret, IndonesiaBachelor of Business and Information Technology, 3rd Year Monash’s strong reputation and the similarity in culture between Malaysia and Indonesia had prompted me to choose this university. My greatest concern when I first came to Monash was communicating with fellow students and lecturers because I lacked proficiency in English. In Indonesia, English is not even taught as a second language and the language is hardly spoken by students. All the hardship seemed to have paid off. I am now adapting well to the local culture, the people, the food — also, my English has improved tremendously. The transportation system here is very efficient - it makes outing a lot easier and fun. Back home, I hardly go out on my own because I have to rely a lot on my parents or friends for transport. I find Monash’s students and staff very friendly and this made my transition to university a breeze. |

![]() Nadeesha Randini Wickrama, Sri LankaBachelor of Business and Commerce, 1st Year My decision to join Monash was largely influenced by my father, who used to travel to Malaysia on business trips. He felt that enrolling at the Malaysia Campus would allow me to obtain an internationally recognized degree at a fraction of the cost, without me having to go to Australia. My experience studying at Monash so far has been pretty good. What’s great is that the university has quite a big pool of students from Sri Lanka, so I feel very much at home here. The lecturers are very helpful and I find the quality of teaching to be of high standard, but students must be prepared to work hard. At Monash, the rigour of academic life can either make or break you, so it is important for students to have good time management skills for them to strike a balance between their study and leisure. Constant revision is the key to success - at least for me. I was happy to have made it into the Business and Economics Board of Examiners’ Commendation List roll of honours for academic excellence this year. |

![]() Adrian Lo Chih LiangBachelor of Computer Science The environment at Monash University Malaysia is as such that it trains its students to be very independent. Each individual student is allowed to explore how best one learns. In other words, the success of a student at Monash is in his/her own hands. This in a way helps students to find their own space and self. At the same time, students also learn to work in teams with each other, exposing themselves to different schools of thoughts and people from different backgrounds. The University, by being open to the ideas and proposals from students, encourages students to make more opportunities to do things and dare things they have never done before, making them more independent and creative. |

![]() Ong Choong LeoBachelor of Business and Commerce The facilities here are very up-to-date, particularly the computer labs and library resources. The engineering and science labs are also constantly improved which tells us that improving the education facilities is one of the first few priorities for the University. Monash Malaysia offers a good environment professionally and socially. Professionally, in the sense that we (students) are encouraged to learn and pick up things ourselves. Socially, the University campus offers many places to forge and build friendships that can last a lifetime. |
|

![]() Chong Pei LinBachelor of Business and Commerce The facilities at Monash University Malaysia is by far the best that I have seen, fully equipped with multimedia facilities in their lecture theatres, computer labs and the library. The learning environment here is also very conducive and systematic. In addition, the lecturers here are open and easy to talk to, traits that are very helpful to students. |
