Who was Sir John Monash?

Sir John Monash was an Australian leader, statesman and nation-builder who contributed to almost every level of Australian life.

As well as having a long and distinguished military career, Sir John was a renowned engineer and public administrator. He also features on the Australian $100 note.

He was a man who used education to turn his natural talent into ability, allowing him to realise his daring ambitions. Not only do we carry Sir John’s name, we also take inspiration from his philosophy of life.

Our motto, Ancora Imparo (“I am still learning”), captures the essence of his approach to life.

“Adopt as your fundamental creed that you will equip yourself for life, not solely for your own benefit but for the benefit of the whole community.” – Sir John Monash

Our graduates

Tran Thanh Nam

Rameshwari Ramachandra

Dr Michelle McIntosh

PhD, 2005

Master of Business Administrsation, 1993

Nam is the chief operating officer at MobiVi, Vietnam’s leading electronic payment service provider.

As managing director of Singapore-based consulting firm Business Breakthrough Technology Pte Ltd Rameshwari manages the operations and expansion of consulting initiatives and blue-chip clientele in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.

Bachelor of Pharmacy, 1997; PhD, 2000; Graduate Certificate in Higher Education, 2009

He helped co-found the company in mid2007, and it has grown quickly on the back of massive growth in the reach and popularity of the internet and mobile phones, and business uptake of electronic communications.

MobiVi is at the forefront of e-commerce with their e-wallet payment system. E-wallet uses highly-secure computer networks and programs enabling airline tickets to be bought online, peer-to-peer payments undertaken via a mobile phone or over the web, and bills paid with the touch of a button.

She is passionate about the role of women in decision-making and is involved with organisations including the Development of Economy for Women, DEW Credit Co-operative Ltd, Singapore National Co-operative Federation, Netball Singapore and the Singapore Council of Women’s Organizations.

Our research

Michelle leads a team at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences working on a project to develop an aerosol delivery system for oxytocin that can be inhaled by patients from a simple, disposable device immediately after childbirth. Every year more than 100,000 women die of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a condition of excessive blood loss after childbirth.

Although PPH can be effectively prevented or treated with an injection of oxytocin, access to this drug is limited due to the requirements for refrigeration, storage and trained medical personnel for administration.

Our research tradition Even before we became the global university we are today, our researchers looked beyond traditional boundaries, creating new frontiers and discovering new ways of approaching the fields in which they worked. That’s why a Monash education is respected around the world. Things that we now take for granted would not exist without the initial work of Monash researchers:

First in-vitro fertilisation pregnancy Professors Alan Trounson and Carl Wood achieved the world’s first IVF pregnancy in 1973. The Trounson and Wood team went on to achieve Australia’s first (and the world’s fourth) successful IVF birth in 1980.

Fighting influenza In 1986, a team from our Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy) designed and synthesised the anti-flu drug, Relenza. Relenza first became available in Australia in 1999 and is now used globally.

Nobel Peace Prize In 2007, eight scientists from Monash University shared in the prestige of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former US VicePresident Al Gore.

We judge our research by its academic excellence, but also by the impact it has on the communities we engage with and serve.

Our research today Today, our ambition and optimism are stronger than ever. We have a clear vision of what we want our research to achieve and how we’ll help our researchers make it happen. Although we conduct research across more than 150 fields of study, we focus on a number of specialisations.

We call these our leading capabilities.

We’ve grouped these capabilities into four categories: health and wellbeing future technologies sustainable environments resilient cultures and communities.

Building stronger, lighter planes Professor Xinhua Wu and her team at the Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing (MCAM) are creating a new aluminium alloy that will make aircraft 30 to 40 per cent lighter, twice as fuel efficient and still structurally sound. So significant is this project that they are working in close partnership with Microturbo, the European Space Agency and Bombardier.

Helping the blind to see

Eliminating disease

The Monash Vision Group (MVG), draws on the capabilities of Monash University, The Alfred hospital and industry partners MiniFAB and Grey Innovation to develop bionic eye technology that connects to the primary visual cortex.

The Eliminate Dengue Program, led by Monash University’s Professor Scott O’Neill, uses a naturally occurring bacteria (Wolbachia) to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to pass dengue between people. Dengue fever affects an estimated 390 million people worldwide annually and is ranked by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most important mosquitoborne viral disease in the world.

This means that patients unable to make use of current retinal implants because of damaged optic nerves or physical trauma to the actual eyes may now have the opportunity to see again.

Super sand Monash has teamed up with Rice University (USA) to create a ‘super sand’, which acts as an inexpensive filtration device in third-world countries. They have significantly enhanced the natural filtering properties of sand by coating it with a nanomaterial called graphite oxide (GO). Lack of clean drinking water is the cause of more than 2.5 million deaths per year according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Your study options Whether you want to get ahead in your career faster or just improve your knowledge, a Monash postgraduate degree can give you a distinct advantage.

Coursework or research?

There are three ways to study for a postgraduate degree:

Research will enable you to pursue a passion, while working in a supportive environment with like-minded people. And it can open up incredible career opportunities.

1. by coursework

3. Coursework and research

2. by research

Combined degrees offer you the flexibility to complete part of your course by following a subject-based program, and part of it by completing a research thesis. It will allow you to grow through experiencing two very different methods of higher education.

3. by coursework with a research component.

1. Professional entry postgraduate courses These courses are specifically designed to train students to enter regulated professions such as law, accounting and teaching after they have completed an undergraduate degree. These programs can range from two to four years depending on the discipline.

Expert master’s These programs allow you to either extend knowledge and expertise gained though your undergraduate degree or add breadth to your knowledge and skills in a new discipline.

Length of programs Many of our master’s programs offer block credit to students on the basis of their education background.

2-year programs – if a student wishes to undertake a master’s program in a different discipline to their three-year undergraduate qualification it will usually take two years (96 credit points).

2. Research options

1.5-year programs – if a student wishes to undertake a master’s program in the same discipline as their three-year undergraduate qualification it will usually be a 1.5 year program (72 credit points)

Monash offers research-based postgraduate degrees in all disciplines. And, while the challenge takes commitment, drive, motivation and talent, the benefits are enormous.

1-year programs – if a student wishes to study a master’s in the same discipline for which they have a four-year honours qualification it usually takes one year (48 credit points).

Fees Most postgraduate coursework programs are offered as full-fee places. Students in these courses pay the full tuition cost of the course and must make the payment upfront each semester. Details of course fees are included with course descriptions in this guide. A different fee is charged to Domestic and International students.

Fees quoted are for courses commencing in 2014, are subject to change and are indicative only. Fees for courses commencing in 2015 will be different. For more information on fees visit monash.edu/fees.

Cost of living It is a good idea to plan and prepare a budget before you arrive in Australia. Your tuition and study fees do not include personal costs such as accommodation, food and other things you will need. These costs can add up to approximately A$22,900+ per year.

Mel Barnes Master of Tourism Mel chose to pursue her postgraduate studies alongside her full-time career, to have an advantage over other graduates in a competitive job market.

“Tourism isn’t all about holidays! The program has an interdisciplinary focus and covers a wide range of academic fields. Lectures are available outside business hours and block subjects are a fantastic option for full-time workers. I recently took one week of annual leave to complete subject course work in Fiji. This allowed for full immersion into the program and fieldwork study. Staff in the Graduate Tourism program understand the commitments involved in working and studying full time and they are only a phone call or email away.”

Bridget Osho Master of Laws (Human Rights) “As one of the recipients of the Australian Government Awards for Africa I had the choice of studying at any Australian University. I chose to study at Monash University because of its reputation as one of the best in the country.

It also offered the degree that is perfectly suited to my career goals with a learning flexibility to study subjects outside of my specialisation course. My favourite part of studying at Monash is that I get to study other interesting areas of law which are not only related to my specialisation but are important as they are intrinsically linked. Classes at Monash are very interactive and students’ ideas are taken very seriously. This has built up my public speaking confidence which will be an invaluable tool for my chosen career path as a human rights lawyer and advocate”.

Lee Horsley Master of Nursing Practice Two years ago Lee was running his own plant nursery. Now the horticulture graduate is back at university studying for a new career as a nurse.

Having enrolled in Monash University’s new Master of Nursing Practice – an accelerated program for graduates with non-nursing backgrounds – Lee feels that for the first time he is doing what he should be doing.

“The relief that you see in a patient’s eyes when they realise you are not going to compromise their dignity, or the gratitude from a family when you help make a dying patient more comfortable, is really rewarding.”

Students in the Master of Nursing Practice spend half the week in class and the other half in clinical practice. Lee said the curriculum was well matched to the clinical experience, giving students an opportunity to immediately apply academic knowledge.

Maria Chan Senior Clinical Pharmacist, Royal Children’s Hospital, Bachelor of Pharmacy, Master of Clinical Pharmacy.

“Since registering as a pharmacist in 2001, I’ve worked extensively in paediatric hospital pharmacy and gained significant practical clinical experience. I chose to study the Master of Clinical Pharmacy to give me the skills to determine best current practice, develop guidelines to promote safe and effective use of medication and improve patient care and outcomes.

“The course enabled me to ‘speak the same language’ as other healthcare professionals and qualified me for more complex roles and to take on greater responsibility such as teaching and supporting junior staff. The best thing for me was learning problem solving and analytical skills that I can apply in my clinical practice.”

My ultimate goal is to combine research and teaching.

“My research is in the Eliminate Dengue lab. The research that we do is injecting Wolbachia bacteria into mosquitoes to block Dengue virus transmission, and my research is thinking about what kind of genes are regulated when mosquitoes have Dengue virus. I’m also working in the insectary raising mosquitoes for my experiments, which involves making sure I have the human volunteers to feed my mosquitoes.”
