Overseas programs
Take your study to new heights.
Immerse yourself in a vibrant culture, expand your global network and make lasting memories – all while earning credit towards your degree.
Monash University Prato Centre
If you’re an undergraduate student, you can apply to study abroad at the Monash University Prato Centre in Italy. Located in Tuscany, Prato is only 20 kms northwest of Florence.
Based in a 18th-century palazzo in the historical heart of the city, you’ll be surrounded by medieval architecture. And you’ll have access to some of the world’s most significant collections of art. Prato is home to Italy’s leading contemporary art museum, Centro Pecci, and close to the premier event for art and architecture, the Venice Biennale.
Our lecturers will be there to guide and teach you. You can apply for subsidies to help you study overseas as part of your degree.
Travelling studio
Each year, Architecture and Design students have the opportunity to participate in travelling studios to overseas destinations. The studios are organised by academic staff and are generally offered each year, and destinations vary.
Travelling studios provide an opportunity to experience study in the context of another culture, and build contacts and networks.
Travelling with staff and fellow students in small groups, you’ll follow a set curriculum working on industry projects and visiting partner institutions. You’ll also have some time free to see the sights.
Architecture students have participated in studios in China, South America, Europe and Japan. Design students have travelled to Japan and Korea.
Exchange program
Would you like to travel to the Netherlands to immerse yourself in Dutch culture but continue your course in English? Could learning Asian business skills in a local language improve your global career prospects? Gain a competitive edge against your peers by studying at the Pennsylvania State University, world-renowned for their research and teaching in atmospheric sciences. Maybe you want to soak up the Madrid sun and polish your Spanish while continuing your studies, or you might like to study alongside the scientists who played an integral role in the discovery of the Higgs Boson while exploring Israel’s most dynamic and diverse city, Tel Aviv.
As a Monash student, you can do all of this, and more, with an overseas exchange.
