Monash in Malaysia or Australia?

Question

i'm currently have a foundation study in australia and i wanna know if i want to enrol at Monash for commerce study , can i enrol the first 2 years in Malaysia and then transfer to Monash Melbourne for last year? Bcos the fee is much more cheaper there. But some said that it will affect my working application later if the companies in Australia know that i enrol in Monash Malaysia though i get my bachelor degree in Monash Australia.. Give me advice please :D

Answer 1

Agree with the person above me.

I dont see any harm, if you're enrolled in the twinning program.

In fact, i think the twinning program does help you out,

in terms of offering you wider experience as you'll be able

to experience life & the cultural differences, in both

malaysia and australia.

So, if this kindda issue is brought up during the interview,

just tell them that monash Malaysia offers the same degree,

adopting the same syllabous, and is nothing less/different

than the Monash Australia. However, i did hear that twinning

degree is not recognised in some countries. So you might wanna check first before you embark in your study.

Answer 2

do NOT ask me

Answer 3

It will all depends on how you perform and is your final result will be. Essentially, if you do your first two years in Malaysia, you'll gain invaluable experience as you'll be studying with people with different and diverse background. Secondly, I believe, the teaching faculty in Malaysia is of the similar standard with the one in Australia otherwise, Monash University will not recognise the first two year program. Anyway, if you're talking about employability once you graduate, it will depend on what type of company that you're looking at. If a company has a diverse interest worldwide, then your two years in Malaysia might work toward your advantage.

Good luck and Good hunting.
