DIPLOMA OF ENGINEERING
BACHELOR OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
"I chose Monash because it's part of the Group of Eight and the Monash engineering faculty is well-known around the world. The learning environment is different to my home country. Here at Monash College, I feel like I'm learning so much more. The facilities at Monash are fantastic, from the libraries to the laboratories. Also Monash is in Melbourne – the world's most liveable city!"
