MONASH UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION YEAR
BACHELOR OF LAW
"Towards the end of semester when it gets closer to exams, people call you from Monash and check that you are going OK. Someone is there to listen to you, it shows that someone really cares. If you can't submit an assignment or have problems with an exam, there is a lot of support available to you. Monash is very considerate and they really want people to succeed."

PARALEGAL
"The teachers at Monash College are fantastic – so kind, patient and helpful. The small classes made sure that I received individual attention. I also enjoyed that learning was more interactive. Since studying at Monash College, I've done an internship with a research institute. Now I'm working as a paralegal in Melbourne."
