About this scholarship
Monash University Malaysia awards merit scholarships to high-achieving entrants across its business, engineering, IT, science and arts degrees. The qualification is the same Monash degree awarded in Australia, at a fraction of the Australian fee.
For students weighing an Australian degree against cost, the Malaysian campus with a merit award is often the cheapest route to the same credential — though it does not carry Australian post-study work rights.

Is the university placement service really free?
Yes, our service is 100% free. Counselling, university matching, application support and guidance right up to your offer cost you nothing. There are no consultation fees and no agent fees, because we are funded by our university partners. The only cost you take on is the university’s own tuition or semester fees, which you pay directly to the university after you accept your offer.
What exactly do you help with?
Everything from start to finish: understanding your options, shortlisting the right programme, preparing your application and personal statement, submitting to the university, and guiding you through the offer, enrolment and visa paperwork, all with a dedicated counsellor.
Which universities can you place me into?
We place students into a range of UK and international universities, and we shortlist the best-fit options for your grades, budget and goals rather than pushing a single school. On some pages we run dedicated free placement drives for a specific partner university, and we are always adding more partners. Tell us your goals and your counsellor will map out your options.
