Monash University

Sunway was Monash University's first international campus. Located 18 kilometres from central Kuala Lumpur, we have more than 5000 students. Sunway has a vibrant, global atmosphere - about one quarter of the student body is international.

Monash University was invited by the Malaysian government to open a campus in 1998. Through a long-standing partnership with the Sunway Group, the first foreign university campus in Malaysia was created at Bandar Sunway in Petaling Jaya. Classes commenced in July 1998.

The campus opened its gates in 1998. We boast the latest teaching and learning facilities, specialised laboratories, a library and a student centre. Sunway is home to six schools:

• School of Arts and Social Sciences
• School of Business
• School of Engineering
• School of Information Technology
• School of Medicine and Health Sciences
• School of Science

Campus

The current campus was purpose-built in 2007 at a cost of some RM200m. At present there are some 5,100 students and 500 staff, with growth projected to lead to over 6,000 students and 600 staff. About one quarter of the student body is international. The campus continues to develop steadily, and now enjoys excellent facilities for world-class education and research. All academic staff members are expected to engage in scholarly research.
