History of Monash University

The university was founded in 1958 by Sir John Monash, which is where the university gets its name. First students started their studies in 1961 and at the beginning, the idea was to set up a university with a heavy focus on science and technology. However, the university soon expanded its focus and started offering courses in areas such as economics, engineering, medicine, law, education and arts as well.

The Caulfield and Peninsula campuses became a part of the university after a merger with the Chisholm Institute in 1990. The Parkville campus was added in 1991 after Monash entered into a partnership with the Victorian College of Pharmacy. International expansion followed with the opening of a campus in Malaysia in 1998 and in Indonesia in 2020. In both countries, Monash was the first foreign university to set up an in-country campus.
