Monash University is ranked among the top one per cent of universities worldwide, and consistently listed as a preferred source of graduates by companies the world over.
Monash University, found in 1958, is now the largest university in Australia with over 83,000 students from 170 countries and having an Alumni of over 350,000.

A Founding Member of the Group of Eight, the coalition of Australia’s most prestigious research-intensive universities, Monash University is ranked 58th globally according to the QS World University Rankings 2020 and is ranked 75th globally according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for 2020.
The universities are ranked by their core mission, teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. They use 13 perform indicators to provide unbiased and comprehensive comparisons that are relied on by academics, industry leaders and governments in the world. These 13 performance indicators are further grouped into five areas; Teaching (the learning environment); Citations (influence for research); Research (volume, revenue earned and reputation); International outlook (students, staff and research) and Industry income (knowledge transfer). Data for the process is provided by institutions and the panel evaluates each performance indicator and allocates a score.
An accumulated mark is given for institutions and finally, a version of Z-scoring is used to standardize scores. This transparent process further makes the ranks reliable and definitive.
