Who we are

At Monash, we offer a range of accredited information technology courses that transform our graduates into highly skilled and sought after IT professionals, equipped to work globally. With five schools across three campuses, our strong reputation and international profile attracts the best students worldwide.

Our research is multi-disciplinary, multi-campus and multi-national, giving us a unique capacity to reach out further and deeper than any other institution in Australia. Our research priorities are both technically ambitious and embedded in everyday life.

We collaborate with all kinds of organisations – from small NFPs to giant multinationals. Other organisations benefit from our skilled, enthusiastic students and graduates.

We revolutionise the way we communicate:

• Using multimedia software, our research helps deaf children and their families communicate with each other. Find out more about the Auslan project.
• We educate disadvantaged communities in South Africa through IT – see our Digital Doorways project.

We revolutionise the way we conduct business:

• Our research helps the airline industry minimise operation costs and maximise profit. See how the Constraint Programming (CP) model we developed is now industry standard.
• Our students Damian Kovach and Adi Rum combined their skills in computer science with health and fitness to launch a successful online gym directory.

We revolutionise the way we experience the world:

• Our multimedia technology means that we can create and explore new possibilities like never before. See how Tom Chandler used his IT degree to recreate an ancient civilization for National Geographic.
• Our researcher Jon McCormack created the iPhone app 'Nodal' – software that is changing the way we understand and create music.
