10 In some cases an HDR candidate’s research is supervised across more than one faculty (teaching faculties) but each course
is managed by just one faculty (the managing faculty). HDR completions are provided by teaching faculty as opposed to
managing faculty due to funding for HDR completions being allocated at the candidature level.

Monash University in brief
Monash University opened its first campus at Clayton in 1961.
Since then it has become a truly international university, with
five Australian campuses, a Malaysian campus and research
and learning centres in China, India and Italy. Monash University
courses are also delivered at other locations, including at Monash
South Africa.
More than 67,000 students are enrolled at Monash University
today. More than 9000 students are enrolled in programs outside
of Australia, mostly in the Asia-Pacific region.
The University offers a wide range of undergraduate and
postgraduate programs through 10 faculties: Art, Design
and Architecture, Arts, Business and Economics, Education,
Engineering, Information Technology, Law, Medicine, Nursing
and Health Sciences, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
and Science. Many of these programs are multi-disciplinary.
The University has also developed an international reputation for
excellence in research and enterprise, with an extensive record
of collaboration with government and industry.
Monash University is a richly diverse and inclusive community
serving Indigenous and recent Australians together with students
from over 100 countries. International students make up around
36 per cent of all enrolments and mostly come from Malaysia,
China, Indonesia, and Singapore.
The information presented in this document comes from the
annual student, staff, research and finance statistical collections
submitted to the Department of Education and Training (DoET),
Monash Annual Reports and reports compiled by Universities
Australia.

3 Figures are the equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL) undertaken by students for the whole academic year. Load figures
are based on full year data as reported to the DoET.
4 The teaching faculty is the faculty responsible for individual units and therefore teaching the load. A student is enrolled
through one particular faculty or campus, but the load may be spread across multiple teaching faculties. Teaching faculty data
reflects overall teaching responsibility.

5 Figures are the full-time equivalent (FTE) and include DoET non-reportable staff employed in independent operations
(117 in 2010, 112 in 2011, 125 in 2012, 114 in 2013 and 108 in 2014).
6 DoET reportable staff figures given here do not include staff employed at Monash University Malaysia and Monash South
Africa. In 2014, the staff headcounts for these locations were 765 and 234 respectively.
7 The Student:Staff ratio is calculated using the ‘DoET IPP Academic including casual’ methodology. This definition
excludes offshore and work experience in industry load. Student Staff Ratio (SSR) calculations include academic staff
employed in Academic Organisation Units (AOU) and include both full-time/fractional full-time and casual staff employed
in ‘Teaching only’ and ‘Teaching and research’ functions. Staff employed in independent operations have been excluded.
8 This ratio shows the concentration of professional staff compared to core business academic staff and gives an
indication of the level of support provided to enable academic work of the University. The inclusion of casual staff gives a
complete view of the workforce.
