MONASH UNIVERSITY PENINSULA CAMPUS
• Monash University is located on McMahons Rd, Frankston. Frankston Central is located about 5 kms from the Campus. Public transport is available, and there is a bike track for interested riders. Other smaller local shopping centres are located within a 10 to 15 minute walk from the accommodation and the beach is a mere 5 minute drive.
• The Peninsula campus was originally a teachers college at Frankston. The college gained independence from the Education Department in 1973 and became known as the State College at Frankston.
• Following initial talks with Caulfield Institute of Technology in the early 1980s, the college became the Frankston campus of the newly-formed Chisholm Institute of Technology in 1982. On 1 July 1990, both the Peninsula and Caulfield campuses of the Chisholm Institute amalgamated with Monash University.
• Since that time, Monash University has developed the campus into a thriving institution with a range of courses being offered including courses from its historic roots with Early childhood and Primary Education being the main stay.
• The original and historic building, Struan House, remains a feature at the campus and is currently occupied by the campus's Postgraduate Studies Centre and Business Lounge.

A Little Bit About…

conjunction with University Orientation program for all new Monash Peninsula students.
Relying on student volunteers and a HOST Scheme student Coordinator, MONSU offers training, leadership opportunities, networking and a valuable service during week one.
It’s a great way for current Monash students to pass on valuable information and experience to new Monash students which some faculty staff may not posses.

THE PENINSULA CAMPUS EXPERIENCE
• Monash University Peninsula Campus offers a unique experience to its students, given the size relative to other campuses, composite of faculties and courses offered, and the demands placed on students in relation to the completion of their respective degrees, for example, placement requirements.
• There are better opportunities for stronger rapport to be built between staff and students at the Peninsula campus, due to the size of Peninsula.
• The Peninsula student experience is not comparable to that of Clayton and Caulfield, and therefore decisions must be made on an individual campus basis. However this by no means discounts the value of the Peninsula experience to its’ students.
