Male Female

It was this year in January that I searched for information on the Monash University website. Monash University is an Australian university. I was looking for the information because at the time I was applying for the Australia Award Scholarship. It was the second time; of course, last year I also applied for that scholarship program, but I wasn't selected. So this year, I researched more about the courses that aligned with my interests, and I found that the university offers a wide range of courses for the educational field, which is my career goal. I also looked for information about tuition fees, living costs, and the campus lifestyle on the internet. The Monash University website is really user-friendly, and I can find the information clearly and very easily in a short time, which was really helpful. I also searched for the duration of the course, and then I chose to apply for linguistics. Additionally, I needed to investigate what kind of pathways would help me achieve my goal of getting the degree. I found that there are two pathways: one is coursework and the other is research. So I chose the coursework option. To sum up, the website is really helpful, and I got the necessary information from it. Currently, I'm waiting for the result. Thank you.
