Project Title: Understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Higher Degree by Research students
Project ID: 31185

The pandemic’s hardships for graduate students is far from over. For International graduate students specifically – lockdowns, time zone differences and border closures have made navigating through this time extra tricky. Now, as most of them are preparing to travel to Melbourne for the first time since March 2020, the University has proposed a fee increase that will have a significant impact on them.

The MGA opposes the proposed fee increase by the University and call for students to raise their concerns regarding this matter with us. We understand that many graduate students sacrifice a lot to study in Australia and are still suffering the financial and/or mental distress of the pandemic. We intend to pursue this with the University and will keep you updated with developments on this matter.

Please do email MGA-EC-President@monash.edu to provide your feedback to the MGA.
