Monash defies COVID with new branch campus set to open
Indonesia’s Ministry of Education and Culture has granted the first licence to a foreign university, allowing Australia’s Monash University to set up a branch campus on the outskirts of Jakarta which will open next year.
The licence “allows us to forge ahead with designing a state-of-the-art, purpose-built campus in a burgeoning, modern and sustainable city centre” said Monash University’s Senior Pro Vice-Chancellor (Southeast Asia Partnerships) Andrew MacIntyre.
MacIntyre told
University World News the new campus would be a research-intensive university, enrolling postgraduates in masters and PhD programmes, awarding Monash degrees and offering short courses and micro-credentials.
