The Sunway campus, established in February 1998, is the first offshore international branch campus of Monash University. Monash University is the first foreign university to be invited by the Malaysian Government to operate a full campus in Malaysia. It is estimated that students pursuing degrees at this campus will be able to save up to approximately 50 per cent in education costs compared with those studying abroad. The campus is located at Petaling Jaya, about 20 km from Kuala Lumpur. The campus has first-class teaching facilities and students have access to quality accommodation.
Public transport makes the campus easily accessible by bus or electric train.
