Export award to Monash

Monash last week won an award in the education category of the 1999 Governor of Victoria Export Awards as a significant provider of tertiary education in Asia and a strong advocate of global networking.

The award recognises that Monash has an increased demand for its overseas courses and has seen nearly 13 per cent growth in exports over the past year, earning the university more than $64 million.

The awards aim to identify and honour the success of Victorian exporters across all sectors of business. They promote the importance of exports to the growing Victorian economy.

Monash is now automatically entered as a finalist in the 1999 Australian Export Awards, to be announced by the Prime Minister, the Hon. John Howard in Melbourne on 1 December.
