Monash University South Africa Johannesburg

Monash South Africa is a private university founded in 2001, located on a 100 hectare site in Ruimsig in north-west Johannesburg, in the province of Gauteng. The student mix at Monash South Africa is diverse. In addition to domestic (South African) students, it is also home to many students from other African countries. For example, a large number of students from Botswana attend. Furthermore, the number of students on exchange from Monash’s Australian and Malaysian campuses makes it one of the most ethnically diverse education providers in Africa.

In August 2013, Monash South Africa announced that it will partner with Laureate Education. The current Academic President of the South Africa site is Professor Alwyn Louw and the CEO is Sharad Mehra.

You’ll find us in Ruimsig, in the province of Gauteng, 25 kilometres northwest of the Johannesburg city centre. Our attractive, secure, state-of-the-art campus is complete with student accommodation, computer labs, restaurants, high-tech lecture theatres and sports facilities, including a gym.
