Education Guide 2024

The jump between high school and university can feel big, especially in engineering. You might feel completely out of your depth, learning topics and concepts you have never heard about before. You might not know which engineering specialisation you want to pick. You might not know what kind of job you want to do and how to get it...

And that’s completely fine! None of us knew at the start. All of us were in that same boat. That’s why the Monash Engineering Students’ Society (MESS) is here to help.

This guide has been created to help ease you into the course, as we understand that engineering can be overwhelming and daunting initially. This guide contains many great resources including details on the ins and outs of engineering, advice from older students to help you ace your units, and information on where to find help during your time at Monash. So check out how you can make the most out of your time at uni!

Careers Guide 2024

The Monash Engineering Students' Society proudly presents the Careers Guide for 2024, an invaluable industry resource to assist and guide our past, current and future students in their careers. MESS have developed strong partnerships with a variety of companies in the industry over the past decade. These connections and partnerships, all featured in the Careers Guide, ensure you have the knowledge and skills you need to follow your passion when finding where you fit in the workplace and industry.

As students ourselves, we understand how daunting delving into the professional, corporate world can be. However, university is as much about developing relationships as it is about your studies. Through our industry resources and events, we try to help make it as easy as possible for you to transition into a professional working career and set up a solid foundation for yourselves as you move through university and into the industry. So please do get involved, and make the most of the opportunities you see!
