The experience
Istanbul not Constantinople: Monash students on the heights

wonders of an exciting and beautiful city before setting off for Troy,
Canakkale and Gallipoli.
"I've spent over half of my degree overseas with an exchange to the United States, the Gallipoli Program and Arts in Prato, and an intercampus exchange to Malaysia. To my mind there is no greater vindication of Monash's motto to 'Go Boldly' than to participate in these sorts of unparalleled opportunities."
Thomas Woodroofe, International Studies and Politics majors, Bachelor of Arts (Global)
"This was a momentous learning experience for me. We spoke to victims of war crime, visited genocide sites and learned a lot about Rwandan and South African culture."
Erin Quigley, History, Bachelor of Arts Honours
"The Monash Gallipoli trip was an amazing experience that moved teaching from the class room to the cliffs or Anzac. It's an unique and inspiring experience to be a part of."
Hailey Berkhout, Australian studies and History major, Bachelor of Arts
