The MCCCRH Malaysia Node was established in 2021. It is led by the School of Arts and Social Sciences (SASS) at Monash University Malaysia in collaboration with the Monash Climate Change Communication Research Hub (MCCCRH), is dedicated to research climate communications in Southeast Asia. The node brings together expertise in SASS, with collaborators in the School of Science in Malaysia campus, and the existing team in MCCCRH.

We apply research strategies from media studies, journalism, climate science, sociology, psychology, international relations, education, and political science. This involves researching public attitudes towards climate change, and ways to better communicate the science and solutions. We partner with mainstream media entities such as television networks and community news to deliver trusted localised climate information to large audiences in meaningful ways.

Vision

To live in a world in which climate change is depoliticised, where people trust and understand the science and the solutions.

Mission

Build media, communication, and education programs that clearly communicate accurate, relevant climate science and solutions.

Objectives

Facilitate global climate literacy, where governments, policymakers, businesses, and the public can make informed decisions in response to the evolving impacts of climate change.

What is GPA at Monash?

All campuses

GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale from your grades rather than your marks: High Distinction 4.0, Distinction 3.0, Credit 2.0, Pass 1.0, Near pass 0.7, Fail and Hurdle fail 0.3, Withdrawn fail 0.0. Some results, such as SFR and NE, are not counted. Your GPA is shown in WES and on your transcript. Malaysia also uses a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) with different values: High Distinction 4.0, Distinction 3.67, Credit 2.85, Pass 2.15, Near pass 1.7, Fail and Hurdle fail 1.15, Withdrawn fail 0.0. It is not on your academic record, so you request a CGPA letter.

How do I withdraw from a unit?

Australia: withdraw through WES while enrolment changes are open. Before the census date there is no fee and no record; after it, you keep the fee liability and the unit shows as a withdrawal. If you are on a student visa you have study load requirements to maintain: Monash's study load page says you can reduce your load only in compassionate or compelling circumstances, unless you are in your final year and will finish within the time on your CoE. Malaysia: after the census date a withdrawn unit shows as WD-LATE or WD-FAIL, and the date you withdraw can affect fee refunds and your academic record. The last day to withdraw without academic penalty is before the WD-LATE date ends; the dates are in Monash Malaysia's Principal Dates. With a Student Pass, going below 24 credit points a semester is an underload: it needs approval, it can never go below 18 credit points, and below 18 you have to apply for intermission.

How many hours can I work on a student visa?

The rules are each country's, not Monash's, and they are different. Australia: work rights for student visa holders are set by the Australian Government, and the cap has changed several times in recent years. Monash's page links to the current Department of Home Affairs conditions - always confirm the number there before relying on it. Malaysia: with a Student Pass you may work only during semester breaks or public holidays of more than seven days, and for no more than 20 hours a week, at restaurants, petrol kiosks, mini markets or hotels; the page lists jobs that are not allowed. Every job has to be approved by the Immigration Department: you apply through the International Student Pass office and must be there in person when the application is submitted.
