Marking MUFY's 25-Year Milestone

As Monash University Foundation Year (MUFY) celebrates its 25th anniversary at Sunway College, we reflect on the programme’s successes under the theme ‘Celebrating 25 Years of INSPIRING Excellence.’ This milestone provides an opportunity to honour the programme’s remarkable journey, recognise the impact of its transformative education, and look forward to the growth that will shape its future.

Since its inception in 1999, MUFY has expanded its reach and evolved to meet the changing demands of higher education, producing over 19,000 graduates from nearly 60 countries. Its success is largely due to its diversity, which enriches the educational experience and broadens horizons for all students.

“Through MUFY, students have had the unique opportunity to learn not only from their lecturers but also from each other, gaining insights into different cultures, perspectives, and ways of thinking. This global outlook has equipped our graduates to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world,” says Mr Lee Thye Cheong, the Director of Programme of the Monash University Foundation Year.

The event at Sir Jeffrey Cheah Hall was a dynamic celebration of MUFY's 25 years, featuring a diverse array of performances by students, lecturers, and staff, reflecting the creativity and talent nurtured throughout their time with the programme. Video messages from Ms Jo Mithen, CEO of Monash College, and distinguished alumni highlighted the lasting connections and successes of MUFY students worldwide.

Looking ahead, MUFY aims to build on its strong foundation by fostering critical thinking, cultural awareness, and lifelong learning, ensuring that future students can benefit from the same transformative experience that has defined the programme’s first 25 years.
