Monash University Gippsland Campus was a former branch of Monash University located in the town of Churchill 142 km east of Melbourne. On 1 January 2014, it became part of Federation University Australia. There are around 2,500 students studying on-campus and 5,000 students who study off-campus. Study areas at the campus include Art and Design; Arts (Media, Humanities, Communication and Social Science); Business and Economics; Education; Medicine; Information Technology; Nursing; Midwifery; Science and Engineering. The last head of the campus was Monash Pro-Vice Chancellor, Professor Robin Pollard, who was, prior to his current appointment, the Pro-Vice Chancellor and President of Monash University Malaysia Campus. The campus also adjoined the Gippsland Education Precinct, which provided education and training for Year 11 and 12 secondary school and TAFE students.〔http://gep.vic.edu.au/〕 The University of Ballarat is the other major partner in the new Federation University Australia〔()〕 New students commencing their studies at the Gippsland campus from 2014 study under the Federation University entity.〔( Frequently Asked Questions )〕 Current students at the campus will be able to complete their degree as a Monash University student.〔( Frequently Asked Questions - Gippsland Future )〕 ==History== The campus began as the Yallourn Technical School in 1928, in order to train State Electricity Commission of Victoria workers for the Yallourn Power Station. It became Yallourn Technical College in 1958. The Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education (GIAE) took over College courses after it was formed in 1968 at its current location of Churchill. It was amalgamated with Monash University in 1990, initially becoming Monash University College, before becoming a campus of the University in the mid-1990s. In recent years, the campus has undergone substantial expansions and upgrades of its buildings, Science and Engineering (1986), Information Technology (1994), a two level library (1997), Gippsland Education Precinct (2006), and a new auditorium was completed in 2008, replacing the iconic Binishell, demolished in 2009. In 2008, the Monash Gippsland Medical School was opened, after extensive construction of new facilities and accommodation for the increase in students on campus.〔http://www.monash.edu.au/news/monashmemo/stories/20080618/graduate-entry-medical.html〕 Its fate is unknown. Plans by Monash University to sell the Gippsland campus were mooted in 2013, and were greeted by anger from staff and students concerned that University was selling its campus to the 'highest bidder' and leaving Gippsland without a prestigious Group of 8 university. Some of these fears have been allayed and most campus employees have been re-employed by Federation University Australia, but research-active staff lost their link to the larger university and its facilities.〔http://www.latrobevalleyexpress.com.au/story/1816221/new-uni-signals-more-opportunities/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monash University, Gippsland campus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
