Explore Gallipoli and win a $3,500 Prize to Study Abroad
How to apply for the Monash-Gallipoli Prize 2013
Thinking of studying overseas as part of your Arts Degree? Want to walk Gallipoli’s shore as we approach the Centenary of the Landing?
Australian Studies can take you to Anzac Cove, Istanbul and the historic hills of Tuscany in 2013. We offer a 12 point unit in a flexible study package that can speed up your Arts Degree and make your study abroad experience a gateway to Europe and the World.
And if you complete a unit from any area of Australian Studies (including Indigenous Studies) you can win one of three Gallipoli Travelling Prizes valued at $3,500 each.
You don’t need to take a major/minor in Australian Studies. All Australian Studies subjects can be electives in your current Arts degree.
Five easy steps to get to Gallipoli and Study Abroad
Step 1
Complete one of the following Australian studies units in semester 1 to be eligible to apply for the Gallipoli Prize. If you’ve already completed one of these units previously, you’re already eligible for the $3,500 Prize.

- ATS2386/ATS3386 Broken Earth: Australian Environmental History
Please note that applicants are invited from any area of Australian Studies (including Indigenous Studies) but preference given to strong applicants from the units listed above.
Step 2
See the Gallipoli subject to see if it suits your study needs and your degree and send your expression of interest to Arts-Prato@monash.edu. This Australian Studies subject can count towards a major in your Arts Degree. In June/July 2013 you can take:
ATS2387/3387 Beyond Gallipoli: Australians in Two World Wars
This subject will earn you 12 credit points. It begins in Istanbul on Sunday 30 June (students can arrive any time this day as the group meets up the following afternoon), includes 3 days in that ancient and beautiful city, and then a further 9 days exploring the Gallipoli peninsula and Troy. From the end of the tour in Turkey students travel to Italy, spending a night and day in Bologna before continuing on to Prato. Two weeks are spent in Prato in the hills of historic Tuscany. Based at our Monash Prato Centre you can speed up your degree by combining this unit with other subjects offered in English, communications, Italian, European and European Union studies, politics, history, film and television studies. You can also apply for further subsidies from Monash Abroad. At the end of your studies, why not take time to explore Europe?

About your Gallipoli Tour
Monash University’s Study Tour of the Gallipoli Peninsula is led by the Director of the National Centre for Australian Studies, Professor Bruce Scates. The tour will involve an in-depth study of the campaign, recreating the lives and deaths of the men who fought at Gallipoli. It will also include cultural tours of Istanbul and Troy, two of the cultural treasures of Turkey.
Bruce is one of the world’s leading Gallipoli scholars and has led several battlefield tours of Gallipoli, Crete and the Western Front. He also leads the Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Tour at the express invitation of the Premier of Victoria. All the consultancies fees raised by this important work for the State government are channelled into funding these prizes.
Bruce is the winner/co winner of University, State and National awards for excellence in university teaching. He is also the author of several acclaimed studies of memory and war, including Return to Gallipoli: Walking the Battlefields of the Great War and A Place to Remember: A History of Victoria’s Shrine of Remembrance both published by Cambridge University Press.
