Hi Warya,
 
For subject/unit selection and advice in the study area of Mathematics, it is recommended that you contact the Faculty of Science directly: [email protected]. To further assist the Faculty of Science, please remember to include the name of the postgraduate course you are referring to.

Hi Monash

Which first year math units are equivalent to '2 units of first year mathematics, specifically in Calculus 2 and Linear Algebra' to satisfy pre reqs for a post grad course? Thanks

Hello Throwawaay,
 
Pharmacology is an area of study (major/minor) that is available within the Bachelor of Science degree. In addition to Year 12 English, the prerequisites for the Science degree are: Units 3 & 4: a study score of at least 25 in one of: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geography, Mathematical Methods (CAS), Specialist Mathematics, Physics or Psychology. Thus, you don’t necessarily require Year 12 Chemistry if you have satisfied one of the other Science prerequisites outlined above such as Year 12 Physics or Year 12 Methods. Hope this helps 

I am in year 12 and am doing accounting, physics, spesh, methods and english Language. Having completed 1/2 chemistry and 3/4 further last year. Is there anyway for me to do Pharmacology without doing 3/4 chemistry?

Hi Wota,
 
Unfortunately, Monash does not currently offer any programs in Speech Pathology at undergraduate or postgraduate level. For alternative course options, please refer to the Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences course list at the following link: https://www.study.monash/courses/find-a-course?f.InterestAreas%7CcourseInterestAreas=Medicine%2C+Nursing+%26+Health+Sciences 

Hi! Does Monash Uni offer Speech Pathology as a course? If so, are there any VCE subject prereqs? Thanks

Hi avince,

You are best to visit one of our Monash Connect teams on campus to talk through your options or they can be contacted on 1800 MONASH.

Hi,
I am wondering whether is it still possible to transfer from bachelor of science course I am currently doing to a bachelor of arts course, or is it only possible to apply for semester two intake? I am confused about the whole transferring process and the deadlines! I am a first year student.

Regards,
Ashwin

Hi Monash!

Will you still have the direct entry pathway for med (2018 entry)? If so, will the 50-50-50 rule be applied for umat? (I've heard rumours that it will be brought back)

Thank you

Hello Moansh,

Thank-you for replying. If this is the case, then would we be ranked and say the top (x) amount of student will be offer a place? Also could you give a rough estimate as to how many students will be offered a placed in 2018?

Thank-you

Hello lyoko,
 
From 2018, the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours) degree will no longer have a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) selection requirement. Therefore, school-leaver applicants will be selected for admission based on ATAR and satisfying course prerequisites. The clearly-in ATAR for this course in 2018 will not be known until first round of offers are finalised and published in January 2018. As a rough guide only, students should aim for an ATAR of 90+. All applicants at or above the clearly-in ATAR and that meet course prerequisites are offered a place. Hope this helps.

Hi Monash,

I was wondering, if I start the Bachelor of Biomedical Science next year (2018), what other subjects would constitute as electives? As in, from what faculties, or what courses, could I choose as my electives? Are there any subjects I can't take as electives?

Thanks

In the Bachelor of Biomedical Science (M2003), the elective spaces in the course can be units from any faculty assuming you are eligible for the unit (i.e. meeting the prerequisites), and that you are not going against your level limits of your course. Quote from the handbook for M2003: "Electives may be at any level but no more than 10 units (60 points) at level 1 may be credited to the course and a minimum 24 points must be at level 3.").

Hi Iyoko,
We will be accepting approximately 80 applicants into the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours) in 2018, although this figure may vary each year. Applicants will be ranked and selected based on achieved ATAR and satisfactory completion of the course prerequisites. Hope this helps

Hi cookiedream,
 
We're the only Victorian university to offer a direct-entry medical program for students completing year 12 in 2018. You can read more about this course and the entry requirements in the 2018 Monash MD brochure. http://mona.sh/ZpUd30cNpSg
Selection for interview will be based on a combination of UMAT and ATAR results. While a UMAT score of 50 in each section is generally required, selection will be based on a range of criteria and we would not suggest that an applicant remove medicine as a preference based on their UMAT results.

Hi geminii,
 
Elective units may be chosen from across all disciplines the University provided that you have completed the required prerequisites and there are no restrictions on enrolment into the units. You may need permission from the owning faculty to enrol in some units taught by other faculties. Free electives can be identified using the browse units tool and indexes of units in the current edition of the Handbook. Hope this helps.

Hi Monash,

Thanks for replying! Can I also ask, how much weight is for example the SEAS program towards the ranking? For example 'under-representative school'?

Thank-you!

Hi Monash,

I wanted to know if there were any benefits to doing the Bachelor of Biomedical Science Advanced (Honours) instead of doing a Bachelor of Biomedical Science and an Honours year separately either at Monash or Melbourne Uni. Are there more opportunities to contribute to research, for example, as opposed to the normal Biomed degree?

Thank you.

Hi Monash,
I want to do a double degree in teaching and arts but I want to take electives from fine arts. Is that possible? I'm really interested doing CDS2531 (Illustration for animation).

Thank you for your time!

Hey Monash Team, I've got a question for you!
I'm working at the moment and soon I'll have enough money to finally buy a car (thank god).

I was wondering where the best places to park at Monash actually are. Should I try and get a (what are they called?) blue park permit thingy? Or are there alternative ways to park around Monash for a day without having to pay over $200 / sem?

I live in the south-east and it takes me about 20 mins to drive (no traffic) from my house to Monash Uni. I haven't really thought about carpooling in detail, but there ARE people who live around me who I could probably organise to carpool with. From your experience, what do you think my best choices (in terms of parking) are? Permit vs carpool vs free parking somewhere far vs.... anything else?

I don't mind walking 10 or 15 minutes from a car park somewhere but if possible I'd prefer not to walk any longer than that.
