I don't know anything about course transfers so I'll leave it to Monash to answer.

All units from the faculty of science are listed here in the handbook. It isn't filtered for first semester units though. It shouldn't be too hard to use the search functions in the handbook to find what you need. Use the browse function if you need the assistance.

Hi Ask Monash,

On this page http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2017handbooks/aos/politics/hons-arts-politics.html it states that "Students intending to enter honours in politics must have completed a major in that discipline". How strict is this rule? Would a major in a similar discipline, such as International Relations, be okay?

Thank you

Hi deStudent,
 
Taking Specialist Mathematics in VCE will not reduce the course duration of the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) double degree. This double degree is a 5 year (full-time) course, which requires the completion of 240 credit points. In cases where foundation units are required, then overload will be required as part of the degree.

Hope this helps 

Does anyone if taking spesh will shorten a BCOM/BENG double degree? I know that if you want to graduate in 5 years you have to overload in some semesters. I don't want to that when I start uni but I still want to graduate in 5 years.

So will taking spesh in VCE (therefore don't need to do the equivalent foundation unit - MTH1020) shorten my degree, or would I have to pick another subject to because I need to satisfy the amount of credits needed?

I tried searching online/handout but found it quite confusing and couldn't find an answer.

Hi icecream52,
 
The unit we offer which is equivalent to VCE Mathematical Methods is MTH1010 – Functions and their applications. You can read more about this unit at: https://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/units/MTH1010.html.
 
Internal course transfers will look at a couple of things – academic performance and satisfactory completion of the prerequisites. If you were to commence the Bachelor of Business at Monash University, then undertake MTH1010 in Semester 1, you can apply for an internal course transfer into the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Science double degree after completing at least one fulltime semester with at least a 75% average.
 
Note, this average should be used as a guide only. Students will be ranked according to consideration of their entire academic record and a student statement/ other documentary evidence submitted with the application.
 

Hello!!
asking: students who did the methods 3/4 equivalent in their first yr AND students who successfully transferred from caulfield to clayton
my dilemma: how hard is the uni maths compared to vce methods?
should i just do methods in yr12 and hope for the best?
honestly, methods gives me bad anxiety. like REAL BAD ANXIETY where i just can't work.

if the uni maths is //significantly// harder than yr12 methods....would i be able to survive?

also, if i work really hard 1st sem and get good grades, how hard would it be for me to do an internal transfer from
bach of business --> commerce/science?

thank you so much! <3<3

Hi Monash!

I was looking at the medicine handbook for your uni and for graduate entry it said the following:

Further places are available to students who have completed the following Monash University degrees:
„ Bachelor of Biomedical Science (including double degrees)
„ Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)
„ Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)
„ Bachelor of Science (dependent on the
completion of designated units. See list on the website)


I was wondering what the part about the Bachelor of Science means. What are the designated units?

Thank you

Hi Monash,

I'm wondering if its possible to rescind a unit that has already been completed. In my first semester of my first year I did an Arts unit that I intended to major in - ATS1903 for Literary Studies, alongside a major for Politics. I decided not to continue Literary Studies after Semester 1, and have pursued Philosophy instead. I would really like to do a double major in Politics and Philosophy. However as an Arts/Law student I only have 16 standard 6 credit point units in the Arts degree. As it stands, I would be 6 credit points short of completing the second major. Is it possible to take back those credit points spent on a 1st year Literary Studies unit and use them to complete a double major?

Just as a note, I'm not hoping to remove a bad score from my GPA or WAM - I actually did quite well in ATS1903 - I'm just concerned with trying to find a way to obtain a double major on my academic transcript.

Thanks!

Hi Miaow, your best way forward is to contact Monash Connect, where they can talk you through process and options. They can be reached on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) or via ask.monash. Hope this helps.

:,) just a question, can I study a double arts degree in Monash? I want to study anthropology and a langauage (Korean/ Japanese) or even linguistics, what are the course requirements and the ATAR score required for the course?
- Is Monash good for studying Anthropology? I know Monash is a good place to study linguistics because my Japanese teacher told me how awesome the linguistics classes were :,)

Thank you in advance

Hey, beverlycheese!

I can confirm that Linguistics at Monash is outstanding.

You could definitely double major in anthropology and a language - is that what you mean? As a general guide, you can find the clearly-in ATAR requirements (for 2017 - not necessarily for any other year) at this link. Last year, it was 81.05 for Caulfield, and 85.05 for Clayton.
