monash transfer?

Im currently studying a Bachelor of art at Victoria University- footscray campus..
and im majoring in Japanese and Performance.
Ive just been told recently, that the uni is not going to have languages there as of next year.. Sad
They said that in order to complete our majors .. we will have to do Japanese at Melb. uni.
but its going to be really weird being at 2 completely different unis. lol
and i dont think i can do 2 majors at melb uni
maybe i can fully transfer to monash.. that will be better, as it is much closer. anyone got any suggestions??
and what marks do i need to be getting to fully transfer??

Fyrefly

I'm not sure about grades... internally, a C average will generally get you into Japanese, but I imagine it's a bit different for those wishing to transfer from different universities.
Also, those with prior Jap study usually have to sit some sort of competency test (to gauge which level of Jap you should be placed in).

Umm... Performance is a very particular area of study (which I know nothing about).
You're best to contact people from that department directly so you can get quality information.

I can provide you with a few links to get you started:
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/future/
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/future/index.php

If you are unable to fully tranfer, you could enrol in a Diploma of Languages for Japanese @ either Melbourne or Monash (@ UoM it's called a "Diploma of Modern Languages").
You can claim credit for the Jap units you've already studied, so you shouldn't be forced to stick around uni any longer than you originally would have.
It sounds like this is what VU is suggesting you do, unless they've got some sort of special arrangement with UoM.

Links for Diploma:

http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/future/apps-undergraduate.php (also see the "Undergraduate Diploma Application Form" - 3rd link in box on right-hand side of screen)


Regardless of what you decide to do, try not to delay your inquiries and applications and such... you may miss deadlines you don't know about.
