Hey,
What are the requirements to be eligible for an athletic scholarship at Monash? I'm under the impression I'd have to make state level or higher consistency, would this be true?
This might be too broad, but what are the major differences between biomedicine at Monash as compared to Melbourne uni?Firstly, it's Biomedical Science at Monash, Biomedicine at UniMelb. Secondly, and most obviously, the latter has generally had a higher ATAR cut-off. Interestingly, there was something like a 5 point increase (ATAR-wise) from the 2014 and 2015 intake at Monash.
In terms of med prospects, Monash post grad only accepts their own students, and a minimum of 75 of these places are exclusively reserved for BMedSci students.
Monash don't have breadth subjects, they just have electives, which means you can choose units within the same faculty of your degree e.g. you can take chemistry, maths etc. electives within your BMedSci degree.
BMedSci degree.
In Monash, we call that "Bachelor of Medical Science", which is the optional research Honours year for med students :P BBiomedSci is more appropriate :PLOL whoops looking too much into Griffith :P
Hey Monash team!Hi there! The Monash Science faculty has just finalised their honours talk date for Friday 11 September. If you have an idea of what area you want to do your honours in, you can approach the relevant school/department as they may be holding a more specific information session around the same time. A handy website to keep an eye on for updates is this one.
I remember last year that there were honors talks (for science) happening around this time, but I can't seem to find any information on these talks. Do you know where I might be able to find this?
I just want to clear this up, if you're applying for a transfer after one year in undergrad, do they still check up on your ATAR and study scores? Or just your WAM in first year?Course transfers after first year are awarded on the basis of your WAM for that year, however you must ensure that you meet all prerequisites, their associated study scores and extra requirements for the course you are hoping to transfer into. Refer to this page.
Thanks!
This might be too broad, but what are the major differences between biomedicine at Monash as compared to Melbourne uni?Hi everyone, thank you all for helping to answer cosine's initial question. Just to clarify a few things- firstly, we're unable to make direct comparisons with our courses and the courses of other institutions, as we're not experts in their courses. We would encourage you to continue helping each other out with these kinds of questions, however to be sure it's best to check course facts with an institution representative.
Actually, they only take 75 students each year - it's a minimum of 50 places that get reserved for people in the biomedical science degree.
How hard is it to be one of those 25 students from BSci and others? Thanks!
This is an appreciated thread. Thank you for your time.
I have been waiting for a couple of months to apply for Honours (School of Literatures, Languages, Cultures and Linguistics), commencing Semester 1, 2016. I have been hesitant, because my reading was that online applications were only available for Semester 2, 2015. Now that I check again, the link (below) seems to be broken.
http://artsonline.monash.edu.au/future-students/applications-and-eligibility/
Is this just a case of being too eager? Will the online applications for Semester 1, 2016 become available soon, or am I simply looking in the wrong place?
Thank you. :)
Hi is it possible to do Juris Doctor at Monash with a Bachelors Degree from UoM? If so how do i get monash graduate points?
Can you do a bachelor of business with a triple major in three years? Or just a double major?
Mainly because it's quicker, unless you want to do a double degree in Eng/Sci @ Monash in which case it'd be the same period of time.I personally reckon there's way more to it than that, but this could be opinion. (I obvs do not represent Monash's official stance)
Does the Uni help with work placement, and industry exposure for Engineering, or is that something the student has to do themselves.
Secondly, with the double degree in Engineering/Science, is the Science major for limited fields, or do all possible areas apply? Apparently I've heard it has to tie in with your Engineering study as well.
Also you could argue this final question is for some constructive banter, but why choose the Monash Engineering Pathway as opposed to Melbourne's? ;)
How many students does the mbbs undergrad course accept from victoria, and how many from other states?
Is a maths unit compulsory in the double degree comm/sci (it says sta1010 excluded) ??
So for law at Monash, the guarantee program states that a 94 atar is the minimum required if you qualify for one of the categories.
Lets say you qualify for 2 or 3 seas categories does that mean theres a chance of getting in with an atar below 94 , or is 94 the lowest you could possibly achieve?

Hi,
about the process of transferring to Monash from other universities -
http://www.monash.edu.au/study/coursefinder/course/4632/domestic-requirements.html?courseview=domestic
Does the above page imply that Monash still considers ATAR even after an entire year at another uni? Are there any indicative entry standards (e.g 70% average) for start of year transfers?
Bump, VTAC applications are due 30th so I need an answer if possible, thanksI've been told that after a year at uni it's your uni marks that count when transferring, however if it was mid semester then your ATAR will also have been looked at.
Are we allowed to complete say 3 or 5 units in a semester? Or is it typically 4 with exceptions.
Would you be able to do a diploma of languages at Monash uni, while studying any other degree at monash? (What about if you were studying another degree at a different university?)
Also, if I wanted to do a diploma in languages at Monash, would I have to enter this in my VTAC preferences?
Thanks :)
You fine friends wouldn't happen to know when the 2016 handbook comes out, would you?
If you don't have the required WAM to transfer, can you just enrol in the units you want to do (as in units in the course you hope to transfer into) and just transfer later? I think by doing units in the course I want to transfer into, I could get a high enough WAM to officially transfer.
I want to apply for pharmacy in parkville and am eligible for seas due to Centrelink benefits, if I get above the ATAR requirement(84) rather than the clearly in (92) and meet the course requirements will I be guaranteed entry into the course?Hi MNM101, Monash has two admission schemes to support entry into our courses. The first scheme is the Monash Guarantee. If you are on a Centrelink benefit (such as Youth Allowance, FTB-A, Health Care Card, etc) you will be guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Pharmacy with an achieved ATAR of 84+. You must still satisfy all course prerequisites and extra requirements- for Pharmacy, these can be found here. Note that to be considered for the Monash Guarantee you must have completed a SEAS application.
What is the atar requirement for biomedical science at monash (clayton) with SEAS (all four categories) ?If you are on a Centrelink benefit, from an under-represented school or are an Indigenous Australian, you will be guaranteed entry into the Bachelor of Biomedical Science with an achieved ATAR of 88+ under the Monash Guarantee. You must still satisfy all course prerequisites and extra requirements, detailed here. Note that to be considered for the Monash Guarantee you must have completed a SEAS application.
What WAM is required to get into a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree?An absolute minimum WAM of 60% is required to transfer into a Monash Engineering course. However, you should aim for at least 70% for a single Engineering degree and 80% for double degrees. Acceptance will also depend on places available in the destination degree and the academic achievements of the pool of applicants. As a result, no guarantee can be provided that certain academic results will lead to a course transfer offer.
Hey, can someone please explain to me what the pre-selection activity for Monash for architecture mean when they ask "proposal for a short film or short story addressing an architectural or urban idea". I am confused with the part about architectural/ urban idea. Can someone please please explain this to me. Thank you so much.Hi there, unfortunately we are unable to directly answer your question as it forms a key part of the Architecture pre-selection activity. However, we can say that there is no right or wrong answer to the pre-selection activity- what we are looking for is both your interpretation of what needs to be done, as well as your ideas related to the prompts.
Hi!Hi whitehope! As a graduate of our Biomedical Science degree, you will have opportunities to pursue a career in medical research, including the development of technologies, therapeutics and advances in medical treatments. Potential areas of employment include government bodies, such as CSIRO, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, universities, research institutes, and the food industry, just to name a few. The faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash has over 65 postgraduate degrees, and a Biomedical Science degree will allow you to apply for a vast majority of these degrees, including radiation therapy, dietetics, pharmacy, nursing, and a PhD. You can also consider applying for an internal transfer into physiotherapy or paramedics after completing one year of the Bachelor of Biomedical Science.
I was wondering, where does the Bachelor of Biomedical Science lead to (besides gradMBBS)? To be specific, what postgraduate studies does it make us applicable for?
And if you do the Biomedical Science course, are there pathways to Physiotherapy or Paramedics?
Thanks!
Hi there,Hi Joseph41,
I’m not sure if you’ll be able to answer this, but when might Honours scholarship applicants learn of their success or otherwise? I apologise if this has been covered somewhere and I’ve missed it.
Thanks. :)
Hi Joseph41,
If you're intending to commence your Honours year in Semester 1 of 2016, I can confirm that Honours scholarship applications will start to be assessed in mid-December. Offers are made on a rolling basis from December through to January next year so you should be notified of the outcome by then. We're not sure where you're up to in the process however check out this website for further information on applying for scholarships and what’s available.
Just to let you know as well, if you have any further questions about this we will be online in the week of the 16 December to assist.
Can i go from Melbourne Arts to Arts/Law at Monash? Or is it easier to get in if you go from Arts at Monash to Arts/Law at Monash?
Hi Monash, I was looking at the entry requirements for a PhD in Law, and I read this : A Bachelors degree with honours with a grade of H1 or H2A, or an equivalent qualification considered appropriate by the Monash University Institute of Graduate Research.Hi zhenzhenzhen, to be eligible for a PhD after completing a JD, you will need to have achieved a minimum 70% average throughout your JD studies. Also, your JD should include a research component- for example, a 100% graded research paper. Let us know if you have any further questions about this.
What are the requirements / what is the process for doing a PhD after completing a JD?
Thanks :)
Hey! Just wondering what wam would usually secure a place for a transfer to biomedical science single degree and for a double degree with biomedical science? What would be the minimum? Thanks :)The minimum WAM required to transfer into a biomedical science single or double degree is 70, however it is suggested you aim as high as possible as selection is made purely based on grades.
Can i go from Melbourne Arts to Arts/Law at Monash? Or is it easier to get in if you go from Arts at Monash to Arts/Law at Monash?Hi Alps,
Hi Monash!Hi sparkyblossom! All students who are selected as an Access Monash Ambassador (AMA) are eligible to be considered for the Monash Community Leaders Scholarship. Only AMAs who meet the academic requirements (WAM of 70 or above for current Monash University students or an ATAR of 90 for commencing students) and citizenship requirements (Australian or New Zealand citizen, holder of an Australian permanent resident or permanent humanitarian visa) and who are enrolled full time on any Australian Monash University campus will be offered a scholarship. Those that do not meet those requirements are still eligible to volunteer with Access Monash. In 2016 we will be offering 300 Community Leaders Scholarships.
Just wondering, how are recipients of the Community Leaders Scholarship selected from the pool of AMAs? Or do all AMAs automatically receive the scholarship?
Thanks :)
Hi zhenzhenzhen, to be eligible for a PhD after completing a JD, you will need to have achieved a minimum 70% average throughout your JD studies. Also, your JD should include a research component- for example, a 100% graded research paper. Let us know if you have any further questions about this.
Roughly when are transfer offers released?Hi wonga, could you provide us with some more information? Transfer offer dates differ by faculty, and also differ depending on whether or not you’re transferring externally (from another institution) or internally (from one Monash course to another). Just let us know the faculty you want to transfer into, and whether the transfer would be from within, or to, Monash.
Thanks for that. Does this mean that doing a research unit is compulsory to be eligible to do a PhD?Hi zhenzhenzhen, we’ve been advised by Law admissions that the Minor thesis option (LAW5084) is most suitable should you want to pursue your PhD.
If so, I see three options listed:
1) LAW5185 Graduate research paper
2) LAW5083 Extended research
3) LAW5084 Minor thesis
Will doing any of these qualify? Thanks!
For grad entry med in 2017 where 50 places are reserves for bio med students, does this also include students doing a double degree of biomed + another degree?Hi Deshouka, as you referenced, from 2017, 50 places in our Graduate Entry Medicine Program will be reserved for our Biomedical Science students. This includes students who are completing a double degree with Biomed. For more information, visit this page.
Im planning to do bio med and commerce but not sure if this offer is restricted to students doing a single bio med degree.
Thanks for your time.
Hello. :) My girlfriend has a question:Hi Joseph41, to answer your girlfriend’s question, the Diploma of Liberal Arts is taught in on-campus mode. Some Arts units are available online, to see a list of these, visit this page. It seems like she’s already worked this out, however all Arts units begin with ATS.
"Is it possible to do the units from a Diploma of Liberal Arts (Human Rights) as off campus learning? I am a medical student with rural placements, so therefore can't attend classes at Clayton/Caufield. Looking at the units, they don't seem to be available off campus, including the compulsory ones."
Just to clarify, she is interested in studying the Diploma of Liberal Arts concurrently with her MBBS.
Thanks!
Hi I'm just wondering if it is possible (and how competitive/hard is it) to transfer from Bbus at Caulfield to commerce at Clayton or perhaps from rmit or deakin to commerce at clayton. Thanks.Hi zacgiles, it is possible to transfer from a Bachelor of Business at Monash or another institution into our Bachelor of Commerce after a year of study. You must ensure you meet the prerequisites for the Bachelor of Commerce (25 in Methods or Specialist Maths, 25 in English), and aim for a first year average mark of at least 70 to be eligible for transfer. As transferring is a competitive process, the higher your average mark over 70, the better chance you will have of being successful.
Hi wonga, could you provide us with some more information? Transfer offer dates differ by faculty, and also differ depending on whether or not you’re transferring externally (from another institution) or internally (from one Monash course to another). Just let us know the faculty you want to transfer into, and whether the transfer would be from within, or to, Monash.Whoops, yep, internal transfer to biomed thanks :)
The minimum WAM required to transfer into a biomedical science single or double degree is 70, however it is suggested you aim as high as possible as selection is made purely based on grades.
Hi,Hi cosine, we can’t give you a minimum ATAR requirement for the Bachelor of Biomedical Science or any of our courses as there is no way of knowing one prior to selection. You should use last year’s clearly-in ATAR for the course (95.5) as an indication of what you need if you don’t have a SEAS application, however this score may change a little for 2016 entry (it may move up or down depending on how many people apply and the number of places available). Further, SEAS bonusing is awarded on a case-by-case basis according to an individual’s circumstances- in other words, each SEAS application will qualify for different bonusing. To get an idea of how many SEAS points you may qualify for, and the estimated ATAR you will then need to achieve, use our SEAS estimate calculator located here.
What is the absolute minimum ATAR requirement for Bachelor of Biomedicine at Monash, with and without SEAS application?
Thank you,
Cosine
Hey,
So received my atar of 92.40 and throughout the year i've been hoping of getting into arts/law.
I know the Monash guarantee is 94 and was wondering would Monash still consider my application even though I got below 94? ( I have 3 seas categories and like 1 subject bonus)
Also heard Monash is offering the Law/global studies for the first time this year, does this mean there are more positions available for Law? I'm thinking of placing Law/global studies as my first preference in hope that they would be more likely to provide me a spot below the clearly in.( guessing there would be less demand for law/global studies when compared to arts/law, is this a wise move?)
Is there any hope, should i keep my 2 Law preferences at Monash or am I doomed?
Thanks
Posted this on another part of this forum before I realised you guys were on here,
anyway, this was my question - I Missed out on the 98 clearly-in ATAR for Monash Law / Commerce - receiving instead a 97.8. Looking at the VTAC course guide for this degree, bonus aggregate points are offered if certain scores are achieved in certain subjects. A maximum of five points can be awarded; I qualify for three because of 40+ study scores achieved in English, Global Politics and Legal Studies.
Can you comment on how these bonus points might impact my score and entry prospects? Any help greatly appreciated! :)
Posted here before but I don't think it went through/can't find it as the site is buggy... Basically I have a question about the diploma of languages - Is it possible to complete the diploma alongside a double degree such as BBiomedSci/BEng or BBiomedSci/BCom? If so, would this mean studying 1 language unit alongside 2+2 degree units per semester or something and how long would the degree duration be extended by?
Thanks!
If I am accepted for my first preference course during first round offer period, and I decline the offer, would I automatically then be offered my second preference in between the first and second rounds or during the second round itself, given that I meet the clearly-in ATARs for all courses on my preference list?
If my atar is just above the Monash guarantee atar for bachelor of science (and I'm eligible for the Monash guarantee), is it absolutely certain I will get in?? What if there are too many enrolments? Would the people who got higher atars be preferred?
Also is there a possibility that the Monash guarantee atars will change in 2016?
If there are spaces open in those second and third prefs after the first round of offers, then yes (although I think you're offered it in the second round, not in between, not 100% sure on that timing). But that's not something you should bank on happening.
In general, the advice is to accept your first round offer. If you're thinking of declining it, then maybe it shouldn't be at the top of your preference list?
If I am accepted for my first preference course during first round offer period, and I decline the offer, would I automatically then be offered my second preference in between the first and second rounds or during the second round itself, given that I meet the clearly-in ATARs for all courses on my preference list?Hi alchemy, the offer you receive when Round 1 offers come out on Monday 18 January 2016 is the only offer you can receive for first round. We would strongly advise that you accept your first round offer. You may receive a second offer on Thursday 4 February 2016 when second round offers are released. If you decide you want to take up your second offer over your first, you can then decline your first round offer.
Hello,Hi Sardothienn, congratulations on receiving the Monash University Support Bursary! If you choose to take up your place in a Monash course, the money will be paid directly to you after the census date. From there, you can choose what you want to do with it- including pay your university tuition fees (however you have to organise this yourself- it isn’t automatic). If you were to transfer courses within Monash, the scholarship is transferable, however if you transfer to a longer course than the one you initially enrolled in, it may not last the duration of your new course. For more information about the Support Bursary including contact details of the Scholarships unit, visit this page.
So I got a scholarship (Monash Uni support bursary) and was wondering if this could be transferred to tuition fees for the Bachelor of Pharmacy/ Pharmaceutical science degree, instead of it being paid directly to me. Also, if I were to transfer courses is this scholarship transferable?
hi! i was wondering how many contact hours bachelor of business and bachelor of marketing has in first year? :)Hi coffeeislove, depending on the units you choose to enrol in, you’re up for approximately 12 contact hours in the Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Marketing in first year.
If my atar is just above the Monash guarantee atar for bachelor of science (and I'm eligible for the Monash guarantee), is it absolutely certain I will get in?? What if there are too many enrolments? Would the people who got higher atars be preferred?Hi scarletmoon, the Monash Guarantee ATAR for the Bachelor of Science for 2016 entry is 75. If you achieved this ATAR or higher, and are eligible for the Monash Guarantee (which is sounds like you are, just spelling it out) you will gain a place in the course.
Also is there a possibility that the Monash guarantee atars will change in 2016?

Hi coffeeislove, depending on the units you choose to enrol in, you’re up for approximately 12 contact hours in the Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Marketing in first year.
thanks, what about if i did both as a double degree?That's what they've given you.
If your course structure allows for it, you could enrol in units from a course you are hoping to transfer into. This should allow you to gain credit for those units should you be successful in gaining a transfer later.
That's what they've given you.
Is it possible to transfer to bachelor of biomedicine after 1 yr of bachelor of science?yes
Is it very hard to transfer? What would be the requirements?70+average for a single degree and probably 75+ for a double degree
Is it possible to do a Diploma of Languages with MBBS?
Yup.
Does it add an extra year to your course or is there a way to do it concurrently/cover some units abroad in summer hol?
how do subject bonuses work!!! so for my course which is double in business and arts, it offers these bonuses for doing accounting and economics etc. As along as i achieve a study score OF 25.
Now this is what gets me. Every other study score thing in my course says AT LEAST. I got over 30 study scores for those bonus subjects, will i still get the aggregate points?
What's the process of reviving an excellence scholarship as an undergrad student? Is it just awarded to the top students automatically or is there an application process? ThanksHi warya, the Monash Scholarship for Excellence is awarded to eligible students on the basis of their ATAR only. No application is required, but students did have to nominate Monash as at least one of their VTAC preferences.
thanks, what about if i did both as a double degree?Hi coffeeislove, just to clarify- the 12 contact hours estimated was for the double degree in Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Marketing. If you decided to study a single degree, you would also have around the same contact hours. There’s a bit of a myth out there that double degrees mean double the work, but this isn’t true. They take more time to complete than single degrees, allowing you to study half your full-time load towards one degree, and the other half towards the other.
Thanks. What about if your course structure doesn't allow for this? Can you still enrol in random units outside of the course structure if you've used up all your electives?Hi Rosa62, we need a little bit more context from you here, I think. However, for what it’s worth, if your full-time load is being taken up by core units- you can’t just enrol in as many units as you want outside of your course structure. You may be able to apply to overload, but permission for this is granted on a case-by-case basis.
Hi Ask Monash University,Hi sugandi, the only difference with the options you are considering is that the order of when you study each respective degree would end up being different. Your selected double degrees take four years to complete. If you were to transfer into one of the selected doubles after one year of Business (Banking and Finance), you could also complete the double in four years.
I was just wondering if i was to take up Banking and Finance (the business specialist course) in my first year and then in my second year take up a double degree of BankingFinance/IT or BankingFinance/Business, how would that process be different than if i originally started with one of those double degrees in my first year and never transferred.
Would I have to do an additional year to make up for the part of the degree I didn't do in the first year, how would that work? Would you recommend just starting with either one of double degrees?
Thanks in advance :) :)
Is it possible to transfer to bachelor of biomedicine after 1 yr of bachelor of science?Hi scarletmoon, yes, it’s possible to transfer into the Bachelor of Biomedicine after one year of the Bachelor of Science. You need to ensure you meet all the prerequisites for Biomedicine (30 in English, 25 in Methods, Spesh or Physics and 25 in Chem- for more information, visit here) . The minimum WAM (weighted average mark) required is 70, however it is strongly suggested you aim as high as possible as selection is competitive.
Is it possible to do a Diploma of Languages with MBBS?
Does it add an extra year to your course or is there a way to do it concurrently/cover some units abroad in summer hol?
Doesn't add a year, people usually do it on top of med and take on summer commitments (including overseas trips for various things).Hi Splash-Tackle-Flail, yes, it’s possible to study a Diploma of Languages with MBBS or atop of any Monash course in fact. Whilst it is equivalent to an extra year of study, as pi has mentioned, you may be able to overload on your Med studies to cut this time down.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me my likeliness of me getting into law or global studies/law at Monash? I got an 87 ATAR and I have applied for SEAS under financial disadvantage and for living remote and rural and will have subject bonuses, so is it possible that I could get in with that ATAR despite it being so low?
Thanks :)
how do subject bonuses work!!! so for my course which is double in business and arts, it offers these bonuses for doing accounting and economics etc. As along as i achieve a study score OF 25.Hi RustyWolff, we’re guessing you’re referring to the VTAC entry for the Monash course Arts/Business (reference number 2800227511), is that correct? If so, as long as you achieve the minimum study scores that they have published under the ‘Subject Bonus’ section, you will qualify for aggregate points, to a maximum of 8 points.
Now this is what gets me. Every other study score thing in my course says AT LEAST. I got over 30 study scores for those bonus subjects, will i still get the aggregate points?
Hello,Hi Kristen88, firstly, well done- you’ve achieved wonderfully in your VCE. Both Law and Global Studies/Law have indicative clearly-in ATARs of 98, however this may go up or down depending on how many applicants we have this year- a bigger unknown than usual, given that Global Studies/Law is a new degree in 2016. SEAS applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis- if you haven’t already done so, check out our SEAS Calculator at monash.edu/seas to see what scaling you may get. Our advice to you would be to keep both of these courses at the top of your preference list if they are your two dream courses, followed by a number of pathway options.

Hello Monash University,Hi cosine, like all our double degree courses, the benefits of studying a double degree in Biomed/Science include the ability to study towards two degrees at once, maximising time and saving money, and upon graduation, having job prospects in more than one field. However, perhaps a better question to ask is how studying Biomed/Science would benefit you over studying a single degree in Biomed, or vice versa. You should consider the former if you have an interest in both study areas and not want to give anything up- for example, you may have really enjoyed maths and science at school and want to keep studying these subjects whilst also pursuing a new interest in Biomed. Another benefit of starting off in a double degree is that you can try both and make an informed decision about whether or not you want to hold a dual qualification- as you could transfer out of either degree into a single degree. On the contrary, the single degree in Biomedical Science may be of greater benefit to you if you were aiming to study Graduate Medicine and wanted to minimise your time spent studying at undergraduate level.
I was wondering what the benefits are of doing a double degree of Bachelor of Biomedicine/Science, over the single degree of Bachelor of Biomedicine?
Thanks, and just a few more follow up questions (sorry Change of Preference is coming up and these choices are life choices from a school-leaver perspective :P )Hi Splash-Tackle-Flail, answers to your questions as below:
1. Is the Diploma of Languages also CSP?
2. Can I start learning the language from first year? I've already taken a year off chinese and I can feel the languagedisturbingly quicklyslowly slipping away.
3. How would one go about overloading (If I go Monash I'm hoping to push for the 6 years Med w BMedScience research year, so the extra DipLang year may make it longer if I don't overload)? If I can do the DipLang I'll very likely do a study abroad thing on one of the summer holidays, but Med is already a crazy high workload, so it would be great to get an idea of what I'm getting into if I try to do language at the same time.
4. Is it possible to do a language at university (I considered night school, but at this age I need more accountability :P ) without the diploma?
What are the contact hours for Comm/Law?Hi Botopie, in first year, you're looking at approximately 15 contact hours for Comm/Law.
Thanks in advance
Hi Monash Uni,Hi JI2015, Briggs Hall and Jackomos Hall are popular options, but there may still be some places left for 2016. We suggest you apply as soon as possible, as rooms are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. It sounds like you’ve already found it, but here’s the link to apply: http://mrs.monash.edu/oncampus/applications.html
I am interested in on-campus accommodation at the Clayton Campus but still have not applied. My application will be completed within two days. Is it likely that I can secure a studio room at either Briggs Hall or Jackomos Hall?
Thanks

Hey guys, just wanted to ask this;
Unfortunately I didn't make the (approximate) atar for Commerce/com spec, but I would probably be able to do bus spec/IT. Sorry if it has been asked before, but what do I need do to in order to transfer to commerce if I take a business degree? Or is it even possible? Thanks.
Thanks as always, just one more quick thing: does Mannix offer Chinese lessons in this case? Like would something like 1st year MBBS with Mannix Chinese (so won't be directly with monash but will be a means to prepare for DipLang), and then 2nd year start learning it on campus?
Cheers for answering all the Qs btw- it makes these choices somewhat easier/less stressful
Not sure about Mannix Chinese but I heard DipLang Chinese is really simple for non-chinese speaking students so even if you don't have any class before, you can still manage to do well in diplang :)
What about post vce-level, like since I did it in school I don't think I can do beginners??
but what do I need do to in order to transfer to commerce if I take a business degree? Or is it even possible?
It's possible. To transfer you would send an application into the faculty at the end of first year and then they would let you know if the transfer is accepted or not. You would be judged by your uni marks and not your ATAR. you should aim for a 75+ average to transfer.
Hello Monash,Hi Abs_tastic, apologies for the delay. You’ll find out about the outcome of the Community Leaders Scholarship sometime in January. You can keep an eye on the progress of offers made here.
Any possibility of clarifying when Community Leaders Scholarship (as part of Access Monash) for non-VCE students will be provided? If so, will I also receive a rejection email at the same time if I am unsuccessful? I am actually moving out and relying on the $4,000 for finance - would appreciate a response.
Thanks,
Hi.
Has anyone ever transferred from Deakin/RMIT Science into Monash Science after 1 year? Is it really competitive this way? Or would it be wiser to go into a Diploma at Monash college then into Science at the University?
Cheers
The end of first year ? Can I send my application for mid-year entrance ?
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) students who have previously met the admission criteria for a faculty degree can only transfer when the faculty has CSP places available. This will normally be at the end of the academic year for admittance in the next academic year.http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/esg/agu/policies/internal-course-transfers.html
I imagine that if you get at least a 65+ WAM (which to put in context is halfway between a credit and distinction average) that you will have a very good chance at being successful.
I'm sure many people have transferred to Monash from Deakin and RMIT. It is not really as competitive as you may imagine to transfer; I imagine that if you get at least a 65+ WAM (which to put in context is halfway between a credit and distinction average) that you will have a very good chance at being successful. You could also consider transferring mid year if that is an attractive option for you.
I would not recommend going the diploma route. It will most likely be cheaper and more straightforward if you are transferring from a degree rather than a diploma program (plus if it turns out the transfer didn't work out then at least you have a solid degree to fall back on rather than just a diploma).

Are you just speculating or do you have some experience or friends who have done this? Because people I know have had difficulty transferring with credit averages. My understanding is you need 75+, especially for an external transfer.
Usually not, because at mid-year there are normally no CSP places available
http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/esg/agu/policies/internal-course-transfers.html
You would meet the pre-requisites to apply for the transfer which is only completion of two units at mid-year, but if there aren't any places available at that time, it is futile.
Heyyy,
im planning to a double degree for buisness & buisness specialist
and if someone could just tell me how much extra work is a double degree?
will i have double exams??
thank you :)
Hi i did not manage to apply for the scholarship "Monash UniStart Bursary" The page says that "Late applications are open between January and March each year". Do i need to be enrolled in a course? As far as i know i got into the clearly in with the Monash Gurantee for my course. I am a commencing student in 2016 does that mean i automatically get it? I didnt apply through VTAC throughout this year. Do i need to apply again through VTAC in Jan-March? I am eligible through the financial difficulty sectionYou'll reapply with Monash after you've accepted and enrolled into one of their courses.
There's a misconception that a double degree means double the work. The reality is that you will have very similar contact hours to single degree students. This is because you generally spread the extra units you do over an additional year so the overall workload is pretty much the same. You will still only be doing 4 units a semester (unless you decide to overload for whatever reason) so you won't have double exams.Okay thanks so much!! i was also wondering will my hours be longer?? i was talking to a friend who is in Uni and she said if i am able to handle extremely long hours like 9-6pm each day?? is that true :o

Depends ENTIRELY on your course.
Science students generally have the largest contact hours (except maybe med, because dey all secret and I have no idea what their hours are like.) Engineering students like to say theirs are larger, but I can promise you that they're full of it.
As a science student, yes, I often spend a full 9-6 day at uni each day of the week - BUT I also know plenty of science students (with just as many contact hours as me!) only spend 10-5 or 10-6 days at uni, and they'll only come in 3 days a week. I also know some who only come in 3 days a week and only have 2-5 or 2-6 days.
It all depends on your course and how well you set up your timetable. For your business/business specialist double, I highly doubt you'd spend every day at uni from 9-6. Maybe you will if you do all your work at uni and hence have no homework, but otherwise I reckon you'll be in from like 9-3 a few days a week.
Ooooh thank you so much for clearing it up :)
-- Yeah she was freaking me out so much lol , so it would be easy to balance a job and uni right? Do u work?
Kind of/sort of.
I do on/off work with AN, I'm also the president of one of the student societies at Monash as well as being on the committee for another group, Young Scientists of Australia. All up, defs don't make as much as your usual casual worker would, but I reckon I have enough outside-academics stuff to qualify for at least one casual worker. :P I also have plenty of friends who work and easily balance uni and a casual job.
However, I'd be wary of taking a lot of time for your job at once in your first semester. I'd suggest working what you did during year 12, and if after your first semester you feel like you could take more hours, THEN take more hours. You'll need time to adjust to uni, and the university treats you like a full time student.
My friend went there in.. 2005? Anyway, he found a job because he saw an ad posted somewhere in the uni. Is that still up today? Would there be a place where they help students find a job or simply a place where there's like job offer ads?
What subjects do I need to take in bachelor of science to qualify for graduate medicine?
Im considering Juris Doctor at Monash, and its requirements is a GPA 5.2/7 or a 6.3/7 for a CPS place. Could someone please tell me what the 5.2 and 6.3 out of 7 is converted to a GPA out of 4?
Hi. How many contact hours is there in Arts at Monash?
Hi. How many contact hours is there in Arts at Monash?
Hello! I am planning to study a double degree next year in bachelor of business and bachelor of marketing (Caulfield) and i was wondering if there are any opportunities to study overseas in this course? Thank you :D :D :DThere definitely is. Google monash abroad and you will see more details.
Is clinical school/zone allocation dependent on first year marks or a random process?
Assuming you mean for Monash med.
Firstly, unlike UoM, Monash doesn't give students one clinical school for all of their clinical years. You might be (for example) at Monash Health for year 3B, then at Eastern Health and Alfred Health for year 4C, then maybe at three different clinical schools in year 5D.
For entry into year 3B, you get to preference metro vs rural (some people still get rural even with a metro preference, bad luck). Regardless, your MED2000 scores (end of year 2A score) are ranked and divided into quartiles. Each clinical school is randomly allocated students such that they each have an equal number from each quartile. So yes, it is essentially random, but done in a way so that each school has an equal mix of academic performance. edit: there are some rumours that people who sat supps are more likely to get Monash Health (specifically MMC) or Central Clinical School (specifically Alfred Health), but those are just rumours.
For entry into year 4C, you again get to preference (and some people still miss out on metro, again, too bad) and then the Faculty randomly allocates you to wherever depending on the rotation. For example, I was at Monash Health for paeds, Eastern Health for O+G, Monash Health again fro Psych.
For entry into year 5D, you get to preference specific rotations at specific sites for each of your five allocated rotations, you also get a sixth elective rotation.
1. I applied for science/arts at monash next year, but I think the deadline has passed, so is it possible to somehow withdraw from science or am I stuck with it?
2. can you please direct me to some Law textbooks/resources so I may be able to borrow them from the library and see if I will enjoy law?
thanks!!
I'm looking to do a double degree once I graduate, most likely Engineering + Science, but I just recently found out about combining a specialist degree with a comprehensive degree (after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kC3JSy4sTKw). I was wondering..
1. What are the differences between doing a double degree and combining a specialist degree with a comprehensive degree?
2. What is a 'specialist degree'?
3. What is a 'comprehensive degree'?
4. Will doing a double degree make my qualifications different to if I did a specialist degree + comprehensive degree combination? I saw in the video, that if you do a double degree, you get two certificates that say (for example): 'Bachelor of Science with a major in Mathematics', and 'Bachelor of Biomedical Science'. And if you combine a specialist degree with another degree you get (for example) 'Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours)' and 'Bachelor of Commerce with a major in Finance'. So what is an 'Honours'? What does it mean if you have a 'major' in something? What do these terms mean? Are the qualifications from the first scenario different to those in the second scenario?
It would be awesome if you could help me out! Thanks :)
If I'm planning on starting a Bachelor of Science next year, will I need to keep my graphics calculator? Do any maths/physics subjects need them at all?Burkard Polster, who lectures MTH1030, hates them and wrote an assignment that demonstrates them being stupid.... So, no.
Burkard Polster, who lectures MTH1030, hates them and wrote an assignment that demonstrates them being stupid.... So, no.Okay cool. I usually use Wolfram Alpha when I'm at home anyway. Is Mathematica something we can only access on Monash computers or can we download it onto our laptops? Because I'm guessing it isn't free software?
Monash students have access to a program called Mathematica - it's the same program Wolfram Alpha uses, so feel free to use that to get an idea of what you have to work with. It's basically a much more powerful CAS, I love it, that and excel easily trump the CAS.
Okay cool. I usually use Wolfram Alpha when I'm at home anyway. Is Mathematica something we can only access on Monash computers or can we download it onto our laptops? Because I'm guessing it isn't free software?Yup, mathematica can be downloaded onto a student device! It's also on most Monash PCs.
Also how much do you really use a laptop in Uni? Is it really just used for basic word processing and web browsing for research etc? I don't really know how much I should invest in a laptop. Just get a simple Chromebook or something better.
Thanks!
Hi i wanna do like two majors at monash arts, however i cant find a course map like the one melbourne uni provides for two majors.. is this even a thing?Definitely - I swear I know someone with a major in psych and philosophy. (Didn't check his final stuff LOL)
Hi i wanna do like two majors at monash arts, however i cant find a course map like the one melbourne uni provides for two majors.. is this even a thing?
I was speaking to another member of the AN community in search of an Art elective that gives a genuine taste of Law,Well here's the list of all arts units offered at monash: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/units/index-byfaculty-arts.html
he said there was a certain elective out there, but did not recall the name of it, is there anyone able to clear up this matter?
thanks!!
Definitely - I swear I know someone with a major in psych and philosophy. (Didn't check his final stuff LOL)
Just going to have to write your own course map. ;) Just make sure you fulfill all the listed requirements.
So what makes up the requirements for a major in Bachelor of Arts? The course maps says that i need to a major a minor, an arts elective and any elective. Is there a way to avoid doing random arts electives? I dont quite understand the system just yet.You need to look at this website. In fact, part C clearly states you can use the units from that section to get a second major. It looks like you can get 3, tbh, but you'd have to ask a course advisor to make sure.

Awesome some more further questions. When do i plan my semester and the units i can do? If i wanna major in Criminology and Psychology. Do i do both the level 1 gateway units for both majors in semester 1? Or do i do 1 per semester in the first year? Whats the most common thing to do. I ask you but i also ask the arts boss joseph 8)
As an example of an Arts degree with two majors, here is my set-up:
Major 1: Linguistics
First year units: ATS1338, ATS1339
Second year units: ATS2667, ATS2676, ATS2683
Third year units: ATS3679, ATS3681, ATS3673
Major 2: International Studies
First year units: ATS1325, ATS1326
Second year units: ATS2637, ATS2640,
Third year units: ATS3639, ATS3872, ATS3627, ATS3630
***You will note that for Linguistics I had three second year units and three third year units, whilst there was a two/four split for International Studies. This is okay, because there is an option (you will see this on the course map) for one of the units to be taken at second or third year level.***
First year Arts sequence: Human rights theory
First year units: ATS1314, ATS1315
Extra Arts units, any year level:
First year units: PSY1011, PSY1022
Electives:
First year units: AMU1311, ATS1371
Other units: AMU2450, AMU2906
If you want to major in both Criminology and Psychology, I would take ATS1281 (I think this is first year Crim?) and PSY1011 (first year Psych) in your first semester.
Awesome
Now if i just want to major in Criminology how would my outline look like? By the way i would like to transfer to Arts/Law which is my dream course. How would my degree look like if i switch next year? At this moment i want to major in just Criminology.
Hi there,AFAIK, yes, you do. However, even if you don't, a volunteer WWC is free and lasts for 5 years, so it's not like you'll lose much. ;)
If you've been offered a position as an AMA, do you need a working with children check?
AFAIK, yes, you do. However, even if you don't, a volunteer WWC is free and lasts for 5 years, so it's not like you'll lose much. ;)
Do scholarship offers come with course offers?It depends on the scholarship. Have a look here and if you see any scholarships you're looking out for which says 'in progress', it'll mean that scholarship offers have been made for that specific scholarship. Once offers come out (as well as scholarship acceptance deadline in a week's time), some people may not necessarily be eligible for certain scholarships (E.g Receiving a conditional scholarship offer for Engineering Excellence Award but not doing Engineering) so those scholarships will be passed onto those next eligible until they have all been "offered" which indicates that all offers have been made and accepted.

Maybe something there will jog your memory. I haven't personally done any units that felt especially law-y, but I have a mate who majored in criminology before moving to arts/law who said that FoL was ez pz for him because of his experience doing crim. I can't comment on the validity of that claim, but I believe he wound up with a final mark of 90+.
Starting first year at uni this year and would like to get a casual or part time job this year. Planning on doing Law/Commerce and I'm wondering if it'll be too much for me? I've never had a job before so don't know how much of a load it'd be for me - I'd imagine it'd be tough but is it worth it or am I better off just focusing on studies?Definitely possible - just take it slow to start with, take less shifts if you need to. After a semester, if you think you can handle the pressure, feel free to take more shifts.

For monash arts can i choose to do 4 "major subjects" in the first year?Definitely.
What i mean by this is
Semester 1- Criminology Gateway Unit 1 | Human Rights Gateway Unit 1 | International Studies Gateway Unit 1 | International Relations Gateway Unit 1
Semester 2- Criminology Gateway Unit 2 | Human Rights Gateway Unit 2 | International Studies Gateway Unit 2 | International Relations Gateway Unit 2
Definitely.
I think you're a little confused as to how the major things work, though. A major is just a collection of units - in this way, nearly all units count towards a major in this way. In fact, it would be pretty hard to do any semester without 4 "major" units!
Okay, yeah you are right, im probably confused. I simply assumed different because the course map for Arts says i need to do a major, minor, and electives? Idk ill get it sooner or later hahaIt's all good! You should take a look through my guide I posted recently on the forums, it might help.
Are round 2 offers made for biomedicine?Yes they are!
Does this include ATAR's below the monash guarantee?From the information above, it'd be included within the below the clearly-in since it did increase however as for including ATAR's below the Monash Guarantee, I won't make a statement on that and just leave it to @AskMonashUniversity since they'd know more about the splitting of numbers below the clearly-in to answer.
Is it possible to double major in commerce? Econometrics and finance both sound appealing to me and they'd seem to compliment each other quite well, but I'd hate to have to choose between them.It is possible.
I'm doing the double with engineering if that makes a difference.
The course begins with an introduction to core commerce discipline principles, and then offers the choice and flexibility to study up to two majors in different commerce disciplines, and the opportunity to study overseas or undertake an internship.http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/B2001.html

You could do two commerce majors if you were doing a single commerce degree (through the use of elective units) but you cannot do 2 majors if you are doing a double degree with commerce. Refer to the handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/B2001.html, which states that for commerce you must complete 6 introductory units which therefore means you will not have enough room to fit in 2 majors worth of units.

skip to around 0:51 , so its possible to do a double major if its an arts degree alongside and engineering degree then?
it's sorta confusing now...are there exceptions depending on what field you choose?
Damn, so I'm guessing doing a major in one and a minor in the other is off the table as well?
Hi Monash (or someone else), could you please explain what the 'Arts specified study' part is of the Arts course at Monash, and how it differs from a major? I'm a bit confused as to what this is.
Thank you :)
Hi i'm interested in actuarial science(commerce specialist)/commerce but th atar is only given as 92+ and no clearly in, what does this mean?Hi Mellyboo, the Bachelor of Commerce Specialist (Actuarial Science)/Bachelor of Commerce has an estimated ATAR of 92+ because as it is a new course for 2016, we can’t publish an indicative clearly-in from the previous year. If it is your dream course and you have an ATAR of 90+, we would recommend that you keep it at the top of your preferences.
Thank you. For context, I want to transfer courses but my wam is too low. My full time load is being taken up by core units as there are no electives. I want to know if there's any possibility of enrolling in the units for the course I want to transfer in (completely different units to current course) instead of enrolling in the units for my current course. Then eventually I would have a high enough wam to actually transfer and would already be a fair way into the new course. Don't know if this is allowed though...Hi Rosa62, if your full time load is being taken up by core units of your current course, it doesn’t sound like you would be able to overload with units from the course you are aiming to transfer into. You may want to arrange an appointment with your current faculty’s course advisor to further discuss your options. Also remember that you may still be able to transfer into your dream course in future semesters, as you can still increase your WAM with the subjects you are currently studying.
Thanks again
Any information on when bursaries and scholarships for next year will be offered to current undergraduate students? I assume in January after offers are released to Year 12s?Hi extremeftw, yes, bursaries and scholarships for next year will be offered to current undergraduate students from January-March 2016. Keep an eye on this page for the progress of offers.
1. You can always withdraw from science once you study. but I'm pretty sure there is still a change of preference window on vtac, just add arts to your preferences and preference it above arts/science. if not there is something called a negotiated offer where you contact monash directly and ask them if there are places available in arts and if there is that supersedes all your preferences on VTAC and you get an offer directly from Monash.Hi DeezNuts, just wanted to clarify something that chasej mentioned in regards to your first question about wanting to study Arts over Arts/Science. Negotiated offers don’t exist anymore, so instead you can log into your VTAC preferences after first round offers are made and change your preferences between 10am, 19 January – 4pm, 29 January. This may mean you get a second or subsequent round offer for our Bachelor of Arts from the 4th February. For more information on change of preference rounds and offer dates, visit: http://vtac.edu.au/dates.html
2. It's difficult to get an idea of what is actually involved in law by reading the textbook. the textbook would just be a whole lot of cases, legislation and explanations. law involves a fair bit of reading and is basically what you would think, you learn law and critical reasoning, discuss the different arguments there could be etc.
If you do want to get a text though this is the monash introductory unit (law1111) text https://studentvip.com.au/textbooks/1751091 but I don't see what clarity it could give you about whether you wish to study law just by reading it alone.
there used to be some great resources on law here which helped me decide but I can no longer find them ??
My transfer application got rejected. Is there anything I can do about this ?Hi anna.xo , we’re sorry to hear your transfer application was unsuccessful. Our advice would be to approach MNHS Student Services to see what your options now are- you can find their contact details here.
From the information above, it'd be included within the below the clearly-in since it did increase however as for including ATAR's below the Monash Guarantee, I won't make a statement on that and just leave it to @AskMonashUniversity since they'd know more about the splitting of numbers below the clearly-in to answer.Hi scarletmoon, just wanted to clarify some of your questions. Round 2 offers for Biomedicine have been made in previous years, and may be made for 2016 entry depending if there are still available places after Round 1. We can’t give you a ‘minimum’ ATAR required for a Biomedical Science offer, as it depends on factors such as SEAS and again, the amount of applicants and places available in the course. Our advice would be to leave it on the top of your preference list if it is your dream course.
When you get your offers for courses at Monash university do you need your tax file number to be able to accept them? I just applied for my tax file number and I'm not sure if I'll receive it in time. Would there be any other way to accept offers from Monash University? :)
Thanks, I appreciate any help!

Thanks, I appreciate any help!
For the time being you can give monash the receipt number for the TFN application and you need to them the actual number by census data which is three or so weeks in.
Do you have different WAMs or GPAs in double degrees? Say for instance you finish your Arts/Law degree, do your employers look at the marks in Law only? Or do they look at your WAM that consists marks from both Arts and Law?
on mine it lists one GPA and wam but I know employers in law place greater weight on the law units as opposed to arts units. But the arts units are still important. Even more important than grades is work experience, positive personal attributes etc.
What kind of work experience? Is it possible to do like internships at law firms while still being at uni?
Hi. I got the Monash Gurantee for my 2nd preference, does this mean that on the 19th i will 100% receive an offer for this course?Only if you don't get your first preference.
Only if you don't get your first preference.
Ah the first was chancellors :o i wonder why they dont have seas for the chancellors but oh well, thanks anyways
Will I still be able to get into this degree in second round offers? Is there likely to be places left??
Are there still scholarship's to be given to new undergrad students enrolling for the start of 2016?Hi dankfrank420, more scholarship offers will be made in January and February to new undergrad students enrolling for the start of 2016. You can keep an eye on this page for the progress of offers.
hey!Hi DeezNuts, depending on which faculty you end up studying with, your Honours year may or may not be able to be deferred. Best to check with your managing faculty once you commence your undergraduate course.
Is it possible to defer honours for one year (assuming I make it) and resume the following year?
Thanks!
Hi question about the compulsory course information session in Arts at caulfield. Do we have to bring anything?
Hi.. i chose my units for arts.. and i havent quite filled it in for the timetables.. but i would like to swap a unit.. do i do it through wes? cos its currently down.. or is there another way?
You will modify your units via WES when it un-crashes. :)
Hi there,
If we're unable to attend the enrolment information session (for MBBS), do we need to call up or email to say we can't come?
Thanks in advance.
I think you should definitely let them know (email is best as it's good to have things in writing but if they don't respond then call them), but from memory it's no biggie! You should be able to enroll anyway :)cheers pi :)
Hi a few questions:1) I'm pretty sure you can access that page again by accessing the email that VTAC/Monash sent you or by logging onto VTAC and viewing your offer there. Take the link to the Monash Get Started page and enter your VTAC ID and your DOB and all that information should be available. Don't know if there is any other place you can access it though.
1) Apparently i have to be at Monash tommorow in building K i think? at 12pm. The page said that is where i get my id, however, the page in which this was advertised was lost while i was applying. Is there anywhere where i can confirm this? My course is Bachelor of Arts (Caulfield)
2) How long do i have till i put in my final arts unit? I am enrolled in 3 at the moment.
3) Where can i re-apply for the Monash UniStart Bursary?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi there!Hi chabooski, I think we need a little more information from you here- such as what course you will be studying. It sounds like you should enrol for your first year and choose a major, but will still have the option to change your mind. However, we would recommend calling Monash Connect on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) to talk through your enrolment process with more details. Your compulsory course information session will also provide more information on this.
On the enrolment page of WES there is a section for adding majors and extended majors etc - just wondering if, as a first year, I need to complete it? I thought we chose majors in second year, should I be deciding now? Can I enrol without filling in that section?
Do I have to put in my units before the 29th?Hi scarletmoon, if your offer letter stated that you need to enrol in your units before the 29th, then yes, that is the deadline for enrolment for your course.
Hi Monash,Hi Joseph41, we would suggest checking with Arts Student Services, however our understanding is that you can choose when you graduate- you can do it now after your Arts degree and again after your Honours year, or simply after the four year Arts (Honours) degree.
Do I need to apply to graduate?
I have now completed my Dean's Scholars Arts Program; however, I am completing Arts Honours this year. I assumed not but the emails are moderately concerning. I would prefer to graduate after my Honours year.
Thank you.
Hi,Hi shivaji, yes, for MBBS there are just two units across your first year that you need to enrol for- MED1011 and MED1022. Regarding your Bonded place, you will probably have to finalise some extra paperwork, however if you don’t have details of this now, you should be provided more information about this at your course information session.
For MBBS, is there just the two units we have to enrol for? Also, since I got the bonded program, just wondering is there a statement or some agreement we have to sign?
Thanks :D
Question about timetable in attachments.. do the % mean the chance of me getting that? If it is 0% does it mean i cannot pick it as first preference?
I'm fairly sure that means the class is x% full, just gives you an idea on how popular each timeslot is.
monash you didnt reply to my question, so here it is again:
Is it possible to double major in science (even if your in a double degree e.g. science/arts) by extending the duration of the degree?
thanks! :)
Hey everyone. I'm going into BE (Hons)/BCom this year, and was wondering if someone can take a look at my subject choices (I haven't submitted them yet). I didn't do Chemistry or Spesh in VCE. I know I have to do a foundation math subject, but is it possible for me to also do a foundation chemistry subject as well (I want to do it), even though I don't necessarily have to (I'm probably going to specialise in Civil Engineering).
Semester 1:
- Foundation Mathematics
- Engineering Design (1st of 2)
- Mobile Apps or Computing for Engineering
- Commerce subject (1st of 6). Maybe Accounting (Which accounting one should I do? What are the differences?)
Semester 2:
- Mathematics for Engineering
- Engineering Design (2nd of 2)
- Mobile Apps or Computing for Engineering
- Commerce subject (2nd of 6). Maybe Marketing.
Thanks!
Hi chabooski, I think we need a little more information from you here- such as what course you will be studying. It sounds like you should enrol for your first year and choose a major, but will still have the option to change your mind. However, we would recommend calling Monash Connect on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) to talk through your enrolment process with more details. Your compulsory course information session will also provide more information on this.
I can't speak for the rest of your subjects, but I know they've gotten rid of the Foundation Chemistry subject they used to have (they said so in our session today). So, I'm not sure if you'd be able to pick up Chem, but I don't think so.
Hi. I was wondering i could do units on another campus. E.g if im doing arts at caulfield could i do 1 unit at clayton thats offered there and not caulfield? Or vice versa?
monash you didnt reply to my question, so here it is again:Hi DeezNuts, the Science/Arts double degree structure doesn’t generally allow for a double Science major, however upon commencing your course we would advise you make an appointment with the Science Student Services course advice team, who may be able to help you find another way of reaching your goals.
Is it possible to double major in science (even if your in a double degree e.g. science/arts) by extending the duration of the degree?
thanks! :)
Hi, I'm doing a double degree in science/arts and as I understand it, you do two subjects for each degree per semester. For science, there are two areas that I'm thinking of majoring in so I was thinking that I would do both in first year and then decide in second year which one I'll major in, however, I'm pretty sure I need to do a maths unit as well and I'm not sure how I can fit that in? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!Here is a course map for your degree. Your degree probably wont end up the same, but as you can see in this example your major subjects only take up one unit per semester with the rest free to use as electives. You can take the math requirement in second year as it says there or I'm pretty sure even in third year.
Can you double major Commerce when doing a double degree?If your double degree isn't Commerce/Commerce Specialist then unfortunately you won't be able to because you won't have enough space/time to satisfy requirements for a double major (one yes but not two).
Example: Finance and Accounting?
Thanks!
If your double degree isn't Commerce/Commerce Specialist then unfortunately you won't be able to because you won't have enough space/time to satisfy requirements for a double major (one yes but not two).
Okay. Thanks. Now to choose between Finance and Accounting.
Don't worry, you still have plenty of time to decide which you want to do. Just take units that could take you to both for the first couple of years, then make a decision later.

Hi not sure whether I am late to post this as you might have already enrolled. But just wanted point out that you cannot do ENG1060 "Computing for Engineering" alone in first semester. It has a Co-requisites of ENG1091 "Mathematics for Engineering". which means if you are to do ENG1060 you either have to do it together with ENG1091 (in either first or second semester) or you have to do EN1091 in first semester and ENG1060 in second semester. hope this helps :)
Thanks for clarifying that. I ended up choosing Mobile Apps instead for my programming subject. Thanks!
No worries.. In that case would like to point out this as well. I am not so sure about this as the course structure has changed from last year. but for most engineering double degree students(pretty much for everyone) who started their course in 2015 didn't have to do Mobile apps, which means it wasn't a core unit for double degree students. I am saying this because that subjects is widely known for a hard subject. lots of students struggles in it. may or may not reflect in their result but still. unless you are reaaaally in to programming I would advice against doing Mobile apps unless you have to. So just have a look at that :)
You have to. I had a course adviser check whether my subjects were alright.
Well then may be in this new course structure, you'll have to do it. I am pretty sure double degree students who started their course last year didn't have to do it. I even had friends who didn't do it. anyway then apparently it has changed now
Yeah. It was changed this year. They also removes Chemistry I as a foundation subject.
Hey Ask Monash University,Hi sprout, check out the course maps at the bottom of this page. Your core units will depend on which specialisations you choose.
I'm just wondering what the commerce core units for commerce specialist/engineering double degree are for first year.
Thanks!
Hey! Is there a way I can see whether we need to buy the textbooks? Also, can I see a picture of the books? I need to get the Engineering Math book for ENG1090, and Microeconomics book for ECC1000. Thanks!
EDIT: Can you use older editions? Is there a way I can find this information on my own?

Are we allowed to undertake any other study alongside the MBBS (honours); was looking into Master of Bioethics, Master of Public Health or diploma of liberal arts. I understand if 1 year of the MBBS (honours) would need to be done before additional units are allowed to be added. :)

I know people (only a couple) doing the MPH alongside the MBBS(Hons), but online at a different uni. I've got to say, they're not a fan of the increased workload and one dropped out of the extra degree because it was too much.
Wait...so someone did a Masters during their undergrad? Is it like a legit masters? Because from what I understand, you have to have a completed undergrad to undertake further studies; such as a masters degree. Those online courses are cool though because you can watch lectures and stuff whenever.
What is the locker situation at the Clayton campus? I can't seem to find any information online. Thanks!There's lockers in Menzies Building as well as at Monash Sport however I don't think it's worth the time getting a locker (whether it'd save you time from getting from class to class if say you have to log yourself from Engineering Hall from Menzies and back :P)

What do you mean by 'log'? Aren't there lockers in the engineering building?Whoops sorry wrong word (probably should have written "bring" instead) but yeah there should be lockers at the Engineering Hall too (not too familiar with it since I don't need to venture over there too much) but just take into consideration the time you have between classes whether you need to go to your locker and can make it back on time (would make more sense if you had practicals if you can't bring bags in [probably somebody would have to clear this up] but I don't think it's the case with Eng/Comm if I'm not mistaken)
What is the locker situation at the Clayton campus? I can't seem to find any information online. Thanks!
What do you mean by 'log'? Aren't there lockers in the engineering building?There are lockers scattered around uni ranging in sizes depending on their purpose and there are indeed lockers in the Engineering area, specifically at 21/23 College Walk (possibly elsewhere in the area too). Out of curiosity what purpose are you looking to use them for? I only ask because at uni you are more than welcome to take your bag with you to all your classes (and most people tend to do so), so they are not a necessity like they were in school.

I'm just kind of used to having a place of my own...if you know what I mean. How would I purchase one?In last years Faculty of Engineering Survival Guide it states:
In last years Faculty of Engineering Survival Guide it states:
"Lockers located near the engineering lecture theatres in building 32 are available for use by engineering students. Select a locker and immediately attach a lock and make a note of your locker number. You must bring your own padlock to use a locker, and lockers must be emptied -by the end of November each year. (Any locks remaining in the new year will be cut off and contents disposed.) Note: it’s a good idea to use a large, strong padlock that can’t easily be removed (not a small one)."
I'd advise going to the Faculty of Engineering office anyway and querying whether this information was still correct as I was under the impression you had to fill out a form before doing so.
I just called the faculty of engineering, and they just told me to come over and put a lock of one of the lockers. That was it...I'm kinda scared to do it though...
Hey,
Where can I buy second hand textbooks? I would rather spend less on a older textbook than fork out a huge sum for new ones. Thanks
Hey,Just to add to what Joseph41 has already said, you could try Gumtree and StudentVip as well. You get students from other universities that may sell the same textbook.

I want to apply for the Monash Unistart scholarship, and in the page of this scholarship (http://www.study.monash/fees-scholarships/scholarships/find/equity-scholarships/unistart) in the commencing students application it says "The application form is currently closed and will reopen on Monday 1 February 2016" So today is that date, and i was wondering where the application was? Is it in wes or something?Hi Darth_Pepe, you should now be able to make an application for the Monash Unistart scholarship here.
Thanks in advance 8)
Hi Darth_Pepe, you should now be able to make an application for the Monash Unistart scholarship here.
Hi i am not able to apply for that for some reason. I ticked the box for yes i do qualify under financial difficulty in the section where it asks you what you want to apply for. And when i get to part 7/7, it says to select the scholarships you are eligible for and can apply for. And there are none there. Is there a scholarship phone number i can call about this?
Hey there,
I was wondering if it's possible to major in a business field if i'm taking an arts course?? Like, Arts - majoring in Management or something??
Thank-you!!
You can't. You can only major/minor in what is the listed in the hand book under arts areas.
You might be able to do some electives in business area depending on your exact degree.
I see. That's really confusing, because in WES it has this massive list with some arts majors, some business, some science etc.
Are you sure??? Should I only click the ones that have "arts" next to them??
Thaaanyan
It's ok to take units from other fields in arts degrees (or science degrees for that matter) but ultimately your major(s) has to be within that field
I am taking different units from different fields in my arts degree to try different things in my first year
Hope this helps :)
Btw out of interest what you thinking of majoring in?
I've never seen any such list of majors in WES. I have always just enrolled in individual units. Maybe the list is a thing for new students.I think it's different for arts/law, which i got as first round - it only showed arts majors on that that list. whereas with arts by itself it shows everything.

thankyou for helping me :)
all good. i just checked WES myself and realised there was an area of study selection thing. they must have added it this year because I have never seen it before.
The area of study selection thing.. is it there available for double degrees or single degrees?
it's there for both. i've seen it when i was enrolling for law/arts, and then later on when i just went for arts.it's on the enrollment summary page, where there is a table.
Thanks! Im yet to fully grasp my way around wes n all that monash stuff :o
Can you do two majors for arts in a double degree arts/law?

Hey guys kinda of a newbie question but is there anything that's compulsory in o week apart from the intro that you receive with your faculty? I mean like im pretty keen to join clubs, snatch freebies and meet new people but other than that I dont really want to drive an hour to clayton everyday on that week.
For some of my first year subjects there are no recorded lectures. So I was wondering if I wanted to hear the content of a particular lecture again, would I be allowed to attend a different lecture (than the one allocated to me on my timetable) at some other time in the week? Can anyone go to any lecture?Assuming they don't take attendance for your lectures (don't really know how this would work if they do), then you can rock up to other lectures. Since they are first year units the lectures are likely to be full, especially because they aren't recorded. I've read other people on here doing similar things so I doubt it should really be a problem.
Thanks

Thanks
You're really only supposed to got what you are allocated but in practice the lecturer likely won't know or care.
That being said though, I think there are more productive things to do than attend the same lecture twice. If take good notes and pay attention than once should be enough. You could also download the lecture slides or voice record (I'm not sure if it's allowed but the lecturer won't find out).
Do you fail the unit when you miss a hurdle requirement? I missed a quiz...It said 'pre-prac' quiz, but my prac class is tomorrow, but it closed today. It was for ENG1002, and I have emailed the unit coordinator.
Thanks.
Hey there,
Just wondering if its possible to do a major and two minors in the Arts component of Arts/Law? Can I just use the four electives in Arts to create a second minor, or would it not 'count'?
I would be wanting to major in Literary Studies and minor in Politics and Philosophy :) I'm already doing Lit and Politics but was hoping to pick up Philosophy as my first elective.
Thanks! :)

In general, yes. However, I'm guessing that all of your labs combined are a hurdle in which you need more than 50% to pass? In which case, you should be fine.
Either way, e-mailing the unit coordinator here was the right move.
BCiv (Hons) and BCom (Majoring in Finance, Minoring in Accounting (or Acturial Science))?
you can't. you do do two majors or one major with two minors or one major, one minor and 4 electives.
You only have the ability to do 16 arts unit in Arts/Law.
Wait, so you're saying I can do the major and two minors? Sorry, a little confused!
Hey, does anyone here know by any chance how to unenrol/withdraw from Monash?Hi strawberries, apologies for the delay. If you want to un-enrol from Monash, you will need to advise your managing faculty in writing. The easiest way to do this is to submit an enquiry through ask.monash .
When offers came out, I 'accepted' my offer and created an account and filled out some details but I didn't select any units. I haven't attended any of the info days/O-week and stuff as I didn't want to go to Monash anymore...I tried looking around my.monash but I'm unsure of how to 'cancel' this thing?
Thanks :)
Question about midsemester break. Is it week 4 or 5?
Hi I was wondering if we can still change our units for Semester 2 , and if so - till when can we do this? :)Hi RazzMeTazz, you are still able to change your units for Semester 2. They don’t need to be finalised until Friday, 5th August 2016, as per this link: https://www.monash.edu/students/dates/principal-dates.html
Also, for a science degree are you allowed to do level 1 subjects in the second or third year of your degree, as long as you meet the pre-requisites for that subject?
For e.g. Would I be able to study the level one CHM1022 subject in my second year , as long as I've done the CHM1011 unit before?
Question about majors. I have listed in wes that i am majoring in two things. I would like to change it to one. Is it possible to change it?Hi skinnypurpleduck, this shouldn’t be a problem unless the course you are studying has a requirement to major in two areas (i.e. if you are a studying a double degree, you may need to fulfil one major per degree). We would recommend that you speak to your faculty course advisor regarding your options and finalise your units before the Semester 1 Census Date on the 31 March, as this is when you start paying fees.
I was just wondering if theres a biomed/med version of the science student lounge?
Pretty sure there isn't on Clayton campus. Med students have lounges at every hospital though.
Can anyone go in the science lounge? It looks so peaceful...You just walk in, I haven't had anyone like ask me for ID or anything ahah
Hi. Is it possible for me to do two commerce majors? For example, Finance and Actuarial Science? I'm a first year in the BE (Hons)/BCom. Or is it only a major and a minor?Hi Orson, unfortunately there isn’t space within the double degree Engineering/Commerce to complete two commerce majors. Depending on the Engineering specialisation you choose, you can view appropriate course maps here.
Thanks!

Hi. I got a letter sometime after my offer that said I got a bursary of some kind. They said I need to wait til March for them to contact me, but they haven't. Anything I should do?
oh my god guys. I just realise that I didn't file for the SA-help thing????
and it's past the due date (the 8th). do i pay now??
does anyone know how i should pay??
really lost. does anyone else have experience with this??? please help!
I paid it (or something due on the 8th) last night through BPay, and it went through fine. Apparently its okay since its the weekend.
BPay usually takes a few business days to process. Just because you submitted the payment last night doesn't necessarily mean it will have been processed. Technically since it isn't a business day, it'll most likely get processed on Monday. I wonder if you'll be charged a late fee or something.
I was going to pay mine upfront but since i'm already nearly 30k in debt, another little bit won't hurt :P
Quick question about majors/minors at Monash!
I have a friend who completed one major and three minors in her degree at Deakin. Is it possible to do the same at Monash? I'm interested in doing either a BA or a B.Ed (Hons)/BA with a specialisation in secondary education.
Thanks :)
I've already asked this question over at this thread: Studying Arts at Monash: a guide. Figured it might be worth asking around here as well though as this thread seems a bit more active.Hi Coffee, you can complete one major and three minors as part of our straight Bachelor of Arts, view the course map here. Within the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education (Hons), you can complete one major and two minors, however won't have space for a third. View the course map here.
Hi Monash, I was just wondering if there are any theatre/performing arts scholarship options and, if so, what I would have to do to get one?
Hi, I was just wondering as how much engineering and physics overlap. And whether or not majoring in physics in a bachelor of science will allow you to study engineering in the future.
Thanks
Thanks Ask Monash University for your detailed answer,
I was also in a dilema as to which degree would give me a better job opportunity (ie. which is in more demand).
From what I know, a Science Bachelors Degree is very common and won't necessarily get someone a job. What is it like for Engineering?
Yes I have considered doing a double degree in both Science and Engineering, but job opportunities are what discourage me from doing so. For this reason I have been thinking of doing Commerce Specialist and Engineering, but I am still unsure. ???

hi! :) i know course applications are a few months away, but i've decided to apply for monash and through the monash guarantee (URS category). according to the monash website, to be eligible for the monash guarantee i'll need to apply for a VTAC scholarship and a SEAS application. i was wondering which category of SEAS id apply for, and whether i'd require supporting documentation of any sort?
thanks in advance!
I've done 1 year of a Bachelor of Computer Science / Bachelor of Science with a WAM of 71.125, and had an ATAR of 87.40. I would like to transfer into Bachelor of Engineering / Bachelor of Science which has a ATAR of around 92. I know this is highly dependent on other factors as it is a competitive process but I am wondering if I have a good chance of being accepted (or even any chance at all). I made the decision that I don't want to be doing what I am currently so I'm not sure what I will do if I don't get accepted...
When will scholarship payments be made the email I received said May and am curious when in May that will be :)Hi Heart,
Hi Heart,Yep they have thank you :)
Checking in to see if the May scholarship payments have come through, if not let us know and we'll check back for you. Or you can follow up with the scholarships department directly through submitting an ask.monash enquiry and please remember to include your Monash Student ID Number:

is it hard to transfer to commerce? Im studying another course but dont have the maths prerequisite, i just figured i want to change now, so i havent done any math units in the first semester, will doing one in the second semester suffice? I did further and got above 40 if it counts.. probably not. Anyway is it as competitive as law? Will a low distinction count? (71-73) Please help
Im pretty sure my wam will be above 70, i have been scoring HDs on my major essays. I just really want to transfer. However i havent done the maths equivalent. Can i do them as summer units? Then get in first semestre of 2017?
Applicants are expected to have a record of strong academic performance at university.
Hi Ask Monash University,
With the Accounting and Finance Leadership Program what sort of academic requirement is expected of applicants (what sort of WAM/GPA should I be aiming for to be a part of this program disregarding co-curriculars)? Generally there's some sort of mark attached (like Distinction average etc.) but in this case they've just stated:
Applicants are expected to have a record of strong academic performance at university.
Thanks!
If I revoke credit for a unit that I previously was awarded credit for after doing an internal transfer, that unit no longer is calculated towards my WAM correct? Does it also get removed from my academic transcript?
Cheers.
Hi Monash!
I was just wondering what you'd be able to tell me about the New Monash Law Pathway?
I noticed on the flyer that one of the possible categories to be eligible is living in a low 'socio-economic area' - however I was wondering if you'd be able to let me know how this is judged?
Thanks :D
Hey everyone. Someone told me that its possible to do DipLang for free given you are doing an undergrad or postgrad at Monash. Is this true? Or does it just add onto your HECS tab? Thanks!
Hi Monash,
If I were to do an overseas exchange, would it be possible to initially do a semester program but extend it to a year if I find myself wanting to stay for longer at the end of the semester? :)
Also is there often help with the funding of the exchange? I read on your website that there are certain scholarships etc. but was wondering how much they're actually given out.
Thanks!!

Hi Monash,
I am currently a first year undergraduate student completing an arts degree. I am interested in transferring into an arts/law double degree next year but am a bit confused about the steps I need to complete to change course. I know I need to maintain at least a distinction average across my subjects (which I have, at the moment), and I know I meet the prerequisites, but I'm not totally sure about who I need to talk to in order to start the transferring process, and i've found the instructions on the Monash website a bit vague :/
Any help or advice you can offer would be really great!
Thanks a lot :)
Hey!
just wondering, what would be the main differences between a Bachelor of Commerce/I.T vs a Bachelor of Business/I.T vs a bachelor of Business Specialist/I.t ? roughly what would be the contact hours of these courses (i know it depends on majors, etc. but roughly) :)
thanks! :D
Hi,A good place to look would be handbook entries for the computational science major and then the bachelor of computer science. They are really similar actually, especially if you take the extended major in computational science. The core units and math pre-reqs are basically the same as well.
Just wondering what the difference is between the computational science major in the bachelor of science as opposed to what you'd be doing in a bachelor of computer science degree?
Thanks.
Hi, pharmacy and pharmaceutical science caught my eye so I would like to know for both:
Does the course entail much math?
What is the course like? (workload, stress etc)
Does it lean towards more of the chemistry-side or the biology-side?
What are the career prospects for someone with this degree?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm looking to apply for the 2017 Juris Doctor. The website states the minimum GPAs required for full fee/CSP. However, I'm completing my undergraduate degree at Melbourne which does not provide students with a GPA but a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) instead.
Is there a way of converting between the Unimelb H1, H2A, H2B, H3 grade scales and the Monash 7 point GPA scale?

Hi there! I was wondering if i was to do a Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Marketing - would i be able to major in both HR and Management as part of the business course? (Can one major replace electives?) Thanks in advance! :D
if a course of mine is specifically in caulfield, but i wanted to go to clayton , is it possible to do all my 'units' at clayton , or is this dependent on timetables and such? (hopefully worded correctly) :)
I'm curious in the biomedical degree at monash (and especially developing an interest in biology)
Could I learn what the course will entail?
What is the course like? (workload, stress etc)
An approximate atar to get in?
What are the future career options that will arise from the completion of the degree?
Hi all,
I have a question regarding internal transfer into Monash Law. Currently studying arts and working my ass off to hopefully be able to transfer into Monash Law in 2017. I was wondering if anyone knew from personal experience or from others whether or not they take the type of unit you studied into consideration when deciding whether or not to grant entry into the course? For instance, would they take into account that 3 language units i have studied in arts may be responsible for bringing my wam up higher? Also, what wams have been achieved previously to successfully transfer?
Thank you very much all,
Lucy
Hi Monash Uni,
I was wondering whether this double degree combination can be undertaken at your University.
Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering & Bachelor of Nutrition Science.
Thanks very much!
Hi!
I applied for nursing program as an international student.
Usually how much time does it take for Monash to process application and get a respond from them?
Thank you!
I have a question about SEAS. On the SEAS calculator, it says that a maximum of five atar points can be added for disability/medical condition; however, when I have estimated my atar to be 95, with the disability and medical condition at the highest level possible, it says that my SEAS adjusted Atar is 96. If the bonus points for disability/medical condition are up to five atar points; then shouldn't the adjusted Atar be 99-99.95?not ask monash, but pretty sure there's a cap on how the bonus points the higher your atar is. does that make sense? like a 70atar could be boosted to an 80 w. SEAS but a 95 is capped so it could only go up by 1 or 2 max?

These points are added onto your combined study scores and then your ATAR is recalculated.

Hi geminii,
The Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (Honours) through the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is not available as a double degree with the Bachelor of Nutrition Science. You can view the range of available double degree combinations with Engineering at http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/prospective/ug/single-degrees/.
Students interested in both these areas of studies can consider studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Science double degree and complete Biochemistry, Chemistry and Physiology-based subjects with a focus on food and nutrition. Hope it helps!
Hey, Ask Monash U!
Was just wondering how the Diploma of Liberal Arts works?
- Is the diploma studied during the duration of a whole added one year to your course load: as in do you study an extra year of subjects solely towards this diploma?
- Are you eligible to complete this with any course at Monash (including double degrees)?
- Are there any selection criteria to fulfil?
- Does this course allow you study any of the majors/minors listed in a general Arts degree/what is the difference content-wise between this and an Arts degree (apart from the length of study)?
Thank you so much in advance! :)
Hi Monash University,
As I understand it, some courses will be moving from the Clayton campus to the Caulfield campus in the future. Will this include Law/Art degrees and when is this change expected to occur?
Thanks! :)
Thank you very much!
Say I was to complete Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace)/ Bachelor of Science (focus on Physiology), would I be able to achieve an Honours in both of them? Or do I have to pick one of them to be my Honours subject? Also, how do Majors and Minors come into this? Is one of my subjects a Major and the other one is a Minor, and can I chose which is which?
Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks again :)
Im interested in the bach of Computer Science, specialising in Data Science. I've had a look through the course structure, and ive noticed that many of the subjects werent actually offered during 2016. If i was to commence study in 2017 in this course/specializations, how would it work? If there was not enough people completing the specialization, would I not be allowed to complete it. How does that work? Im eager to study in the field and since the new Grad Diploma of Data Science requires a previous degree I have little choice.
Can you get a first round offer for Monash Arts/law with an ATAR between 90 and 97, with a very strong SEAS application without qualifying for the Monash Guarantee?Hi Scandin9,
hovering over the bachelor of business specialist, it says guaranteed monash guarantee atar is 75. however, when i look at specialisations under the lists, the clearly in atars are displayed and they're different and higher than the 75 from the monash guarantee. is this degree not actually a 75 with the monash guarantee? https://www.study.monash/courses/find-a-course/2017/business-specialist-b2003?id=429369#entry-requirements-2
link above :)
Hi Scandin9,
As the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) calculates this score at the end of the selection process, we cannot predict what it will be for this year. You can use last year’s clearly-in score of 98.00 for the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts course as a guide for the 2017 intake.
The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) works by offering bonus points of up to 20 aggregate points, or 10 ATAR points (whichever is lower) to an applicant’s achieved ATAR score. You can check out our SEAS calculator for an estimate of your adjusted ATAR.
For an indication, an applicant was offered a place in this course with an ATAR of 92.65 this year because their adjusted ATAR (after adding subject and SEAS bonusing) was above the 98.00 clearly-in ATAR.
Hi Ask Monash,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you know what was the lowest atar for second round offers in the Bachelor of Law/ Arts with a very strong SEAS Application?
Hi Monash,
Got a question about multiple exams in one day. My friend has two 3 hour exams that are only one hour apart, less if you take into consideration the time spent leaving the exam room and the requirement to arrive a little early to be seated for the next. The first exam starts at 9:30 and the second at 2:00, both also having half an hour reading time.
I thought I'd heard somewhere that under these conditions there might be some special consideration available - is this true? What options are there?
Thanks
Hi Monash,Hello Glasses,
I just had a question regarding the Arts component of the Law/Arts double degree. Basically I was wondering at what point students select their major/minor for their course? Do students complete a set number or type of subjects first (e.g. - compulsory units), or do they select their major/minor/electives at the beginning of their course?
Thanks :)
Hi Monash.
I really think my ATAR will be less than 80 or even 70 at this stage, my circumstances have been rough.
If I can't get into Monash arts, can I do an arts elsewhere and possibly transfer externally from another institution into a law course providing I have the average of 80 required. Also if I choose law electives is there more of a chance to transfer into a law course.
I'm quite scared to study law at a non go8 uni due to all the conceptions that firms only look to employ from Monash or UoM. Please clarify.
Thanks
Yeah you can. Doing law electives probably wont help.
1) They are harder than arts units. Ive done both and i can say that with arts, you just gotta learn how to write an essay and you will get HD fairly easily. Its usually the second semester where the marks increase. My first semester i just couldnt break the HD barrier and now my essays are into the 90s because of technique.
2) You might get credit but they count as leverage to get in. That is, you will still be considered equally as everyone else applying for an external application.
Hi, can I get into Law (Honours) with a 95?
Hi, i was just wondering, if my ATAR is around the 86-88 mark and i don't qualify for any special considerations, do i have a slim chance of being accepted into commerce at Monash?
The clearly in for 1st round was 90.3 but does that drop for the next few rounds or not?
Just trying to assess my options, thanks.
Hey guys!
So exams are murdering us (well, me anyway) and ATAR Day will soon be upon us. So just wondering:
I'm looking to get into Monash Undergrad Med hopefully, and I did the UMAT. I go to an under represented school, so I believe that UMAT cutoff was 175 and I made it, but just barely (I got 176, 86th percentile).
So with regards to ATAR, the requirement that the booklet shows me is 94. Would I still get an offer if I get below that, what are the chances of that happening, and if not, with what ATAR could I expect to get an offer for sure?
Thank you so much for doing this!
:)
Hey. I have a question.
I am considering going to Monash and doing a bachelor of Arts, majoring in history and Italian studies. Would I also be able to do a diploma of languages in Arabic alongside my course?
Also, if I went to another university that did not offer a Diploma of languages, would I be able to the diploma with Monash whilst attending another university?
Thank you!
Why is all the Monash branding black now instead of the good ol' Monash blue?
Hello 99.95Ez,
The clearly-in ATAR cut-off for each degree program is a statistic from the last intake to that degree. Whilst the clearly-in ATAR for the Bachelor of Commerce in 2016 was 90.3, the clearly-in ATAR for 2017 is not known until first round offers are finalised and published in January 2017. ATAR can move up or down each year depending on a number of variables such as the number and quality of applicants who apply.
If the Bachelor of Commerce is your dream course, it is still recommended that you leave this course in your VTAC preferences, but it is also recommended that you include a back-up plan in the event you are not offered a place in your dream course. An alternative option that you can consider is the Diploma of Business (stream in Commerce) offered through Monash College. The Diploma of Business can be included in your VTAC preferences.
More information can be found here: https://www.monashcollege.edu.au/courses/diplomas/business
Hope the information helps you in assessing your options.
Hi Monash,
Is it true that Monash is removing MBBS as an undergraduate course for 2018 and beyond? Does this require the UMAT?
I'm not too sure whats happening with Monash Med, but if you can describe all of the pathways from 2018 and beyond and their requirements that would be most appreciated :D
Thank You!

Hello. I would like to do a bachelor of business/bachelor of marketing and major in Business Management and complete a minor in Human Resource Management. I was looking at the units for both of these and noticed there was a crossover in some units. Does this mean i would have to do more units, or can one unit be used towards a major and a minor? (And in this case, would i get electives?) Hope this makes sense! :D
hi! next year im aspiring to study bachelor of laws/global studies (double degree). if my ATAR is below clearly in (but >90) and ive met my subject bonuses according to VTAC would i still have a chance at being offered a place?
thanks in advance :)
When will Enrolment Day usually be?
I will most likely be overseas during then and I'm freaking out over not being able to attend it (no proxy available). Are there any alternatives to finalise myWhen can I get my ID card done and finalise my enrolment after I return from overseas at around early Feb?
And also does it really matter if I miss out on the Course Info Session?
Thank you

Just curious: say I were to do a double degree in science and education (4.25 yrs), would it be possible to drop the education degree and credit the edu units to the science degree and graduate with a BSc after 3 years? (Like if I wanted to get into a post grad study like med or dentistry afterwards).
Hey monash :)
Just a question i wanted clarified about the monash guarantee process.
Take for example Law/Commerce which has an atar requirement of 94 under monash guarantee.
If i attend an under represented school, and achieve an atar of 94 or above, does this mean i will 100 % recieve an offer from vtac if Law/Commerce is my 1st preference ?
Thanks :)
Hey there AMU! How are you!?
I was wondering if you can tell me a bit about tutoring at uni. I'm really interested in becoming a tutor at MLC or becoming a demonstrator. Where would I apply for these positions?
Thanks!
Hey Monash!Hello Glasses,
I was just wondering when students will find out whether or not they are eligible for the Monash Guarantee? (Like a particular date or something)?
Thanks :)
Hi,Hi K364936,
I understand that it is a competitive process, and entry depends upon the number of applicants per year, but do you think I will be able to transfer (from b. Arts) into law/arts with a wam of 76.375? I thought this would be okay considering the requirement is a 70.
Thanks!
Hi Monash,
I was wondering what the contact hours would look like for a Science/Arts double degree :)
Thanks!
Hey monash
Is the 50-50-50 rule (UMAT) still required for Medicine? Heard rumours about it disappearing, but not sure if that's true.
Thanks :)
Hi Monash,
I was wondering if it's possible for me to enter Bachelor of Medicine and Doctor of Medicine through the direct entry pathway, when I've completed a Certificate III in Live Production & Services. It says on the brochure for the 2017 entry that: "Applicants who have commenced tertiary study (including at Certificate IV level) are ineligible for the Direct Entry program." So does that mean Certificate III level isn't a form of tertiary study?
Thank you!
Hi Monash :)
Do the scholarships that will be offered on Monday (for 98+) consider your Monash adjusted ATAR (from the Monash guarantee)? Or are they only based on your original ATAR?
Thank you :)
when will we receive an email with a link to Monash guarantee website?
Hi, have all the merit scholarship offers already come out (Monday 12 December)? Thanks!
Hi Monash,
Just wondering when we'd be contacted if our application for an accommodation scholarship was successful?
Also wondering if selection for an excellence scholarship is less likely if you're first preference is a high atar course such as the Bachelor of Science Advanced Research (95 atar)?
Thanks.
Hi,
I just finished my first year of engineering and have been allocated into the mechatronics specialisation. The thing is, I've had a change of mind and now want to study electrical engineering. Do I need to go into uni alter my enrollment and if so, is the uni still operating at normal hours (9-5)?
Thanks! :)
Hi Monash,
I received a 97.95 atar and got above a 40 for legal studies and English. Can I get into law which is a 98 with bonus points if my original atar becomes a 98 when bonus points are added?
Hey Monash,
I was just curious about how you choose the approx 40 applicants for the Monash Excellence scholarship? Is it just random or computer generated or something?
Thanks
For every course with Monash Guarantee, is SEAS considered? Thanks.
Also does the Monash Business School Scholars Program take into account SEAS? (to clarify)
Does the MBSSP take into account only ATAR? Or course being done?
Also, how do we find more info on the double degrees on this page?: https://business.monash.edu/programs/undergraduate-programs/the-monash-experience/monash-business-school-scholars-program
I remember that the requirement for this program was 99 for Commerce but the page says 98 is the minimum. How much would be a clearly-in for the courses listed?
Hi Monash,
I didnt receive the atar required to get into Commerce, so can i transfer from doing a bachelor of business at rmit to commerce at monash?? what scores would i need to be getting? and are there other requirements?
Hi Monash,
Thank you for you reply, it was very helpful! I've got one final question. Was the clearly in atar for law for international students 95 last year? Is it always lower for international students compared to domestic students?
Many thanks :)
Hi Monash,Hi amandex,
I didnt receive the atar required to get into Commerce, so can i transfer from doing a bachelor of business at rmit to commerce at monash?? what scores would i need to be getting? and are there other requirements?
I was wondering if someone can give me information on any suggestions on the following courses: Bachelor of Commerce/Computer Science and Bachelor of Commerce/Biomedicine.
My main questiosn include: What types of future/career do both courses offer? Which one would have more jobs?
can someone transfer from 1st year science to 2nd year biomed the follwoing year? Or do they need to go through biomed 1st year?
Hey guys!
I just have a question on course transfer in university. I don't know if this is true but I heard that you can transfer to a harder course ( eg Law) to an relatively easier course ( Eg Arts) but it would be harder to transfer from an easier course to a harder one. This is because I'm interested in Nutrition Science ( Scholars) but at the same time my atar score allows me to apply for biomedicine.
Hello, I've just finished VCE and have gotten an ATAR result of 92.50, having the study score of:
- Biology: 40
- English: 39
- Math Methods: 36
I have put radiography as a first preference I just wanted to ask about how the interview process is conducted as well as the chances that I will get into the course. Please give me any tips, THANK YOU! :)
Hi Monash, what're the subject preqs for software engineering?
Hi,
I had a look at the course structure on your website for a double degree in Laws and Arts, and saw that the last 3 semesters are pure law.
I was planning on majoring in Psychology as a part of my Arts degree, and continuing it into Honours and onwards in order to be qualified as a psychologist, if I liked undergrad psych.
If I continued on with psych into Honours, does that mean I'd have to give up the whole law degree? Or would I continue on with the psych Honours and other postgraduate studies after finishing those last 3 semesters of law?
Thanks!! Sorry if this is confusing.. I'm just trying to sort out everything before change of preferences close!! :-[
What are the chances of getting into Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Master of Advanced Engineering with an ATAR of 95.05 since it's the first year of the course?

Hi Monash,
When can we expect to receive an equity scholarship? I applied through VTAC, is this all I had to do? I'm worried I've missed something and might not receive one. :-\
Thanks.
Hello The Usual Student,
Monash Bachelor of Science students can apply for an internal course transfer into the Bachelor of Biomedical Science after at least one year of full-time study. An applicant must aim for at least a 70% average and ensure all Biomedical Science prerequisites are satisfied: Chemistry and Higher Level Mathematics or Physics (Australian Year 12 equivalent).
In the event that an internal course transfer is successful, you can also submit an application for credit transfer. The amount of credit granted will be at the discretion of the relevant faculty and will not automatically allow for progression into the second year of your preferred course. Credit applications are assessed individually and on a case-by-case basis.
Hope the info helps. :)
What's the likelihood of getting an offer if you are 0.9 below the clearly in arts course @ caulfield?
HI Monash
I was just really confused about the law pathways such as the commerce law pathway. I have put it in as one of my preferences and meet all the requirements but I'm confused as to what you gain after completing it. Do you actually get a double degree on commerce and law or do you get entrance in to law after three years
Thanks
Hi, is it possible to get a scholarship with a 95 atar at Monash? If so, for which course? Thanks
Hi Ask Monash!
Was just wondering how the application process/timeline works for Graduate-Entry Medicine at Monash from a Biomedical Science double degree?
Are you only eligible to apply for Grad-Med in 4th year after you've completed all the listed BiomedSci pre-requisite core subjects?
Thank you very much in advance!
:-)
Hi Monash!
I was wondering what are the chances of getting an offer for on campus residency for 2017 if I applied right now? I'm thinking about applying at howitt hall.
Thanks :)
Hello,
I want to get into Engineering and Commerce (92.40 Atar) but im 0.3 off (i received a 92.10 Atar). I also got a 25+ study score for specialists maths, physics and chemistry which would be a total of 5 subject bonus points added (making my atar 94), so would that mean i will be above the 2016 clearly in atar and be offered a place (if the clear in atar does not change for 2017)?
Thanks
Thanks!
One follow up question,
So if I did methods and chemistry in yr 12,
Do I still have to take any specific units in order to transfer into biomed? Like assume chemistry is a unit I must take.
Hello Ask Monash University!
I'm interested in studying biomedicine next year:
- Is it possible to take "gap years" during university courses. I just don't want to take it now , but I might in the future
Thank you!
Does the engineering excellence scholarship apply to law/engineering double degree? Considering that the managing faculty is Law and the engineering faculty is only the partner.
Thanks

Hey Monash Univeristy!
I understand there is a garunteed pathway into medicine via biomedicine which does not require the GAMSAT
My questions is, If I was to transfer into bachelors or biomedicine mid yearly and complete my degree, will I be eligible for this pathway?
It states that the student must undergo 1st year biomedicine but if I do only the second semester is that still ok?
Also it states GENERALLY? So does that mean it won't always be upheld?
Hey monash uni :) !!
just wondering is there a way to find out if an individual will receive a scholarship?Like is there a way to find out if we will be getting one ?
Also whats the last date for scholarships to be handed out by ?
Thanks :)
Hi Monash!
I got an accomodation offer for the Urban Community, could you please tell me how the room selection works? Someone at my school said that we don't actually get to pick our rooms (only 2nd/3rd year uni students do). Could you please clarify this for me? :D
Thanks heaps
Hi monash
if i do commerce at deakin am i able to transfer to bach commerce at monash dring the first semester/ during the year? instead of doing a whole year/ also what scores will need to be getting?
Hey,
Wondering if I were to do bachelor of science and Monash, will I be able to transfer into biomedical science in The same year without having to repeat the year. Also if I were to not be offered I spot in medicine for Monash will I be able to apply at other universities via gamsat. Thanks
Hey,
I only managed to get a raw 24 for English Language, with an atar of ~73, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do, or anyway it would be possible for me to get into either the diploma or bachelor of science. If it makes any difference, I was eligible for the Monash guarantee.
Please help.

The Monash Biomedical Science degree is great preparation for not only Monash's Graduate Entry Medicine program but all other Graduate Medicine programs in Australia (which may still have a GAMSAT requirement). It is recommended that you check the requirements directly with other institutions that offer medicine to determine their selection requirements.

Hey, I'm interested in doing Finance at Clayton Campus however there isn't much information on it since it may be a new course. Would what be the ATAR requirement/subject prerequisites be for that course? Would it need a higher ATAR than Bachelor of Commerce? I'm asking because I received a score of 86 and getting into Commerce will already be difficult, so I'm not sure if I should put Finance on my preference list. Thanks

Hello !
I'm interested in doing biomedicine next year, but also thinking about doing postgraduate degree once I've finished the course.
I know that my first degree is supported by HECs - Help ( is this right?) but how about my postgraduate degree? Really confused with all this student loans stuff.
Thank you!
Just quietly, this thread is absolutely tops. What a fantastic resource.
Thanks for making yourselves available, Ask Monash University.
Hi Monash!
What is the shortest possible path Bachelor of Science students can take to transfer into the Bachelor of Biomedicine then eventually into graduate medicine?
Thanks !!!
Hi Yxxl,
The recommended pathway into our graduate-entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine program would be to complete the three year Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash University. This will make you eligible to apply for one of 75 places in our graduate-entry medicine course, with 50 places reserved only for Monash Biomedical Science graduates.
If you choose to study the 3 year Bachelor of Science at Monash University, you will only be eligible to apply for one of 25 places in the graduate-entry medicine program. You must complete this course to be eligible to apply for medicine. You will still only be eligible for one of 25 places if you choose to transfer from Science into Biomedical Science, unless you choose to complete the 3 year Bachelor of Biomedical Science course from the beginning, including all the core biomedical science units. Please read the FAQ (http://med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/documents/grad-entry-medicine-faq-mar-2016.pdf) which will explain the conditions if you choose to transfer from Science into Biomedical Science for entry into Medicine.
You can read more about these requirements at http://med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/grad-entry/2017-entry.html.
You can also contact Monash Connect on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) if you have further queries. Hope the info helps.
Hi Monash,
It's urgent.
I've got some questions. Firstly, is it possible to switch out of a course after you start? I'm thinking of doing the Bachelor of Science Adv. (Honours) but am not sure if it really the one for me. So if I don't like it after, say, the first year, can I switch out to the Bachelor of Engineering or Computer Science? Secondly, can I take a break mid-course? I'm thinking of going on a long vacation in my first year (~1 month). Can I be accommodated? Thirdly, are scholarships available for those going into Science courses, or, more specifically, the Adv. (Honours) degree, and how do we find out if we've been offered one? Fourthly, where can I find the term dates for next year, like when the semesters start/end? Also, is it in any way possible to do another degree alongside the Bachelor of Science Adv. (Honours), in a sort of double degree? I'm thinking of doing a Bachelor of Comp Sci alongside it.
Thank you so much!!
Hi, I've sent in my Honours acceptance message via ask.Monash as per instructions last week but have not received a response yet. The expiry date for accepting the offer is 21st Dec. Should I re-send my response? Or wait another day? Thank you :)
Hi monash
Is biomedical science scholars program the exact same course as biomedical science. Are we forced to do any research component in the scholars program? Can we run the scholars program exactly the same as the regular degree or is their any compulsory research unit?
Hi,Hello thenerdygangster,
So I was just wondering if it was better to do a double degree with BBmedSc/BEng(Hons) or a single Bachelor Biomed degree. I'm looking to hopefully get into the Graduate entry for med but if that doesn't turn out (with Monash and other universities offering graduate entry med) then I was looking to pursue a career in Biomedical engineering. I just wanted to know which was the 'safer' option (for a lack of a better word). Is a strong mathematical background essential for biomed. engineering?
Also, how does the credit system work? (Stupid question I know) Say for a unit that has 6 credit points, do we get all 6 points as long as we pass the unit?
Thanks :)
Follow up question: So if I choose to transfer from the Bachelor of Science to the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, can I choose to start the Bachelor of Biomedical Science from the beginning? Further, will doing this make me eligible for the 50 guaranteed places for biomed students in the graduate medical program?
Thank you for your responses!!
My UMAT was 96 and my ATAR was 99.15, what are my chances of getting into undergrad med with a good interview
Hey, so I was wondering if I were to do a Bachleor of science or bachelor of commerce first year, then wanted to transfer into a double degree with either science and biomedical science or commerce and biomedical science, would I be able to finish the double in 4 years, including the first year of science.
Thanks

Hi! I was wondering what the process was like to get permission to do a unit from the unit coordinator, and how strict the granting of permission is? There's a couple of units I would like to do in second year but it's looking like I cannot satisfy the prerequisites in first year as there's some other units I have my eye on that can only be done in first year.
Anyone can chime in if they have any info that could help! Thanks.
Hey,
I've qualified for a guaranteed offer for Monash law and science double degree. However, I also have a keen interest for commerce and therefore was wondering if I could start off with the double degree, and have the space to do electives (single unit commerce subjects if possible). From there ill decide which I prefer more, and choose accordingly.

Greetings!Hi Knarf,
I'm just wondering for the BMedSci+MD course next year do students have any exchange opportunity with universities in other countries during the five years?
I've emailed Monash multiple times with this question and still haven't been given an answer. Basically, I will be on a cruise from 13-25 Jan and may not have access to wifi to check my round 1 offers. I need to know if I need to organise for someone else to enrol for me if the enrolement date is before the 25th Jan? Thank you
Hi Ask Monash University,
If I were to receive an offer in a course from Monash in the first round and accept it, would it still be possible to get a second round offer in another Monash course (if I shifted its preference to #1)
Would I have to reject the first round offer to be eligible for the second round offer?
Hi Ask Monash University,
I recently received an email from the Faculty of Arts saying:
We are currently assessing your application and require either original or certified hard copies of the below documents to further assess your application:
- Transcript of studies for your Diploma verifying you have completed and your grades
I'm not sure what transcript they are referring to. I just graduated Year 12 so I don't know if that's the diploma?
Thank you!
Hello ,
I would like to know about transfers to Monash Uni Clayton if I am coming from another uni like RMIT
If I was to study applied sciences at RMIT , what streams would i take at rmit ?? (appplied chem or applied science) to be able to transfer to Monash science
If we didnt get any credit would i still be able to trasnfer ?? we just need that 60% pass right??
Would mid year transfers or end years transfers be available ??
Thank you for any help

Hi Nathan,
You're encouraged to choose the stream of most interest to you. Students can apply to transfer from another university’s science-related degree into Monash Science. Entry will be determined by a number of factors, including your Year 12 result, the grades achieved in your tertiary study (60% or higher), and the duration of that study.
Mid-year entry is usually available for our Bachelor of Science, although this is most suitable if you have commenced tertiary studies in Science. Selection is a competitive process and will be based on academic performance.
Hi guys,
I don't know if this is the right thread to post this, but I plan on doing medicine in the near future. However, as UMAT didnt work out, I have chosen to do Monash biomed (for which I received a 1st round offer). I dont know if the new pathway into med from biomed is underway yet, but i just wanted to know how hard one would gage it to be. I've been told by many that it is extremely competitive (which i understand), but others have gone as far as saying that the environment is sometimes "toxic". Whilst I would like to go to Monash (as its a v.good uni and close to home), I also just want to put myself in a position where I can achieve my dream of medicine (hard, I know). I also received an offer from UTAS for medical research which is apparently less competitive, but i'll have to sit the dreaded UMAT again. Should I consider this pathway? How have you guys found Monash biomed and what path would you recommend?
Thanks!
Hi iTry,
First up, congratulations on completing year 12 and receiving an offer for the Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash.
Here's some thoughts for you from our team:
Biomedical Science pathway into Medicine is currently in place and is the recommended pathway into the graduate-entry medicine course at Monash University. It is definitely very competitive to enter a graduate-entry medicine program, although we reserve 50 places in this course for Monash Biomedical Science graduates only, and the remaining 25 places for Monash graduates from specified degrees only.
As a guide, students who applied in 2016 for the 2018 intake through the Biomedical Science pathway required a clearly in Average Mark (AM) of 79.89, taken from all year 1 and 2 Bachelor of Biomedical Science core units, to be offered the opportunity to undertake an interview and Situational Judgement Test (SJT) for the graduate-entry medicine course.
On the other hand, the clearly in WAM for interviews for applicants who applied in 2016 for the 2017 intake into the graduate entry medicine program was 81.39. This included applicants who had completed their Biomedical Science, Physiotherapy, Pharmacy or Science degree at Monash University and were competing for one of 25 places in the course.
Hope this helps a little with your decision. :)
Hi there,
I am interested in doing Biomedical Science at Monash this year. If I have an planning to do graduate medicine in the future, what electives do you guys recommend me to do? From the monash website I know that I can only choose electives starting with the prefixes BCH, BME, DEV, GEN, HUP, IMM, MIC, MIS, PHA and PHY. From the atar notes forum, I know that CHM 1011 and CHM 1022 is recommended. Is there any other electives that are popular among aspiring graduate medical students?
2. Do biomedical students have to take electives ( Monash)?
3. Can biomedical students major/ minor in certain units
Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Thanks! :)
Hi Esthertham,
Students who are studying the Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash will need to successfully complete all the core Biomedical Science units to be eligible to apply for our graduate-entry medical program. Only results from these core units will be used to calculate the Average Mark (AM) to rank applicants for an interview through the Biomedical Science pathway. Your elective unit choice will not influence your eligibility for an interview under this pathway.
However, applicants applying for the additional 25 places in the graduate-entry medicine program will have their Weighted Average Mark (WAM) applied across units completed to rank students for an interview. Thus the results you achieve in your elective units will be taken into consideration.
You can read more about the Biomedical Science pathway into medicine and the requirements at: http://med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/grad-entry/bms-pathway-applications.html
As part of the course structure of the Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash University, all biomedical science students will have room to choose up to 48 credit points of electives (8 standard units). You can choose further units in a biomedical science related discipline, or units from other faculties. You can even choose to focus all your electives in certain disciplines if you wish (speak to a course advisor about this).
Hope this helps! :)

, although this is most suitable if you have commenced tertiary studies in Science. Se
Does this mean If I start my first year with a science course?
So mid year transfer wont look at my yr12 results ?
And thank you for the info before .
hi :) is it possible to study level 2 units as a first year (second semester) provided that i have satisfied the pre-requisites?
Yes, definitely. For example, many students who wish to continue their VCE/ high school equivalent LOTE language, can generally get into level 2 language units straight away, There's no problem if you've satisfied the pre-reqs. Just talk to your managing faculty student services to confirm this (just in case) and enrol you into the one you want! :)
hi :) is it possible to study level 2 units as a first year (second semester) provided that i have satisfied the pre-requisites?
Hi lyoko,
The Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging only has one intake available each year, and because of this, transfer mid-year is not possible. One pathway is to complete at least one year full time of an alternative Bachelor degree and achieve an average of at least 70% to be considered for an interview. As selection is a competitive process, a higher average may be required to be shortlisted. Prerequisites of English, higher level mathematics and either Physics or Biology at Australian Year 12 equivalent or tertiary level must be met. There are no recommended degrees, although a degree in a similar field is recommended if you had satisfied the prerequisites through high school. You can read more about the selection criteria at http://www.med.monash.edu.au/radiography/prospective-students-undergraduate.html (will be updated later this year for the 2018 intake).
Hi,
I am interested in the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging Degree (Honours) at Monash and was wondering that if I was unable to obtain a position in the course, due to extensive number of applications, what other courses could I do which are similar to the course in terms of units in order to transfer to the course mid-year? Would the 'Bachelor of Science' at Monash be okay?
Thanks
Hi Monash,There's no clearly in atar as they look at your interview as well
Thank-you for your response. Sorry, another question I have is what is the clear-in ATAR for this course? This is as I was unable to find details on either your website nor the student handbook.
Thanks
Hi! Can I do a first year unit in second year?BackstoryI'm a little interested in atmospheric science, but have no idea if I want to major in it. I like to stay safe with my options so I'm doing Earth, Atmosphere and Environment I&II, Biology I&II. However with the Bachelor of Science I need to do a math. I dropped methods after yr 11 and did well in further in 12. Atmospheric science requires MTH1030 Techniques for modelling and MTH2010 Multivariable calculus in second year. My issue is that since I was bad at pre-calculus I'll need to catch up with the units MTH1020 Analysis of change and MTH1010 Functions and their applications. However I think it makes more sense to do them sequentially to ease into calculus and not both in the same first semester whilst taking MTH 1030 in second semester.VisualCan I.. do.. this ;_;
This is just an example of majors (atmospheric and plant science.. I don't know what I want to do :'} (http://image.prntscr.com/image/29e45c77109142418383089579d12901.png)
//edit: I know each year is subject to change but I'm uncomfortable having three spare electives.. if I wanted to do two 8 unit majors and these math it only leaves three! Do people use these to just have some fun?
Also by chance did anyone do the biology bridging course that was introduced last year? I'm planning on doing it this year and I was just wondering if anyone had anything to say about it. Thanks ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

Hey,
I was wondering if I can fulfil the methods prerequisite for commerce in my first year of my law degree
There's no clearly in atar as they look at your interview as well
Hi Iyoko,
There is no Clearly-in ATAR for the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours). Selection for admission into this course is based on a range-of-criteria, including ATAR and Multiple-Mini-Interview (MMI) performance. Only those applicants who are shortlisted and attend an interview will be eligible for selection into the degree.
Hello Monash Uni!
I'll be doing the UMAT this year in order to get into your Undergraduate Medicine Course in 2018. I was wondering whether there was a percentile cutoff for the UMAT in order to be considered for an interview?
Also, what is the minimum or recommended ATAR to get an interview for this course?
Thank you so much! :)
Hi Monash Uni :D
I was wondering if I can choose Physics as an elective in the Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine course. Also do you have electives in the course ahaha
Thanks ;D
Hello!!The uni equivalent of maths methods is MTH1010 at monash. Theoretically neither should be easier or harder. The content will be 80%+ similar but teaching styles/assessment will differ.
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
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.I don't think you need to overload for com/eng @ monash. Overloading is only the case if you haven't done spec AND physics at a VCE level. Thus requiring 2 foundation units. However this is overloading only for 1 semester.
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.
HelloI don't know anything about course transfers so I'll leave it to Monash to answer.
When can i apply for a mid year transfer to monash science s2000 ?
Is it better to do it earlier ?
And can you please list the subjects of first sem s2000 study so I can choose similar ones for my current uni
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 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 :)
bump :)
*A minimum of 5 of the following units must be completed within the Bachelor of Science degree to be eligible for Graduate Entry Medicine: BCH2011, Structure and function of cellular biomolecules; BCH2022: Metabolic basis of human diseases; DEV2011: Early human development from cells to tissues; DEV2022: Principles of organ and body design; GEN2052: Genomics and population genetics; IMM2011: Basic immunology: The body’s defence system; IMM2022: Immunology in health and disease; MIC2011 Introduction to microbiology and microbial biotechnology; MIC2022: Microbes of health and disease; *MOL2011: Molecular Biology: Genes and their expression; MOL2022: Molecular biology: gene technology and its application; PHA2022: Drugs and society; PHY2011: Neuroscience of sensory and control systems in the body; PHY2032: Endocrine control systems; PHY2042: Body systems physiology.~ Monash Uni

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!
:,) 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 :D
Hey, beverlycheese! :)
I can confirm that Linguistics at Monash is outstanding. ;D
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. :)
Thank you so much : D
Yep I want to major in both anthropology and a language but I'm not sure if the clearly in atar for double degrees are still 81 or 86 :,)
Could you kinda explain what you study in linguistics? : D
Thank you so much :,)
You can study both anthropology and a language as part of a Bachelor of Arts (i.e. a single degree). Within that single degree, you can double major (so have two primary areas of study). If you're interested in a double degree, what else would you be thinking of studying? So like, Science, Laws, Commerce?
And sure! You can see my review of the Linguistics major right here. ;D

Hi! Does Monash Uni offer Speech Pathology as a course? If so, are there any VCE subject prereqs? ThanksHi Wota :)
I am thinking about a double arts degree of anthropology and linguistics... is that possible? Or even a double science (biology) /arts degree.. the problem is I don't take any math at all and the only science subject I'm taking is biology :-\ :-\
I'm not entirely sure, but I think under a single Bachelor of Arts, beverlycheeeee would be able to do an anthropology major, linguistics major, and still have room to do 2 language minors (or anthro major, lang major, ling minor, lang minor)? 8 units for anthropology, 8 units for linguistics or language, leaving another 8 in year 1 and 2 according to the map, unless I'm misinterpreting it or forgetting a detail/rule. If my interpretation is correct, studying anthropology, linguistics, Japanese, and Korean in one degree is possible!
As a side comment, I'm doing first year linguistics (hopefully to carry through as a major) at the moment and can vouch that it is enjoyable so far. Also doing introductory Korean (probably will minor in it) and finding it fun too. Staff in both areas are superb. Since you've done KSL though, you have to take a test and it will likely make you follow the intermediate Korean stream if you wish to do Korean studies (details on this is located on the Korean studies handbook entry). In that case you'd be taking 'culture' units in first year for Korean instead of actual language units.
Hey beverlycheeeee!It is kinda confusing ;u; so basically I have three majors if I do a science degree and 2 majors in art degrees? But wouldn't the ATAR requirment be like really high?
Yep, absolutely possible. :) In fact, you could theoretically undertake a double degree in Arts and Science - and then, within that Arts degree, double major in both Anthropology and Linguistics.
The terminology is a bit confusing and I appreciate that it's difficult to really get the structure until you need to, so keep asking questions. :)
Hi Monash,
I've recently been informed that the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging course has changed it's entrance structure. This will now be only ATAR Specific as well as prerequisites. Does this mean that if I am able to obtain an ATAR over the clear in ATAR that I am eligible to be get into the course?
Thanks
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
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! Does Monash Uni offer Speech Pathology as a course? If so, are there any VCE subject prereqs? Thanks
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.

Ashwin
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 :)
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
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 :)

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 Monash,In terms of course differences, I believe the Bachelor of Biomedical Science Advanced requires you to complete 2 research project electives in place of 2 free electives you would normally have in the Bachelor of Biomedical Science. I believe that Advanced students are also invited to take part in a high achievers program of sorts - although I'm not exactly sure what's offered in this program (extracurricular activities/opportunities?).
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!In terms of doing Medicine at Monash, 50 of the 75 domestic places offered in the grad med program at Monash are reserved for Biomedical Science graduates only. No such advantage exists for other universities though (for Monash grads anyway). I guess the Biomedical Science course will also complement the foundation studies you do in the first year of the MD. Other job prospects include research, lab assistant, government health programs. This is by no means a comprehensive list - Biomed graduates can go on to work in health statistics, pharmaceutical companies, etc. Monash also offers accelerated entry for Biomed graduates into their pharmacy program.
What are the benefits of doing Biomedical Science as a pathway to Medicine, and if one can not enter through Postgrad, what other options and employment options are there?
Also, what are the benefits of doing Pharmacy as a pathway to Medicine?
Thank You
Thanks for replying to my question, Monash!An Honours title generally requires a research/project component. The Engineering (Honours) degree at Monash includes a research/project component (I believe it's compulsory?) towards the end of the degree. This is not included/required in the Biomedical Science degree, and so therefore you will need to do a separate honours year to gain a Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours) award.
I also have three more:
If I were to do a double degree of Engineering/Biomedicine, could I receive the Honours for Biomed rather than Engineering? It seems on your website you've only given the option of 'Engineering (Honours) and Biomedicine'. What about 'Engineering and Biomedicine (Honours)'?
Hi Monash,This might be a bit late, but I believe the outcome arrives within 2 weeks of the Semester 1 results release date (July 10) i.e. before semester 2 begins on July 24.
I have applied to transfer from my current university to Monash for undergraduate Business degree commencing semester 2.
I am still awaiting a response as to whether my application was successful or not.
Do you know when offers are sent for semester 2 intake?
Thank you!
Hi thereHey there!
What are the difference between bachelor of pharmacy and bachelor of pharmaceutical science? What are the benefits of doing either one of them?
Hey there!
I actually do Pharmaceutical Science currently and can give a bit of insight! :)
Pharmaceutical science is more lab-based* than pharmacy, where you spend quite a bit of your class time in a lab, learning the basic (and more complex) lab techniques that are need to work in the pharmaceutical industry. You ultimately learn about how medicines are made- from design to manufacture, including pharmacology. The degree can be taken as a standalone degree (3 years (or 4 years, with honours)) or combined with engineering (chemical engineering) (5 years), and not only focuses on the research done on campus, but focuses on the production of medicines (as I've probably said a million times by now haha). This degree also has the benefit of 3 different specialisations- medicinal chemistry (the techniques behind drug discovery and development), formulation science (the making of pharmaceuticals), and drug discovery biology (the understanding and discovery of drugs and their targets).
Pharmacy is more to do with training to be a pharmacist and is a five year course, as it combines both a bachelor's degree + honours and a master's degree. After doing this degree, you become a qualified pharmacist, registered with the Australian Pharmacy Council. A benefit of doing pharm is that most pharmacies take interns from all year levels, so you can earn some $$$ whilst practicing what you learn in classes. I also do know that it is possible to do the course abroad (Malaysia) for a semester (or year, I can't remember). :)
*based on opinion and inspection of both courses.
Hope this helps a little! :)
Hey Monash!!!
I as just wondering about basically everything about nursing and midwifery. Like, if I wanted to do nursing and after lets say 6 years go into midwifery, would I still be eligible?
- If I did nursing at a different uni, can I still transfer into midwifery @ monash when I am done? (Melbourne uni and RMIT only offer nursing, and they are much closer to where I live, so it would be great if I can transfer for midwifery at Monash later on)
Also, how many subjects would I have to do?
Hey There!
I am really passionate about doing Pharmacy as a profession and I have been looking at the Bachelor/ Masters of Pharmacy course at Monash Parkville. I am just worried that I won't get the ATAR that I need. I talked to a representative and they said that if I started a pharmacy course at another uni and then transferred to Monash, I would have to start the course all over again as I won't get any credits for the things that I have already done. I did unit 3/4 Bio and Chem last year and didn't do well as I expected. I am doing Methods, English and HHD currently and am doing alright. What shall I do to increase my chances of acceptance in the first round offers?
Thanks

Hey Monash, i was just wondering if its possible to do multiple summer/winter units within the one summer unit term or winter unit term? if so, how do i get more information about this topic? thank you
HiMonash
I applied for 1st year Mid sem Science and I know it says 60% average for entrance consideration. I got a PASS grade for one of my classes at a different institution but 2 Distinctions and a credit. I'm feeling so down I thought because I wanted to make it into this course. Should I still continue to provide my documentation to Monash Connect ? honestly speaking, they probably won't even look at my application now that I haven't met the requirements right? and that there will be many more kids who have HDs and that will accepted. :( So sad
Btw about academic transcripts , Do we have to buy them from the uni ? Can we just screen shot the results from online?
Thanks guys

Hi Monash,
I have applied to transfer from my current university to Monash for undergraduate Business degree commencing semester 2.
I am still awaiting a response as to whether my application was successful or not.
Do you know when offers are sent for semester 2 intake?
Thank you!
Thanks for replying to my question, Monash!
I also have three more:
If I were to do a double degree of Engineering/Biomedicine, could I receive the Honours for Biomed rather than Engineering? It seems on your website you've only given the option of 'Engineering (Honours) and Biomedicine'. What about 'Engineering and Biomedicine (Honours)'?
Also, can I do a double degree in Engineering & Biomedicine where the Engineering Speciality is Aerospace Engineering? I was looking at your website and I saw this (picture attached - it also shows what I meant in my first question) where there were multiple options, but no mention of Aerospace as a possibility of being in a double degree with Biomed. It would be awesome if you could clear this up!
My third question is, if I wanted to do both a Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace) and a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics), how would that work? Could I do a double degree of Engineering (Aerospace)/Engineering (Mechatronics) or is this not possible?
Thanks heaps :)

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!
Hi Monash!
What are the benefits of doing Biomedical Science as a pathway to Medicine, and if one can not enter through Postgrad, what other options and employment options are there?
Also, what are the benefits of doing Pharmacy as a pathway to Medicine?
Thank You

Hi Iyoko,
The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) adjusts your aggregate score, which in turn adjusts your ATAR. This SEAS-adjusted ATAR will be used during the selection process and be used against the Clearly-in ATAR for that intake, not the lower Monash Guarantee ATAR. You can read more about SEAS at https://www.study.monash/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/special-entry-access-scheme.
However, if you attend a Monash listed under-represented school, you will be eligible to apply for entry under the Monash Guarantee. This means that if you successfully complete year 12 and achieve an ATAR of 88, satisfy the course prerequisites (English, higher level mathematics and one of either biology of physics at Year 12 level) for the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours), you will be eligible for a place in the course.
Please note, you must submit a Special Entry Access Scheme application through VTAC with your course application to be considered. For further information, please visit: https://www.study.monash/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/the-monash-guarantee and download the Monash Guarantee and SEAS brochure.
Apologies for the delay in coming back to you - hope this latest piece of the puzzle helps a little more. :)

Hey! Whilst I'm not 100% sure about the job market (I mean there's 100s (if not more) of companies that need pharmaceutical scientists/researchers), however some of the careers that you could do with the PharmSci degree are:
- Analytical/forensic chemist
- Biotechnologist
- Cell biologist
- Clinical trial researcher
- Comestic chemist
- Drug analyst
- Formulation chemist
- Industry consultant
- Medicinal chemist
- Nanotechnologist
- Pharmaceutical scientist
- Pharmacologist
- Validation chemist
(Some of these may require some further training, but these are only a few of many possible careers)
You could also work for private companies (L'Oreal, GlaxoSmithKline, Dulux), research labs (such as the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical sciences), not-for-profits (such as the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute), and the government (such as CSRIO, or the department of health). :)
Hope this helps! :)

Hi,
On the Monash Uni website for the course Undergraduate Medicine, Mathematical Methods is not a pre requisite. However, does doing mathematical methods have any effect on your chances of getting into medicine?. As I have seen whoever has gotten into medicine at Monash has done mathematical methods. I have also asked Monash Uni representatives at career expos and they have replied with saying Mathematical methods has absolutely no effect on your chances for medicine. I was wondering if you could maybe elaborate more on this or maybe let me know if you do know some people who have gotten into undergraduate medicine at Monash without doing Mathematical methods, I am not asking for their contacts or names but just a rough number of people who have gotten into the course without mathematical methods.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have applied for Graduate Medicine at Monash as an international student who doesn't complete my undergraduate degree at Monash. I would like to ask whether Monash uses wGPA or WAM to give out interview offer? And roughly when the interview offer will come out?
Thank you very much
Is the 50-50-50 rule still applicable for 2018 potential med students?

Hi Monash! I want to do a double degree with teaching and arts. Is it true I can turn my four electives into a minor? Also, how much is the language diploma and what does it mean when we study it 'co-currently'? So is it overload?
Hi monash
I was just wondering if anyone has done the intensive summer program in Monash Parkville for the graduate entry for Pharmacy? Or if anyone can tell me what is covered during those 4 weeks?
Hi, what's the difference between Computer Science and Information Technology?I signed up for Comp Sci because it looked like a better version of IT, and there are better job offers, what do you guys suggest - should I switch to IT, or stick with Comp Sci?
I'm currently doing a double degree with Computer Science and thought that it was about learning programming etc. Looks like Comp Sci is more into looking at algorithms and sorting and not specifically focused on the programming... FYI: I am not bad at maths, did Methods and Further in VCE. I understand CompSci requires more maths...

Hi, Just wanted to ask that how good is your masters in Data science program. By that i mean is i did my B.Sc in mechanical engineering and since the field of data interests me i wanted to pursue a Masters in Data science at Monash. I will choose the 2 year program and so the main aim of my question is to find out that after 2 years how profficient does your courses makes it students so how much is my employability chance considering that im in the top 10 percentile of the class. Furthermore approximately how many students graduating in Class of 2016 (Masters Data science) have received a job or are pursuing further education Thanks
Hi Monash,
Am I allowed to complete more units than required for my course?
For example, if I was to do CHM2990 over the summer semester, would I have to under load by one unit in my second or third year? Or could I take the regular amount of units, having done one more unit than required for my degree?

Hi Monash,
How can year 12 students apply for Monash Guarantee?
Thanks :)
1. I live like about an hour's train ride away from monash, will that impact heavily do you think on hvaing spare time to do stuff like going to the gym and working a part time job?
2. For scholarships like the monash scholarship for above 98 and the it scholarship, do you need to submit any separate application other than just applyiing on vtac for the course
Hi monash,
has anyone here transferred from their previous course into monash pharmacy?
I want to transfer and I am studying in monash now doing s2000, and want to apply for P6001
It's the new course so this will be the first batch of transfer students i guess so it will be extremely competive
The 70% average applies for entry but there is no credit , correct?
Also for transfers, am I competing with university transfer students AND highschool students or just the uni transfer kids???
Does that mean i throw away my current studies?
im like probs gonna pply to monash next year and was leaning towards commerce and computer science double degree and havea few questions in general about monash lifestyle?

3. For exchanges, are you limited to the exchange partners on the website or is it common for students to find their own exchange opportunities
4. How competitive is entry into the Industry Based Learning Program? If your averaging pretty good grades are you pretty likely to get in?
Really appreciate that this forum exists lol. I have like no idea about anything
Also for Japanese Universities specifically, most of them say: English - J-PAC
Does that mean you need to be doing like a major or something in Japanese to be able to go to these universities or can you just pass a proficiency test and be allowed to go?

Hi monash!
I would just like to ask for more info regarding the new higher education reforms.
Would New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents be required to pay the domestic full fee by next year? Or does the CSP still apply?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Ask Monash,
I was told that Foundations of Finance (BFC1001) isn't running at Clayton next year (and is being taken out of the Finance core units), I was wondering if it will also be taken out of the Accounting elective units, and replaced with Corporate Finance 1?
I'm still choosing between Accounting and Finance, and doing Foundations of Finance/Corp Fi would let me experience a Finance subject before making a decision. I also want to do either of those subjects as they are required for CA, and I would also like to keep that option open.
Thanks :)
Hey wanted to ask how monashs admission system work? Is it first come first serve basis if the total number of eligible students who apply to a given program exceed the maximum student intake of that batch? For example if for Ms in data science the total number of applicants that pass eligibility criteria are 1500 and well 200 seats are availible will monash consider the people who applied first or those that have high merit.
Thanks.
hey guys, this might be very irrelevant but i figured i may as well ask you guys since you all have enrolment experience. So, my course at monash requires 84 but on the course website it says that with seas i can get in with an atar of 75! surely, its not that simple. For seas, i qualify for the very first category because i was born outside of Australia and came after - 1/1/2012. Can you guys explain how this works and please tell me if i can get in with an atar around 75, i meet prerequisites requirements too! Thanks, id like any type of input. Appreciate it!
And, do you actually require some sort of documentation for category 1 because i recall seeing that it isnt needed and vtac will just use my personal details to determine that
Hey Monash,
A quick question about the Monash Guarantee Calculator: is it absolutely guaranteed that if the calculator deems you eligible (and for example, gives a 5-point ATAR boost), then you will be provided with a lower ATAR entry requirement for an eligible Monash course? Specifically the accuracy of the calculator on low-socio economic areas, I've heard rumors that some have been eligible for this section under the calculator but Monash also must take other factors in to consideration (such as family income, etc.) and therefore they did not receive the Monash Guarantee (again, given that the course allows for the Monash Guarantee). Sorry if my question is a bit clunky, but I greatly appreciate any response! Thanks!
PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY DOUBLE MAJOR (2ND YEAR S2000)
Hi Monash
As in bold, I would like to major the above,
however I would like some help picking electives.
I have 3 spots for electives and would like to know IF there are any electives that could help or is related with this major
Because I did do SCI1020 in first year, I would take STA1010
Please let me know if you can help or who I can contact for help
Regards

Hi Ask Monash,
I am looking at going into Engineering at Monash in 2019, and I would just like to know how the 'common first year' works, and what sort of electives are available for the course? Also, one of the options I am looking at includes a Masters degree in Advanced Engineering, and what does that entail/mean for study? How much work is it, what type of work, etc.
Phil
Hi Phil,Where can I access the 2018 handbook?
The 4 year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) kicks off with a common first year, where you’ll gain a better understanding of scientific and design fundamentals, and the interaction between engineering and society. You’ll also get a taste of the 13 engineering specialisations on offer before deciding which to pursue from level 2. You can read more about the course in the 2018 handbook (2019 handbook will be available from October, 2018).
As part of each of the engineering streams available, students will be given the opportunity to complete up to 8 electives in the course, 4 of which are technical electives (outlined in the 2018 handbook), and another 4 which can be units from other faculties.
Where can I access the 2018 handbook?
http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2018handbooks/Thanks a lot mate, much appreciated
Here's the page for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2018handbooks/courses/E3001.html
Hi, do you know when people are notified whether they have met the requirements to receive a Monash guarantee?
Hi Ask Monash University,
If I were to do a double degree in Science and Education, could I do a Diploma of Liberal Arts on top of that if I want to study arts units, and can I study it concurrently with the degree?
Thanks!
Hello, I am a first year student studying commerce/biomed and I have just received my 2nd semester results and they weren't what I was hoping for to say the least :( For the first semester I had passed all my units (4 units) however this semester I have managed to not pass 3 out of the four 😢. From my understanding, my progression is not considered unsatisfactory and will not be contacted by the academic progress committee as I have passed more than 50% of my units for the year correct ?
What is the likely outcome for such a matter? I know people receive warning letters however is that only for mid year as they would be in risk for the unit passing for the 12 months ?
Does monash have on campus recruiting events for commerce. Like for graduate and intern opportunities?
Hello Monash
I just received my ATAR, and got slightly over 90.
However, I did not undertake chemistry, and i was wondering if i could get into Bio medicine (I am monash guarantee [so I only need 88])
I am happy to do a bridging course, but I have a strong feeling that you must have 25 in Chemitry to be granted entry to biomedicine through vtac.
If you plan on studying a double degree at Monash, say engineering and commerce, would I be eligible to be selected for either the engineering excellence scholarship and the commerce excellence scholarship?
Note: as in can receive possibly receive both but can only accept one.
Also, if I get the required ATAR of 98+ will my SEAS application help in the process of obtaining a scholarship?
Thanks
What is the 'law pathway'?
I'm seeing it everywhere but dont quite understand it
Hi Monash,
For the law/arts pathway, is the minimum ATAR 90 including SEAS? Thank you! :)
Is the lowest ATAR offer similar each year? For the course I'm hoping to get into, my ATAR is just slightly higher than the 2017 lowest ATAR offer.
Thanks.
Hello Monash, So I go to an under represented school (carrum downs secondary), live in a low Socioeconomic area (Skye) and come from a disadvantaged financial background (parents receive centerlink benefits). However every student from my school received an email saying they are eligible for monash guarantee apart from me. Monash came to my school and said that i was eligible but i haven't received an email.... I have already submitted seas and last night i added a monash preference on VTAC? What do i do as i meet all the criteria? Is it because i only but monash as a preference last night? How can i contact them and sort this out?
Hey,
How can I complete a bachelor of commerce alongside a Diploma of Languages ? I'm planning on studying French to broaden my prospects in the future.
I originally thought you had to complete an Arts degree with Commerce, but apparently not ..?
If I study Diploma of Languages, how will it affect my timetable for my commerce degree ?
[redacted]
Hi Monash,
For the law/arts pathway, is the minimum ATAR 90 including SEAS? Thank you! :)
Is the lowest ATAR offer similar each year? For the course I'm hoping to get into, my ATAR is just slightly higher than the 2017 lowest ATAR offer.
Thanks.
1. Just wondering, did the person with the lowest ATAR offer receive the offer because they had more SEAs bonuses than other people? Hence, their adjusted ATAR would be higher than the people who want to get into that course?
2. How accurate is the Monash SEAs calculator?
3. Do subject bonuses apply to every course? Not sure how this works, but as far as I know, if you get higher than the prerequisites required for your course you get bonuses? Does this add up on top of SEAs?
Thanks guys.
Hi! Are there any limitations on transfers into law, for instance Bachelor of Global Studies into a double degree of global studies and law?
And in general what is the average mark one must maintain to transfer into law?
Thankyou!
Hi Monash!Yes you can (for both), although you may need to complete certain prerequisites units in your degree, and maintain a certain grade average.
If your doing the Arts/Science double degree
after completing the four years can you do an honours year in one of the degrees?
Is the workload significantly higher and more stressful in double degrees; namely the arts/science (bar the extra year)?You'll generally be doing 4 units (subjects) a semester - the same as a single degree student. Science units tend to have more contact hours/workload than Arts ones, but you won't be doing more work than a single degree student
Can I use my undergraduate degree (science) at Monash to apply for graduate medicine at other universities?Yes :)
Do you have to take a honours year to apply for graduate medicine?No, although some universities may consider it in the application process.
And a bit of a random question but what is your student support like for students with medical conditions?Monash has a very good disabilities support network, and they try their best to ensure you are not unfairly disadvantaged in your degree. While I haven't used it myself, I've heard good things :)
Thanks in advance!
64.80 atar :( stuffed my exams so so bad. I have seas for caþegory 2 and 3 (moved schools in year 12 due to parent having an accident and bein gin hospital all year) is there any course i could do at monash ? i did chemistry and biology do i get any subject bonuses for that
Hi I graduated this year and have a few questions regarding Monash undergraduate courses.Yes. If you are accepted for Biomedical Science then you qualify for the scholarship.
If i were to do a double degree bachelor of commerce/biomedical sciences, am i still eligible to be in the scholars program for biomedicine?
No, unfortunately, you wouldn't be eligible for Scholars program with a double degree.
With my ATAR, if i apply for Undergraduate of Biomedical Science (scholars program) am i guaranteed to be accepted and do i automatically qualify for the Biomedicine Discovery Scholarship?
Hi, I just wanted to ask about the ‘lowest ATAR offer’.
For example, Science is a clearly in of 85 and the lowest accepted was 75. Was the 75 ATAR the actual ATAR that was accepted or was it adjusted to meet the clearly in of 85?
Also, does Monash tend to accept people who fall short of meeting the clearly in ATAR by 1-2 points (after bonuses)?
Thank you!
Hi Monash,
I achieved an ATAR of 98.40 this year and applied for Engineering/Comm. Just wondering whether you know that the Engineering Excellence Scholarships have been given out yet, and if I have a chance of attaining it.
Thank you
Hi Monash,
Have the Monash Scholarships for Excellence been offered yet? I have received offers for both the Engineering Excellence Scholarship and the Biomedicine Discovery Scholarship, however my first preference is to undertake the BSc Advance Research degree, and hence I wouldn't be able to use these scholarships.
Thanks in advance,
Vaike :)
I recently received an offer for the John Gandel Scholarship at Monash, and one of the criteria is you must be residing in monash residential services as it comes with $6000 towards the costs. Although I have applied for accommodation, I am yet to receive an offer. Is there any guarantees that I will receive a residency offer given that I have received this scholarship?
Thanks
hey Monash,
just another question with Scholarships, I received the engineering excellence scholarship and was wondering if I should accept the offer or wait until the last minute to accept the offer? If I accept the offer now, does that mean I will no longer be able to receive other merit scholarships (e.g. scholarships from other faculties)?
thanks
Hi Monash,
I just accepted my course transfer and inadvertently accepted credit that I don’t want. Is there anyway I can get the units removed from my new degree transcript?
Many thanks!
is it possible for med students to go on exchange or study abroad given the rigid structure of medicine? Undergrad med btw
Hello Monash! :)
Could I just ask what do you mean you say in your reports the "lowest ATAR" to get into Monash law was 92?
Does that mean that person/people could go straight into for e.g. arts/law without going into Arts first and then transfer to Law? (because they didn't meet the 98 atar requirement?)
Also, if you receive for e.g. a 97 atar, would you not be guaranteed a place into Arts/Law? Would you have to transfer later?
Thanks a lot!! :)
Hi Monash,Hi ZAZ,
I got offered the Arts/Science double degree, and have a question about the science part.
I would like to complete a major in immunology or pathology, however after taken into account of the compulsary math unit and the SCI2010 as well as DEV2011, DEV2022, BCH2011, PHY2011(and PHY2032/PHY2042)(I got these subjects from the gemsat med prerequisite checker), there are not enough space for me to do neither of the majors.
Looking forward to hear your response,thanks in advance.
Hi VanillaRice,The problem that you have is that your free electives are taken up by your Arts studies. Usually, single degree Science students would be able to do something like you've suggested, as they're able to use their free electives. It's not really possible to bend the rules around the requirements for your degree to give you an extra unit, as from personal experience the requirements are quite strict.
Thanks for your suggestions, they are a great help :)
I still would like to have a major in immunology or pathology though and would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem as I doubt this only is the case for me.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Guys,Hi HubHub,
Based on your experiences, what electives do you think would be most beneficial if you were trying to get into Post-Grad Med either at Monash or Melbourne? I've been having such a hard time picking electives and don't know for certain which ones I NEED to do to complete the Gamsat or which ones I can actually do as an undergrad (so many require prerequisites ). Thank you so much!
Hi, I'm doing a bachelor of arts and science and am currently choosing my units. I've heard that a maths unit is compulsory in first year, but is this true? Does this mean that if I want to keep my units balanced for my two degrees I have 3 units left to choose from for science? if this is the case, does choosing a biology sequence and another unit keep my options open?Hi Sam M,
Thanks.
Hi Sam M,
It is indeed true that you need to do a level 1 maths unit at some point in your degree (most students opt to do it in first year). This maths unit can either be a part of a level 1 sequence, or on its own. For double degree Science students, you must complete a total of 5 level 1 units. On top of your Biology sequence, you must also complete another sequence, as well as a maths unit (if this isn't already done part of the sequence). What sequence you choose really depends on what types of majors you're interested in. You can find more info on the course handbook page for Science.
Hope this helps :)
Thanks so much for the very helpful response.Apologies, I should have specified that it refers to completing 30 credit points of level 1 Science units completed at some point in your degree. In most cases, these will be completed as early as possible (e.g. at least one level 1 sequence will be required to begin your major). For the Science/Arts double degree, it is recommended to complete 12 credit points in science, and 12 in arts per semester (as per your course map). This means you'll only be able to do 24 credit points of level 1 Science units in first year, and will have 6 credit points of level 1 units left to do at some other point (usually second year).
However I'm still a little confused about having to do 5 level 1 units for science. If I do this, that will be 30 credit points for science and then 24 for arts. I read somewhere that it is recommended to do units worth 48 credit points. Is it alright to do 54 points worth? Btw sorry if any of this is pretty obvious stuff.
Also, if you know, does the compulsory 5 level 1 units also apply to arts as part of a double degree? Thanks again.
Hi Monash,To be honest, the Bachelor of Science requires that you must do at least ONE math/ stats unit. If you got a 30 in Methods, either of those is possible (aka, you don't HAVE TO do both if you don't want to). You could also consider MTH1020. Depends on what you're intending to major/ minor in and whether you're intending to do this as a sequence or not. Remember you must also complete TWO Level 1 sequences, which can be math/ stats or not, if you wish.
Just wondering if SCI1020- introduction to statistical reasoning fulfils the Bachelor of Science, or whether STA1010 is also required?
I scored a 30 in methods last year, so just wondering what my best option is.

Hi Monash U!
Just wanted to ask - what is the WAM or result standard you need to maintain to transfer into a course like Physiotherapy? Is this standard difficult to maintain? And also how many spots are there available for transfer?

Hi....
I have just graduated school and as you know offers came out yesterday. I got my offer at RMIT which was my third preference. I want my first preference, I have all the prerequisites but I am 0.05 off from the clearly-inn ATAR. Will I get it in my second round? And yea it is a Monash course
Plzz let me know
Hi thelocat,
A pathway into the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) is to study at least one year of full time University study and achieve an average grade of at least 70+ (distinction). Non-year 12 school leavers will be assessed on their eligibility based on their entire academic record and interview performance. Course prerequisites must also be satisfied.
You can read more about the non-school leaver admission requirements through the following link: https://www.monash.edu/medicine/spahc/physio/prospective-students/pathways-into-physiotherapy.
Moreover, transfers are not possible. All applicants must apply through VTAC. We cannot provide you with the exact numbers of offers we issue each year, although according to the VTAC round 1 statistics for 2018, a total of 103 offers were made, 64 which were from recent secondary school graduates.
I hope this helps.
Ok thanks, and I just wanted to make sure that transfers into Monash Physio is possible from other unis right?Entry into Physiotherapy at Monash is not by transfer, but via application through VTAC. As such, if you have completed a year of tertiary study, you will apply as a non-year 12 school leaver. It won't matter where you completed your tertiary studies, but you will have to meet the requirements of the course.
And also wanted to ask whether Monash has some special consideration for transfers for its own students rather than students from other unis?
Cheers?

Since the process is done through VTAC, I highly doubt that Monash would preference current Monash students.
To be honest, the Bachelor of Science requires that you must do at least ONE math/ stats unit. If you got a 30 in Methods, either of those is possible (aka, you don't HAVE TO do both if you don't want to). You could also consider MTH1020. Depends on what you're intending to major/ minor in and whether you're intending to do this as a sequence or not. Remember you must also complete TWO Level 1 sequences, which can be math/ stats or not, if you wish.
Hi Monash
• Just wondering if there are subject bonuses that help with eligibility into the Bachelor of Biomedical Science course? Also if there are bonuses, is the maximum 8 bonus points? Thanks
Hi, I'll be doing a bachelor of commerce/science this year and possibly looking to major in behavioural commerce and psychology. Some of the units required for the behavioural commerce major overlaps with the units required for psych, so if I take those units would they count towards the credit needed for the bachelor of commerce or science? And for the majors? Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Does anyone know when scholarship payments come through - is it before the 16th of Feb when the payment for SEM 1 units is due?
Many Thanks!
BumpI think they come sometime in March, from memory.
Hi, I received the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship for Excellence after the ATAR score release and accepted it via the email link and am wondering if there is any need to follow up. And am I still eligible if I enrol for a second round offer? Thank-youBump. Anyone? It's my last day to accept

Hi, I'm doing a bachelor of arts and science and am currently choosing my units. I've heard that a maths unit is compulsory in first year, but is this true? Does this mean that if I want to keep my units balanced for my two degrees I have 3 units left to choose from for science? if this is the case, does choosing a biology sequence and another unit keep my options open?
Thanks.
Hi, just a quick question. How do you watch live streamed lectures?Hi Sam M,
I'm allocated for one later today, but have no idea what I need to open to watch it.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i am currently studying Bachelor of pharmacy in RMIT. i have a question about the course transfer.Hi heyi,
If i successfully transferred to Monash's bachelor of pharmacy next year, do i start at Year 1 in the course or i do progress to the relevant year?
thank you for your time.
Please note that credit is not currently given for transfers into pharmacy. We recommend that students interested in pharmacy consider completing their relevant degree, with a minimum average of 70% (distinction or equivalent), and apply for our graduate entry pharmacy program.Since credit is not given, you will have to start from the beginning. However, you can also choose to complete your current degree and apply for graduate entry into pharmacy, which will allow you to progress to the third year of the course upon meeting the relevant requirements.
Hey monash,The Methods equivalent is MTH1010 from memory. The Specialist equivalent is MTH1020. Both of those are first year units that you can take once you're enrolled into the Bachelor of Science. All other pre-requisites such as completing a raw 25 SS in an English subject (30SS for EAL) and a science/ maths (excludes Further) subject with a raw 25 SS still apply.
Unless I have gravely missinturped something, your science course does not require methods as a prequsite, rather the prequsite can be satisfied with physics. Just wondering how if you guys offer a methods and spesh equivilant classes in ur science degree along all majors?
Thanks!

Hi there!Yes - it's possible to do this, provided you meet the requirements for a transfer. These include having completed at least 12 points of study, and having a minimum WAM (which from memory is around 70% - double check this with Science Student Services).
I’m a first year, and was wondering if it’s possible to do an internal course transfer for a course that offers acceptance mid year, in my first year? I really don’t enjoy my course, and would like to know if I could change my double degree into a single degree (which I do study at the moment) eg. sci and i.t -> bach. of sci?

Hi Monash,
I'm currently a first year bio med student interested in transferring into the bachelor of medical imaging and radiography. Is it possible for me to take a gap year and reapply through vtac where only my atar is only considered, and would seas be considered too? or is my only option to apply internal transfer?

Hey Monash,
If one is due to finish their degree by end of semester 2, have we technically graduated after semester 2 ends granted we pass all units? Or do we only offically hold a Bachelor of Science for example, when graduation ceremony happens in May the following year? In case a prospective employer needs evidence we have completed the degree?

Hi Monash,
Is the single degree of Bachelor of Education (Honours) specialising in Primary Education only available to complete at the Peninsula campus? That's what I have gathered from looking at the Handbook, however, I'd like to know for certain if it's offered at the Clayton campus or not without doing a double degree. :)

Hello Monash Team!
I am a Monash enthusiast, that have fallen in love with the Clayton campus and the university's sociocultural and environmental values that have prompted movements created within the campus such as '#Changeit' catching my attention. I am a rural student from NSW and was wondering that student's like myself receive 5 bonus points (due to the disadvantage of not gaining or having access to other resources that urban students are able to do so) will be accounted for if I apply through VTAC, as I live interstate?
P.S I'm looking at partaking in Engineering/Commerce as a double degree.
Thank you,
Ange ;D
Hey monash,Not entirely sure if this is the case Monash-wide, but with my faculty (pharm&pharmsci), I chose my major by choosing the units corresponding to the major in the web enrolment system (WES). To change my major, all I'd need to do is login to WES and change the units I currently have for a major to the units I want for another major. :)
Looking to study a bachelor of science at monash. Am however, having difficulty deciding on a major for if i were to get accepted. Just wondering what the process is with changing major during your study incase I change my mind mid year or something.
Thanks.

To change my major, all I'd need to do is login to WES and change the units I currently have for a major to the units I want for another major. :)Insanipi is right. In the BSci, your only compulsory units are SCI2010/ SCI2015 and a Level 1 maths/ stats unit. I finished my Bachelor of Science (without Honours) at the end of last year. Actually, there was a post or two on here discussing whether I should change. I chose my major at the end of first year by selecting the units I wanted. The end of first year is usually the crucial turning point in which you decide your major. On occasion, you'll have more time to choose your major (i.e. a second turning point at the end of second year, usually), but this will depend on the units you've taken. For example, I chose a pair of genetics units and another pair of molecular biology units. These are the prerequisites for two majors: biochemistry and genetics. (I chose to do an extended major in genetics in the end.) Note that this option is only applicable in some circumstances, not all, so choose your second year units wisely and ask Science Student Services for help, where necessary.
I was wondering if I am able to transfer to a course which I could have done at the beginning of the year (meeting the prerequisites with the ATAR required, for Monash guaranteed tho). I am a first year student and I was wondering if there were to be a case of falling below the WAM required to transfer, will they consider me since I was able to do the course in the beginning of the year?
Thank you.
Hey monash,Yes - in your first year, you are required to complete units (subjects) from at least two different areas of study. For example, I did chemistry and mathematics. The second/third year units usually require the relevant first year units as prerequisites.
I've heard people say that in most science degrees the first year is really general and where you 'experiment with majors' whilst the 2nd and 3rd year are where you actually start your major.
Is this considered to be generally true for monash's bachelor of science?
[1] Can I do MBBS after a double degree [Bachelor of Engineering and Biomedical Science]?Monash no longer offers the MBBS, which has been replaced by the MD (in general, they both qualify you to become a doctor). To answer your question - you cannot complete the MD at Monash via the undergraduate pathway if you have already begun tertiary study. However, your (Monash) Biomedical Science degree will allow you to apply for the graduate pathway (75 places).
[2] Does completing a double degree [Bachelor of Engineering and Biomedical Science] allow me to enter medical school and complete a M.D. degree and then [MAYBE] specialize to become a neurologist or a neurosurgeon?Yes. In fact, in general you do not specifically require either degree to enter medical school in Australia, although Biomedical Science (at Monash) will allow you to apply for the graduate pathway into MD at Monash.
[3] Can I work as a starter engineer at a company while studying M.D. after school time?I guess you could, but you probably wouldn't want to, given that you'll also have to balance the workload of studying medicine.
[4] Is it better to spend residency time here in Australia or outside the country?I don't really have the knowledge to answer this, but hopefully someone else can.
Thanks for the answers, now for this part I'm still in high school so I don't think I started my tertiary study and from what I understand to become a MD Doctor I need to have a Master's degree to study MD in Monnash, so I can do Master of Surgery and then start studying MD? and is there anyway to study MD with the undergraduate path if I'm still not in my tertiary study?Thanks.
I've applied for internal course transfer , any idea how long until we find out if we're successful?
Thanks
I was just researching how much would my course would cost if I got into it and from what I calculated in the fee calculator [240 Credit points, the amount in direct entry MD for Clayton Campus] and it said $303,000, now as a high school student I don't know how realistic that is but is this an accurate calculation and is it really that much? [I used the fee calculator in their Monash.edu website]
Thanks.
Hello Monash![1] It doesn't guarantee you a place in the course.
I would love to attend Monash next year and al though I have attended career expos I still have some questions. Firstly I am aspiring to become a doctor hence will be applying for the MD course. So here are my queries:
[1] Does getting a 175 for UMAT and 94 ATAR secure a spot for me in the course or even after the interview Monash guarantee scheme doesn't 100% mean that I will get in?
[2] Considering the worst case scenario and let's say that my UMAT is below 175 but my ATAR is in high 90s, will my high ATAR compensate for my low UMAT score?
[3] I am not hell-bent on getting into Monash and would possibly going interstate to study Medicine, are the entry schemes similar and what university would be similar to Monash in terms of the course if I were to study elsewhere?
[4] Is it true that there is no hope for students who score below 50 on a section of the UMAT in regards to undergraduate medicine study? Has there ever been a case of someone getting into medicine who has not met the 50/50/50 requirement?
Thank you and I am keen to hear back from you! :)
Hi Monash!I am not 100% sure of time. It might be a good idea to reach out to Monash on social media (Twitter, Facebook), or perhaps a current student can answer.
I know that applications for accommodation opens on the 1st of September, but what time does it open? Also how are applications considered, is it first come first serve, or by the individual's needs (eg. living in rural areas, coming from other countries) ?
Thank you!
Dear Monash University,Hi,
Upon examining VTAC course search, I noticed a major in neurobiology within the bachelor of biomedical science, however could not locate it on your website. Would you be able to corroborate the existence of such a major, and what it encompasses?
Thank you.
Regards
Matthew
Hey Monash,seeing as Ask Monash hasn't been active for ~2 months I'll try to answer this for you.
I'm thinking about going to Monash to study a bachelor of biomed and am hoping to get into research in immunology/molecular biology.
1. What would be realistic grades I'd need to get into honours and Ph.D?
2. How competitive is it?
3. Are Monash students given preference when applying for postgrad studies?
4. What's the student culture like? ie. Are people suppotive and friendly or just really competitive?
Thanks :)
Hello, I am graduating secondary this year and have been wanting to do a bachelor biomedical science in Monash uni. Unfortunately i dont quite meet the prerequisites as i don't do methods or specialist maths. So i was wondering.. if i do a bachelor of science, is it possible to do a mid-year (or earlier) internal course transfer into biomedicine? If not, are there any other pathways? Thanks in advance!
When do transfers open for Semester 1, 2019 entry? :)
Applications open 2pm, Monday 3 September.
All applications close Friday 26 October.
Is it possible to complete the psychology extended major in the Sci/Biomed double?You can. You'd just have to plan this carefully in your course map.
What about in the Biomed scholars degree? And in the Biomed single?Biomed degrees don't have a major. Everyone does all the compulsory core units with 6 (for the BBiomed Adv.) or 8 elective slots in a single degree. The elective slots wouldn't fit the 10 units required for an extended major in psych.
Is it possible to complete the graduate entry medicine prerequisite units if also completing an extended major in psychology in Sci/Arts?Not unless you study the extended psych major in the Arts degree and made the Science degree have a major including at least 1 of the 5 units required for entry (none of them include psych). I'd probably double check this, though. This is what I got from 5 minutes of research.
What is the difference between a Graduate Diploma of Psychology Advanced and a Graduate Diploma in Professional Psychology? Are they both full fee?Not so sure about this one.
Can you do 2 Sci majors and 2 Arts majors in a Sci/Arts degree?Nope. A major requires usually 8 units each. In a BSci/Arts, the BSci has a requirement of at least one math/ stats unit AND either SCi2010 or SCI2015, which would mean that the second science major would not be possible.
How much time does a Diploma of Languages alongside a 4 year double degree add?Typically a year, regardless of single or double degree.
Are the ATAR requirements for scholarships before or after adjustments?Most of the time, before, but I'd double check this.
hi, I was just wondering whether a law and commerce (majoring in actuarial studies) double degree would be a useful degree? I'm mainly interested in becoming an actuary, and I am definitely more of a maths person. But I was thinking of doing law too because I'm thinking that it may make me a more desirable employee as an actuary. Considering that I mainly want to be an actuary should I just do an actuarial studies degree at uni Melb (since uni melb is more prestigious?) \. cool thanks!!!
Hello Monash,Nah, monash doesn't use gamsat and doesn't take students from other unis.
Is it possible to study Bachelor of biomedical sciences in La Trobe university for example and then study medicine post graduate in Monash after completing GAMSAT? and if so does this system work for other universities too? or should I get a bachelor of biomedical science from the university itself like Monash to get into the medicine course in that university?
I'm aware of the direct entry program but that is not what I'm planning to do so please don't mention it.
Thank you.
Hi to anyone checking this thread!
I have applied via VTAC to attend Monash next year (in year 12 atm), and wish to live on-campus.
The first round offers for living on campus are released on the 21st of November; prior to the receipt of an ATAR.
As I am not 100% certain I will achieve the required mark to get into my course, should I still apply for a first round residential offer? If I receive one will I be required to accept before receiving my ATAR, and if so, what happens if I do not get into the course?
Hi to anyone checking this thread!Hi there - I had this problem as well when I applied to live on campus! From memory, I accepted my offer. If you don't get an offer for the course, then no stress - they'll just offer your place on res to someone else. From memory you have until after offers are sent out to pay the rental deposit needed to secure your place.

hey! just a question about monash guaranteeIt's a general thing AFAIK, so as long as you're eligible, you should receive an email saying whether that's been accepted/rejected before ATAR release (usually comes in Nov/ Dec sometime) and this will apply to most courses. Even after ATARs are released, it should technically be considered as far as I'm aware.
so if you are eligible for it, will you recieve a general monash guarantee offer before atars come out?
as in, is the monash guarantee only applicable for one course, or is it just a general offer, and can be applied for any course?
only asking because i am thinking of adding a new course onto my preferences when the atars come out, and was wondering if monash guarantee could be used for that.
sorry if i sound confusing lol
thanks in advance :)
a) I really want to do biomed/law because I want to see if I'm interested in law but everyone I've talked to has been against this option (1. course is 5 years, 2. law is "too much", 3. weird combo to score high enough in)1. Course time shouldn't be a limiting factor if you're truly passionate about doing the course.
I'm having a bit of trouble deciding which degree will provide me the best pathway to med but if that doesn't work out, which one will provide me the best employment outcome.Studying Melb Biomed would exclude you from Monash's postgrad med course, as Monash postgrad med only takes Monash undergrad students. I don't know whether the 'super competitive environment' point in (d) is true, so I won't speak about that. As for employment opportunities, depending on your personal preferences and what you wind up studying (majors, minors, experience, etc.), all of these degrees offer some good employment opportunities.

b) biomed
c) science
d) Melb Biomed (but I'm a bit hesitant in picking this because of the super competitive environment)
My goal is to keep my WAM high enough so I do the UCAT and transfer to Med in interstate unis.It seems less common to see this than see people try for postgrad med using the GAMSAT and weighted undergrad grades on AN. I don't know much about this though.
Also is the biomed discovery scholarship offered to biomed/law students because the requirements say 98 atar which is the cutoff for biomed/law?Upon my 2 minutes of research, I found this site about the Biomed Discovery Scholarship. If this is right, you'll only be able to get the Biomed Discovery Scholarship if you're enrolled/ intent on enrolling in the specific BBiomed Sci (Scholar Program) course and satisfy all the other requirements, which means you probably have to put this course as Preference #1 in your VTAC application (please check directly with the uni). It's less likely that you'll get one if you're doing a BBiomed/Law. I'd check if this completely excludes you though.
Hi Monash,If you are think/know that UoM biomed is "supercompetitive" the same would apply to monash biomed since the cohorts are quite similar :)

Thank you in advance!
(the ATAR needed for that is usually 99+ but was mid/high 98s last year). In addition to the atar requirement you also need 40+ study score in chemistry and a 40+ study score in methods or specialist
That's weird.. I remember being offered that scholarship from Monash (I had biomed partway down my preference list) and my methods score was under 40. I think that requirement must've changed.Just double checked and yes it has changed. I think the rule stood last year but possibly they also allowed a 40+ in physics in place of methods/spec. I didn't do physics so didn't really pay attention to that requirement.
Compulsory: Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 30 in English (EAL) or at least 25 in English other than EAL; Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 35 in Chemistry; Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 35 in one of Maths: Mathematical Methods, Maths: Specialist Mathematics or Physics.But there is still a difference (10 SS points) between this and the normal course
Hey everyone! I am applying for a Bachelor of Engineering to begin next year. In the ‘Enrolled ATAR Distribution 2017’ document thing on the website, it shows the atar information relating and number of people admitted to each course. I noticed it had a Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Engineering course (double degree both in engineering?!). Is this possible? I don’t think it’s on 2018’s report but it’s definitely in 2017’s and I’m really interested in it.Hey there,
Thank you!
Hey there,
I believe you are referring to the Bachelor-Masters of Engineering accelerated pathway, which allows you to complete both the bachelor and masters (advanced engineering) qualifications in 5 years.
Hope that helps :)
Thanks for the reply! But no it’s not, it’s different to the masters, it’s two undergraduate degrees in engineering. How do I attach a photo? ThanksHey again,
Hi!
I'm starting uni next year, and am planning on doing a double degree at Monash. I've been looking at articles on the benefits of studying part time, and I'm just wondering in terms of the time spent at uni and studying, what's the difference between full and part time studying?
Thanks!
4-5 units per semester as opposed to 1-2-3. If you're on a study visa or receive Centrelink benefits (e.g. Youth Allowance), you need to be careful with this decision as this can affect your eligibility for YA (or may not meet the conditions of a visa). So something that can take 4 years could take 6-8 depending on how many units you take.
Part time would obviously be beneficial in the sense that you'd have less units to deal with per semester... but it'd add at least 1 year to your course duration. Apart from the above considerations, fees are indexed so you may end up actually worse off financially as opposed to somebody who does the full time load.
With uni subjects, you'll find that in a lot of cases, they lead onto further subjects which have prerequisites. Honestly, i'd advise against part-time unless there are serious circumstances which require you to go part-time (e.g. needing to work to support yourself, looking after a sick relative etc). Especially if you plan on doing a double degree.
My advice would be to look at the course map for your course - which will tell you what a full time load looks like.
Does anyone know when the email for monash guarantee will be sent out?Hey there!
I hope it hasnt been sent already :-[ ..
Hey again Monash,
Are the merit scholarships based on raw ATAR or SEAS calculated ATAR? And if possible do you know what the cut off was for the Engineering Excellence Scholarship last year (or past few years).
Thanks :)
Hey again Monash,

Just checking this link here:
https://www.monash.edu/study/fees-scholarships/scholarships/find-a-scholarship/engineering-excellence-4093A
It says that you should have a minimum ATAR of 98 to be considered.
Hi, I'm also enquiring about merit scholarships. I know anyone with 98+ is eligible but does anyone have a good idea of what kind of ATAR is needed to get one? And when are they offered? Thanks.Not sure about ATAR aside from what has already been said. Merit scholarships are generally competitive. Usually fairly early in the game (close to now), but I just checked and I have my info wrong - see here for correct timeframe.
Also, I believe I've applied for 2 different Monash courses, one is more competitive than the other. Will my chances of being offered the scholarship differ depending not the course (ie could I receive it for one course and not the other?), or is it just awarded to the top 40 ATARs between 99.95 and 98?AFAIK, you just need to have Monash as a preference at time of consideration and top 40 of those = potentially get merit scholarship.
Thanks.

What do you mean about the timeframe?According to the website I linked.
Offers will be made from mid-December and throughout January and FebruaryMy understanding is most will happen in mid-December but because preferences change, the scholarship may not be fully confirmed until February.
Hi! The ATAR needed for the bachelor of psychology (honours) is 85. My ATAR is 87, does this mean that I'll definitely get an offer into the course or does it just increase my chances of receiving an offer? Is it possible I don't get an offer despite achieving a higher ATAR than needed?If 85 is the clearly in (last year) it is very likely that you will recieve an offer.
Thanks! :)
Hey guys!Don't worry. Although ATAR clearly-ins change yearly, they often don't move much for something like the BA/Law.
I was just wondering, will the ATAR requirement be higher than 98 this year for Arts/Law at Monash?
I got 98.1 this morning, and I'm freaking out!!!
Will they accept me or will the ATAR requirement go up?
How likely is this to happen?
I'd really appreciate a response!
Thank you so much everyone! :)
Hey guys!Its been set at 98 for quite while now so I think it wont go up and a large proportion of students are accepted below the clearly ins anyway for 2 d rounders and seas/bonus points.
I was just wondering, will the ATAR requirement be higher than 98 this year for Arts/Law at Monash?

Will they accept me or will the ATAR requirement go up?
How likely is this to happen?
I'd really appreciate a response!
Thank you so much everyone! :)
What differences are there between bachelor of biomedical science and bachelor of science degree majoring in a biological science? I've heard that biomedical science limits your options more but can't find any information about this.Biological sciences at Monash cover very different areas to Biomed. Here's the areas that the School of Biological Sciences covers. Here's Biomed's course page which lists the areas studied there. I did my undergrad and Hons with the School of Biological Sciences, so if you need details, feel free to ask.
I'm interested in a double degree of engineering with one of the two science degrees but I'm not sure which one will be more suited for me.

I really want to get into the Monash law/art course but the atar requirement is too high for me. I only got a 96.4 atar and I don’t see any chance of getting into my first preference...Is it possible that if I enroll in art then transfer into law? If so, will the requirements be hard to achieve? And when can I start applying for course transfer once I get into uni?There was a recent post about this, which you can read over here. There's actually multiple ways you can eventually do law, if not immediately.
Hey! My first preference has a lowest selection rank of 97.90 (radiography), and I received an email a few days ago saying I’m eligible for the Monash guarantee which has a score of 90. The ATAR I received is 96.05 and I satisfy all the prerequisites, is there a guarantee that I will get accepted ? I’m actually not very sure on what the Monash Guarantee means, is it just a higher chance of getting accepted or is it definite? Thanks!I can't say whether it's just a higher chance or definite because different sources state slightly different things. For example: The last question on left column of the final page of this brochure basically says "yeah, it's a guarantee" (i.e. definite). Meanwhile, the Monash Guarantee site unfortunately is a bit more vague and states "eligible" rather than a definite position.
Biological sciences at Monash cover very different areas to Biomed. Here's the areas that the School of Biological Sciences covers. Here's Biomed's course page which lists the areas studied there. I did my undergrad and Hons with the School of Biological Sciences, so if you need details, feel free to ask.
Thanks for the help! What are the job prospects like for a double degree with both degrees?Sorry to cut this answer short, but I'll just link a bunch of careers resources:
Is the Biomedicine Discovery Scholarship awarded to anyone who got above 98 and puts Biomedicine (scholars) in their preferences disregarding the position of it in the list?I think so, reading this. Not 100% sure though.
Also what are the differences between Biomed (normal) vs Biomed (scholars)?I found this old thread from 2 years ago that basically answers this question.
Please help everyone :(Answered already in After Year 12 Q + A Thread. Will be deleting the duplicate post in Monash General Chat.
I calculated my adjusted atar to be 89.40 however the lowest selection rank for my course is 91.05 (monash bachelor of engieering {honours}). Can i still get an offer with this score? What is the probability?
Thankyou so much everyone!

Hi MonashHey there,
What are the rough requirements for an internal course transfer from First Year Science to Second Year Radiography in terms of WAM requirement and number of places available? Would you need to do certain subjects in the science degree to be eligible to transfer, and would your year 12 results (including prerequisite scores like 35 in English (EAL)) prevent you from being able to transfer?
Thanks!
Entry into the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours) program is highly competitive. Applicants considering an Internal Course Transfers must demonstrate that they:
Meet the prerequisites as published in the Find a Course
Completed at least 24 credit points of study
Obtained at least a Distinction (70) average
Submit Supplementary Form
Hi Monash,Hey there,
I was just wondering if its possible to get around subject prereqs? (for methods, for biomed scholars)
Like by promising to do a maths elective?
Thank you!
Hi everyone!Hey there,
Would it be possible to provide a link or a sample timetable of a double degree course at Monash?
I'm just curious about how you fit the majors and minors in each degree in your timetable.
Is there a sample timetable anywhere?
Thank you so much! :)
Hey there,Thank you so much for the prompt reply!!
By "timetable", do you mean the subject choices for the whole degree? If so, you'll find them labelled as "course maps". To find a course map for a particular course, you can begin by searching up the course in the course handbook. Once you've found the course page, on the right panel (right-hand side of the page), you'll find towards the bottom a heading "course progression map" - click the link and you're there!
For example, here are the links to the course handbook page and course map for my course.
Hope that helps! :)
Hi Monash! I'm interested in radiation science at Monash, however I am just wondering what the job prospects are after I graduate? Is it going to be easy to get a job in this degree? Also does this course have any placement? Thanks in advance.I just learnt that a Bachelor of Radiation Science even exists, so thanks. I also found this flyer that may help answer most of those questions. I won’t say it’s easy or hard because I’m not too sure myself and it’s dependent on a lot of factors apart from your degree.
Hi Monash,Providing the paperwork should’ve been fine. I’m not sure whether it’s low or medium low according to it, but I guess you can try both. Sorry that that’s not vrry helpful but I can’t confidently say which one it is.
I was wondering, if my family receives Family Tax Benefit A and B, does this qualify as “low” or “medium-low” in terms of the SEAS category (as per Monash SEAS calculator)? Keep in mind I didn’t write anything extra for my application besides attach the Centrelink statements. If it helps, only one of my parents work. Thanks.
Hello!
I just wanted to ask if Monash had any courses to do with audiology or speech pathology? I couldn't find anything when I was researching and its a course I finally found myself being interested in.
Thanks (:
Hi there! I’m not sure what I want to do yet, so would a bachelor of science be a good choice to keep my options open? Could I then be able to transfer to another course in my second year for example?Hey there! So I’ve just completed the Bachelor of Science (Honours), so I can help here. If you’re at all interested in science and don’t know what to do, it’s fine to jump into a broad degree like this one until you figure things out. As for transferring, you can transfer between semesters as long as you’re competitive enough (usually uni grades must be 70+ WAM, except after first semester first year where ATAR probably will be considered too). After first semester, you can transfer into most courses excluding medicine and most related specialist health sciences (e.g. radiography).
Hey so I’m wondering how scholarships work because I have a peer who has been offered a scholarship from Monash but Monash was not even her top 5 preference list. Monash is 2nd in my preference list and I have obtained a higher ATAR than my peer, we were from the same high school and I also received Monash guarantee, so I am curious as to why I was not offered the same scholarship? ( we put the same course down for Monash)People aren’t always granted scholarships according to ATAR and preference number. In fact, many of them consider your financial situation and any other disadvantages you may have stumbled across or other factors over ATAR. If the scholarship your friend received isn’t a merit/ excellence scholarship, that might be the answer. Another reason could just be because only a few scholarships have been offered so far and yours just hasn’t arrived yet. If it is a merit/excellence scholarship, it’s probably because all offers aren’t out and you’ve not been contacted yet.
Hi, I was asking about this same topic a couple of days ago but I'm still contemplating my chances at a merit scholarship. Is there anyone who has had experience receiving a scholarship relatively late? Or does anyone know much about the timeline in terms of second round/later offers? I haven't received anything yet but since my ATAR is around the (suggested) cut off (99.75) I thought I may scrape in to second round or later offers?Not all excellence scholarship offers are out yet. As Monash can’t contact everyone in one day, they often offer it over several days. Since Friday was the first and only previous business day this round*, you’ll just have to wait and see. If you’re guessing you’re getting one in the second round, I don’t know if/ when that will happen, but please wait patiently for at least a couple of weeks. Sorry that’s not a very helpful answer.
If anyone has any info or experience re. this, please pass it on! Thanks so much.
Hey Monash,From what I know, you can’t get two merit or academic scholarships but you can get something like a community/ privately funded scholarship and a merit scholarship (where the former may be of higher value), but this is generally rare. So I think it’s a (hesitant) yes to your question. (Don’t quote me on that.)
I just got a scholarship offer. I read in the info that it’s rare to get another scholarship offer to a higher value. Do you know at all if this is generally true? Thank you ☺️
hey!Not unless you need to for your course (check entry requirements of your course or VTAC course search), or you are super concerned about it. You might need to fill it out if you’re attempting to get into a degree involving fine arts, design, drama and these sorts of arts (not the humanities), or something that requires an interview for entry (excluding med).
On VTAC there is a section that says 'personal statement' .Do we need to fill that in to apply for a course at Monash?
thanks!
But do we have to apply for subject bonus points or does the university do this before 19th Jan without us knowing?
Like I mean do we have to submit any application or any documents to claim for subject bonuses just to be safe?
Hey Monash,Assuming you’ve entered correct information then it should be fairly accurate. 99 to 99.95 isn’t really that big of a jump - obviously a bit different because I applied through UAC and to a different university but my 90.8 went to a 96.8, so I wouldn’t say that going from 99 to 99.95 would be an unreasonable jump.
How accurate is the SEAS calculator on your website? It has given me an estimated 99.95 assuming I achieve a 99.00 next year which is a pretty significant boost.
Thanks :)
Hi Monash,
When will the work experience for Year 10 be out for 2019 (next year)? I've emailed "Laura Reid" two weeks ago, who is apparently in charge of extra curricular but haven't received anything.
Thanks
{bump}
Just a reminder that it is the holiday period and Ask Monash rarely posts on here anymore. It would be best to contact them directly when they are on campus.Ok -___-
Ok -___-
Do you think by email or phone?
I want to get this done early! Cause i'm stressed I won't find a work experience I want.
Hi Monash,Pretty much as Aaron has stated above. Laura is likely on a break (and might've been since two weeks ago), as is the university until January 2 as it's the holiday season. To be honest, I probably would wait and give it a few weeks to have things like Work Experience to be sorted out and/or prioritised. Unfortunately, Work Experience is generally one of those things that take a bit of organising on their side and, with the holiday season going on, the fastest something like this would be sorted out is probably mid-January at the earliest. Probably check the application website every now and then after the new year arrives, and then call if nothing has been put up by mid-January and you haven't received any replies.

By phone if you want it sorted ASAP. Email takes a few days at least - i'd assume probably a bit longer given the holidays (and the fact your email will probably be passed onto multiple people as it tries to find the correct person). It's good you know the person to contact too, will make things easier.

Does the current website signify that they are changing the dates?Could be either, although usually because they’re revamping the site. I’d start to worry if it goes on past Jan 2 (because holidays). Don’t worry. Will most likely be up soon.
http://www.med.monash.edu.au/sobs/teaching/secondary/work-ex.html
Or is it a technical issue?
Thanks

I've noticed that Monash has specialised degrees and am wondering if you are able to take two specialisations?Did you mean specialisations as in like double degrees e.g. BBus/BusSpec (btw, I don't think this degree is running in 2019, but I may be wrong), double majoring in two areas (e.g. BBus majoring in Business Management + Banking and Finance) or something else?
How can you apply for the Monash Engineering Leadership program? Can you get considered through ATAR?This link may help. There's a link to apply in the "Eligibility and how to apply" section, but you won't be eligible until you're enrolled into uni and completed a year of study. And no, it's not by ATAR according to the link, but by written application and interview.
Yes, sorry, I mean two specialisations as two double degrees.(Note: Public Relations can only be studied within the Bachelor of Media Communications)
My first preference at the moment is Bachelor of Business and Accounting (with accounting being the specialist), but I’d like to do Public Relations as a second specialist degree, and replace it with Business. Is it possible to do that?
if i go to deakin for optometry this year and find that i don't like it, or happen to fail a unit which would set me back a year in the course, would i be able to do an external transfer into monash physiotherapy for the following year? if so, would failing a unit at deakin greatly affect my chances of getting in?If you’re intending on doing the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at Monash via this path, you will only be able to apply as a mature age student via VTAC and you won’t be transferring but effectively starting the degree anew. I don't know if your uni grades will count or be used during the application process, but you’ll still have to make all the prerequisites and such either via VCE or equivalent uni subjects. Please call Monash Connect to confirm the finer details.
I am currently studying a degree at another University and I have a strong desire to study Physiotherapy at Monash University. Can I transfer into this degree?
Unfortunately, you cannot transfer into the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours); you must apply through VTAC as a non-year 12 applicant.
Applications must be submitted to VTAC. As a non-current year 12 applicant you must meet the pre-requisite requirements (as outlined at Mature aged).
Hi,Here's a course outline (including what's involved) for the Bachelor of Laws/Comm double degree and some of the units (subjects) have been reviewed here, including difficulty ratings. Course structure can be found with the course map. Contact hours depend on your units but you can probably expect about 12-18 hours/week IIRC, with the majority closer to the shorter half of that range.
I am considering doing commerce and law and was wondering what this double degree is like. How many contact hours are there and is the course difficult. How is the course structured and what does this course involve?
Thanks,
Abi
'Location' category seems to give out the most points compared to all the other categories, which, in my opinion, should receive more points than living in a low socio-economic area since it seems more disadvantaged.
But yeah, I'm kinda skeptical if my adjusted ATAR is actually that high! So if anyone could clarify, that would be great - thanks!
So my question is what kind of jobs are available for students on campus? Are positions available in the food stores or other shops, or are there any other types of jobs available? If not on campus, what are some jobs nearby?Once you're enrolled in the uni, there are a few sites that offer jobs on campus. It's a range from the stores on campus to helping students with disabilities take notes in class. If you don't want a job on campus and you're studying at the Clayton campus, there's a strip of restaurants and shops down the road, a hospital and other services to try and get a job at, depending on your experience and qualifications. All other campuses are generally within the vicinity of shops or restaurants as well, so you could also find random jobs around the place too.
I'm likely to do a double degree - Commerce/Law. However, what would be the process if I had to drop - let's say Law - and just study Commerce. What would happen then?You'd be applying for an internal transfer during the degree, probably after a semester or two, assuming you have competitive enough grades (something like a 70+ WAM to be eligible usually). If you apply for transfer after one semester, ATAR and uni grades will be considered. If after a year or more you transfer, just uni grades will matter. IIRC, any law units you've done (and passed) would eventually become your electives in your new BComm degree and then you'd have less electives. Earlier transfers means more elective spaces you'll have free and remaining.
Hi Monash, I'll be doing a Bachelor of Commerce and Finance this year but I am clueless about electives. The course progression map shows that have one elective to chose for first year however does it need to be from the Faculty of Business and Economics? For example, can I choose Chinese to do as an elective? What electives I can choose from and what would be most beneficial?Your electives don't have to be within the Faculty of Business and Economics, if you don't want to. For example, I did a minor in Japanese, despite doing a Bachelor of Science, via my electives. As for which electives, electives can be from anywhere pretty much - in the Faculty of Business and Economics or in another faculty altogether. As long as your faculty says you can do the unit you've chosen, the sky's the limit. Usually this means you can try most units that you have done the prerequisite and/or co-requisite units for in practically any faculty at Monash, with usually exceptions in medical and allied health areas. Electives can be anything from science to arts (e.g. languages, social sciences, humanities) to music, or, if you don't want to venture too far out, your entire degree can be done with your faculty, if you so wish. As to what's beneficial, that's really up to you to decide.
Hi, I am doing a Bachelor of Science and Arts and I was wondering how bad of an idea it would be to do Japanese as a minor (I'm 100% going to be a Linguistics major so I will do a language anyway, for the love of it) if I've never ever EVER learnt a lick of Japanese. How hard is it to learn? Is the grading difficult?
I am a quick learner of languages and I know 3-4 with high fluency, for reference.

I'm a little biased because I've been studying Japanese since year 7 (properly since year 10) and I'd recommend you go for it! I'm not from an Asian speaking background at all and I've found that the language is extremely accessible if you put in the work but also have a genuine interest in learning it. Considering you have such a passion for languages, I don't think it will be overtly difficult for you (however difficulty is a subjective measure).I’ll take it from here, Jigsaw, thanks. For the record, I have a minor in Japanese, despite being a Science student. The structure of Monash Japanese is quite formulaic and predictable: you do X activity in Y session. Although I did do VCE Japanese and went immediately into Japanese Intermediate I, I found a number of students who had done Japanese Beginners the year prior to me starting uni. They generally did okay, although usually found the classes a little fast. Difficulty, as mentioned, will vary for each person.
The first thing you'll need to learn is the 2 main scripts: Hiragana and Katakana. These are characters that represent the phonetic sounds of the language. (You can find a chart with stroke order with a simple google search). The good thing about Japanese is that each word is pronounced phonetically, so you don't need to worry about changing your pitch up and down like in other languages such as Chinese. I'd recommend watching a few movies in Japanese to get a feel for the sound of the language.
I'm not sure about grading because I haven't done Japanese at uni (yet!) so I'll leave this for someone else to comment on. Best of luck :))
Doing eng/sci here. How did you set up your timetable and what have you found to be the most useful setup? As in did you have all your lectures in one day etc.You can use Excel, Allocate+’s planner feature (the one that shows blocks with all the different preferences) or this site to plan out your timetable. Timetable set up is a bit personal because you might have other obligations e.g. work to add in or you might have to travel for long periods of time to get to campus. Personally, as a BSci student (especially since I did Bio and Chem, probably the two with longest contact hours) and living a reasonably short distance away from campus, I preferred to spread things out so I had two afternoons off after a certain time, one for work and one for study/ group work meetings. All breaks were a minimum of 2hrs as much as I could because 1hr breaks meant I barely sat down for lunch before having to think about leaving again. But this is purely personal preference. You should figure out what works for you.
Also, what is a workshop? I only have two lectures this sem, 4 workshops, 1 tute and 1 prac a week. Is that normal?
Thanks!
Hi,
I was wondering whether seas applications were read by Monash panel who interview you for undergrad med?
Or is the seas department separate from the interview panel!
In short can I be asked anything about my seas application during the interview?
cheers
I know this is a very weird question but do you have any famous musician alumini?idk of many but I think Vance Joy (arts/law) is one
I know this is a very weird question but do you have any famous musician alumini?Here's a list from Wikipedia, so can't verify the trustworthiness of this, but there's a few more than noted here.
Anybody know what time parking permits usually go on sale? I got the email saying the days for each campus and prices but does anyone know whether it's usually midnight that day or later? Also, do they sell out quick? Thanks!Late February/ early March is when they go on sale from recollection. (Site for parking permits is here.) Don't know if they sell out quick and whether it's midnight or later.
I noticed on the website that if you're doing engineering/science double degree, you can graduate with an eng degree earlier than your overall course length (eng in your fourth year of a five year degree) or with a science degree. Anyone have any experience with this?
This is what is known as alternative exits. Some degrees allow you to graduate early with a different degree or one of your degrees as long as you meet the requirements for that degree.
In the case of Engineering (Honours) and Science, you would basically have to choose units as if you were taking a single degree in Eng to be able to finish it in 4 years, or a single degree in Science to be able to finish it in 3 years. Both of these degrees taken as single degrees are normally this long anyway.
The alternative exit choices for Eng/Sci are mainly for people who no longer want to do the double degree, and wish to only study Eng or Sci without having to go through the hassle of transfer applications to move themselves from a double to a single.
Hey
In the off-chance I get an offer into Law as a second round offer, how would I go about re-making my timetable on allocate+, considering preference entry closes on the 29th of January? Would my timetable just be the leftover spots, and therefore a complete mess?
Thanks

Thanks
You would allocate your timetable in the adjustment period that opens on the 5th of February. During this period, any changes made are in real-time and update immediately. Classes that are full cannot be manually allocated, so yes, essentially you are having to pick between times that are 'leftover' or free (you have no choice in any automatically allocated classes as usual). Classes that were previously full have a chance of opening up as students move around, and sometimes more class times are added.www is pretty much right. Just wanted to point out that it is possible to switch into a ‘full’ session, although it’s a bit trickier. When you receive your timetable in the adjustment period, ask on Moodle forums to see if you can find someone to swap with you. If you have a lab or a class that is heavily controlled by attendance (e.g. a tute that has an attendance rate), usually you’d be able to swap with that willing classmate via telling the unit coordinators (they usually post early and say who to contact and how). The Moodle page will be super helpful to know how to proceed, as some will also tell you to (nicely) email the Allocate+ people to fix this on your timetable after fixing in class, so that everything is official.
Edit: Should probably make clear I haven't experienced this myself, but you may be given a randomly allocated timetable first, then you can adjust it like everyone else in the adjustment period.

It looks like they're introducing a built in swapping system on Allocate+ this year!I used this (SwapMe) last semester, and basically you select the class you want to swap from, and the time you want to swap to, and the system tries to match you with someone wanting the opposite swap. Once they've found someone, the swap is made. I believe you can also access this via Allocate+ itself - there should be a "request swap" option next to any full class :)
'Submit a swap request' under this link.
What do you exactly mean by full session?The classes that are marked "full" or are at maximum capacity.

Hey guys,I'm betting the numbers are different because scholarships provide another ID since it's usually through the scholarships portal, which is separate from WES from recollection. In this case, I'd probably look at contacting Monash Connect and have a look into it as soon as you can. :)
So fortunately I got offered a scholarship for Monash & a course offer. I've accepted the scholarship like agesss ago before course offers came out. Looking at the WES page, my scholarship thing isn't there on the 'fees & scholarship' page. I've noticed that my student ID is different from the email saying that i've accepted the offer to the one written on my account. Who do I contact? :) Thanks heaps guys!
hello! i was just wondering if there were any 'rules' when submitting your own photo for the monash ID - like. should you go for passport style / school photo-ish / anything where they can see your face / more professional, etc, etc?I did my photo before the self service system kicked in, so I may not be 100% updated here. Basically, take a photo as if it were for something semi-professional, like a driver's license (including L's and P's), Working with Children Check, work ID or, if you've had none of those experiences, imagine a school ID photo but you're in casual dress. You can smile, you can have a bit of make up if you like, but it needs to be a recent portrait photo of you facing the camera. I think they also ask for (or prefer) plain background and your face to be at least relatively clearly depicted in the photo. You also need to ensure the photo itself is not higher than a certain size file.
thanks :3

hello! i was just wondering if there were any 'rules' when submitting your own photo for the monash ID - like. should you go for passport style / school photo-ish / anything where they can see your face / more professional, etc, etc?I did mine at home on the plainest background I could find (the pale yellow wall in the hallway near my room actually). Only regret is that I didn't like how my glasses glared so I took them off for the picture, and the exam officials now always ask me to look up to check the ID when I wear them to an exam ^-^
thanks :3
thank you to all who answered my photo question!!not sure on whether on the terms on getting the text but it would be best to wait until week 1 of uni until you start buying textbooks since your unit coordinators will let you know whether they are necessary and how much you will use them.
i actually have another (unrelated) one haha: i have a textbook prescribed for bio and chem, however on the booklists page when i click to see more details it says 'please note, if you are enrolled in [the class] you will receive an e-copy of this text when you begin your course'
does that mean the e-copy will be free, and one would receive it regardless of having/not having bought the physical copy?
What's the difference between Radiation Sciences and Radiography and Medical Imaging, and which one is more geared towards treating cancer patients?
Hey! So I'm doing French Proficient (ATS 2065 + 2066) this year and I read something about a 'course reader' on one of the subject reviews? Apparently there's a new one each year. There's nothing about it on my booklist though - any idea when/if I can get any information about this?Try checking the booklist again closer to semester and, if possible, check out the bookshop on campus to see if there is one. You can also probably ask on the Moodle forums or typing an email to the unit coordinators and ask. Course readers in Arts units generally are lecturer-made notes and/or a collection of readings, so they tend to change with each year with any changes in the curriculum or minor edits due to printing errors and so forth.
Hey again,
I just got an email saying that one of my Wednesday tutorials have been cancelled and I have to change to another one due to low enrolment numbers. This is suuuuuper annoying because my timetable was pretty much perfect. Anyway, I am able to change all my Wednesday tutorials to Friday, but there is one lecture that is only on Wednesdays. Should I just allocate myself to the learning capture thing so that I dont have to show up to it and I can just watch the recordings? Thanks!
That's what I'd do unless you live super close - or watch the livestreams if that's an option so you're less likely to procrastinate it
How do you import your timetable to your google calendar?It's a bit hidden, but here's some screenies.
It's a bit hidden, but here's some screenies.
First load up my.monash and then click the search button:

Then search up "news", news and feeds should show up, click it:

Then go for calendar feeds:

It should take you to this page which will have your timetable link for you to import into google calendar! :)

Hope this helps! :)
Another question, what restrictions are there on the monash google account i.e. not being able to create a youtube account etcThere's none specifically for the Monash Google account, but there is a whole bunch of policies regarding computer and internet use, which you can find here.
Hey guys,prerequisites are probably the most inflexible of things out of the entry requirements so it is very unlikely that you will be offered a place in a course that you don't fulfil prerequisites in - the only way to get in is that you would have to do some sort of bridging course that covers methods and have it accepted/verified by Monash. On the other hand, you can usually get in with ATARs lower than the stated required.
Im graduating next year but I'm already considering uni options right now... yikes!
My question is if I get a high ATAR and want to get into a course that has prerequisites that I don't study... will you still accept me?
For example, the course I want to get into is bachelor of commerce, which requires a prerequisite of 25 SS in methods. Only problem is I'm not doing methods but if I get a high ATAR will you still accept me?
Thanks in advance :)

if I get accepted into the Monash extension program studying accounting and finance, I'll get credit for bachelor of commerce... will those credits be enough for me to get into the course without having studied methods?No I don't think so. As someone who completed MUEP in 2016 it doesn't give you priority in obtaining a position in a course or able to bypass prerequisites although you can allow it to count to your course.
Hey guys,If you're specifically after a BComm at Monash, then I'd recommend:

Hi, how necessary is Top Hat, especially since it's $11 a semester?Could you provide more context? Not exactly sure what you're after.
Could you provide more context? Not exactly sure what you're after.
I think it's sort of like an app that allows you to interact with the lecture, such as giving answers to a question on the pp. I'm just wondering if it's ever been used for say quizzes that go towards your assessment or anything similar that would impact my wam.Ah, sorry about that. They had the MARS system and physical clickers before this (Top Hat is newer), hence why I'm unfamiliar with it. I assume it'd work similarly though. If you have in-lecture assessment in the form of clicker-style questions, it'd most likely be done through Top Hat now. I'd recommend using the Monash Subject Reviews, your handbook entries or unit guides (if available) to assess whether you will have any in-lecture clicker-style questions. Seeing as the uni is asking you to use it, my guess is that they'll tell you in the first lecture if that purchase is necessary and, if it's needed, but actually free (since they cover the cost), then they'll probably give some form of access code to bypass the cost. If it's needed, but the uni doesn't cover the cost, then you'd know through the first lecture and can pay as necessary. Another way to know prior to the first lecture would be to ask via Moodle, if it's available already.

I got an email a couple of days ago with a three page document of things I 'need to go to' for O-Week, spread over 3 days, all from the faculty of Engineering. Does anyone know whether I actually need to show up to any of them, as I was intending to just show up for one day.If there's an introductory lecture for the course or something similar, I'd recommend going to that because a) you can meet people in your course and b) you'll probably get some handy info. If they're trying to make you go on tours of the library or something, you don't really need to go to that unless you want someone to show you around.
When you're submitting assessments and need to provide a student number, is this your student ID (the 8 digit one on your card) or the number in your email?Student ID number from your card :) You can also check your number on WES.
why does the vce existYou can find this information by Googling the course or looking in Monash's course finder. Here's the link for biomed: https://www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2019/biomedical-science-m2003
why is my life so difficult
can i practise medicine without a license lol :D
nah jk
what is the lowest atar monash allowes in their beiomedicine course this year
thnx
Hi, this might be a dumb question, but do we need exercise books or can we just type our notes up? Also I’m guessing it might depend on the class? Thanks!
Hey, I'm doing CHM1011 and so will need a lab-coat and safety glasses. Can I just use any safety-glasses that I can get from say Bunnings or chemical suppliers, or do I have purchase the Monash glasses? ThanksAny safety glasses will do! :)
The minimum eligibility requirements for a course transfer are:BUT I've seen posts on here suggesting that a transfer from Science to Biomed is possible after 6 months/1 year without having done Methods. Would it be the same in my case?
being a current Monash student (you must maintain your enrolment)
meeting the prerequisites for the new course
performing at an appropriate level in your current course
successful completion of at least 12 credit points of a Monash University course.
If I was accepted into Science/Arts next year (first year), would I be able to transfer mid-year into Science Advanced - Research given that I have not done Methods?Typically, when transferring, I see two types of scenarios: (1) you can bypass the prereqs if you transfer or (2) you have to complete an equivalent unit or some sort of bridging course prior to transfer. I think you've got the latter case in this instance, but I'd probably contact Monash to confirm this.
The transfer page says this:
BUT I've seen posts on here suggesting that a transfer from Science to Biomed is possible after 6 months/1 year without having done Methods. Would it be the same in my case?
If so, what effect, if any, would a transfer have on course progression?Would just mean that you might have to do things a bit out of sync since the BSci (Research Adv.) degree follows most of the conventions as the normal BSci, meaning that you'd have to do two first year science sequences and a maths/stats unit sometime throughout the degree.
If the Science Adv. - Research is my ultimate goal should I just begin with a single Science degree?It's really up to you. I'd suggest you research the differences between the two degrees.
Probably a dumb question, but it’s possible to retake units, right? I’m pretty sure I failed the exam for one of my units which was required to pass the unit, and it’s a core subject for one of my minors. I tried adding it on WES, but it says this if I try searching the unit code: ‘This unit is already listed in your enrolment form or has already been completed and therefore cannot be selected more than once. Please submit your enrolment form or select another unit, or contact your faculty for further advice.’ I tried searching by faculty and whatever as well but it didn’t come up. I also tried putting in the unit code for a unit in a different faculty so it’s probably a WES thing? I know people have retaken units before and I can’t find any policy restricting it, but I’m not sure why it’s not working. Anyone know? I’m guessing it’s maybe because WES doesn’t know yet whether I’ve failed or not and won’t let me enrol in the unit this early. If I find out on July 15th whether I passed the exam, and WES let’s me enrol then, (the mid-semester took 2 weeks to get marks back but I don’t know if they’re taking longer for this one) I still have time to select my lecture/tutorial dates right?
Hi Monash,Hey!
What is considered financial disadvantage for SEA's/ Monash guarantee? Is there a specific income? Are family assets considered?
Disadvantaged financial circumstances (low income) or excessive financial obligations, demonstrated by any of the following:
you or your family receive an income-tested Centrelink benefit (e.g. Youth Allowance, Abstudy, Health Care Card or Family Tax Benefit A)
you or your family are facing financial hardship or excessive financial obligation but do not receive a Centrelink benefit (e.g. living on a farm suffering from drought or floods).
Hey guys,Unfortunately, I don't think there will be exactly identical courses (especially on the property/ real estate side of things), although some of the business and economics units (subjects) might be similar. I don't know whether that will change in the next 2 years, however, that's certainly something you can ask during an Open Day or contact the uni directly about. Would be asking about "credit transfers" for a smoother transition, if you do wish to take this path, so you can cut down on costs and time.
My question is will you guys have any new courses starting in 2021 for 2020 graduates (mainly in the business faculty).
I know that there is already a variety of subjects in that faculty and this might seem selfish of myself but i'm hoping to do a double degree of "Bachelor of Commerce & Bachelor of Property and Real Estate" at Deakin Uni (mainly because it doesn't have Methods as a prereq) and then hopefully transferring over to Monash because its Monash lol. So i was wanting to know if Monash would have identical courses so that i am able to transfer over.
Cheers
Are there any decent scholarships available for a student who gets around 98 ATAR with slight financial disadvantage? For example if income is around 50k but assets are high- eg family owns a house (but have a family concession card). I have read the info on the monash website and it seems to vague, any additional info would be appreciated thanks.Depends on what you classify as "decent". For financial disadvantage in general:
Hi does anyone know previous year cut off scores for Monash Engineering Excellence Scholarship? Is it possible to get with low 99 ATAR?Uh, I've forgotten but I've heard it differs a little each year depending on who applies for Engineering. My memory, for some reason or another, has 98.5 remembered, so that might have been the cutoff, but I'd take that number with a huge grain of salt. (I don't trust that number at all.) I think Excellence scholarships are usually considered without SEAS adjustments from memory, as they're usually about achievement. Although, I'm not 100% sure about this being true... I'd ask Monash directly to know whether it's need and achievement based or not to confirm.
Also is year adjusted atar (with seas) used when allocating scholarships?
HelloSeems like a really new course (as in you’ll be a part of the first cohort next year if you do end up studying this), so I haven’t heard much about this. I’d ask Monash directly since it’s so new, but similar courses (e.g. BSci) usually allow students to also take the Dip Lang.
Am I able to pursue a diploma of languages alongside the Bachelor of Applied Data Science Advanced? Also, it seems like I get hardly any choice in what I study and very few elective units until like 3rd year. Can someone confirm this?
Hello Monash, What is your guaranteed entry score for bachelor of bio medicineNot Monash, but a graduate.
I really confused as to whether I can Major in Finance and Psychology both if I complete the Commerce/Science double degree. Whenever I click on one of the majors it says I need to do a double degree with 8 free unitsHmm... you should be able to. Having a quick look at the course map for the BComm/Sci double degree and at both majors (whether psych will be accredited or not), I can see how both would fit. However, I didn’t check if all the prerequisite units are covered, but usually this combination should be possible.
Hi there is it possible to get both the vice chancellors scholarship for excellence and the monash mentors scholarship?I was a Monash Access Mentor and had an offer for vice chancellors scholarship for excellence but when I asked the people in charge of scholarships about my community leaders scholarship they got rid of my excellence one - I should've chased them up on this but I didn't. I do however know of someone who got a merit scholarship and the community leaders scholarship so that would indicate that you can hold both. I recommend directly asking Monash University about this to be sure.
Hi current Y12 student here, not sure if this is the right place to ask but I was wondering what are the tangible differences between a regular Biomedical Science and Biomed scholars degree? I know the scholars has a higher atar cutoff and the opportunity for scholarships, but I'm trying to decide whether it's worth applying for both or whether it would be fine just applying for regular biomed only.
Thanks

If I'm doing a 4 year degree + a DipLang, I would finish in 5 years.According to this list, it looks like these units are held overseas and not in Victoria, if you want to do them in the summer semester. I suppose if you’re willing to do them abroad, it might work. Would probably contact and ask Monash Connect if you’re not a uni student, or visit the Arts Faculty Student Services, if you’re a Monash student.
Is it possible to take the 4 Chinese units relevant to me, that are offered as a Summer unit(ATS2003, ATS2004, ATS3005 and ATS3006), as Summer units over sequential Summer A periods and effectively reduce the course completion time to 4 years again?
For the Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine, what was the interview/place offer ratio last year for non-rural direct entry Year 12 applicants?I did find this, which states that just under 1000 people are interviewed (total) and there are just over 200 spots total, with the majority (approx. 185 people for non-rural direct entry for first year med in 2018) being non-rural direct entry. (These last two stats I got elsewhere.) Thus, the ratio is around 1 in 5, if these stats are accurate.
hi1. Not too sure. Usually scholarships tend to be a bit more strict, so I assume it’s be a raw ATAR of 98 only (i.e. SEAS excluded), but someone else who knows more can clarify this. My assumption might be wrong.
I just had a couple of questions please
1.Monash biomed discovery scholarship: can you still get this scholarship even if you don't get a 98 atar but manage to get into the scholars programme through seas
2.Does everyone who
has experienced financial disadvantage get the Monash Guarantee or is there a minimum threshold of financial disadvantage you need to have e.g person A gets more Centrelink benefits for the same category or multiple categoriesthan b so only A gets the guarantee and not b
cheers
Not at Monash, but there's no way it can be 100% accurate, given the scaling will depend on your cohort (presumably for this year or some other time in the future). FWIW, I tried putting my 2016/2015 results in and got exactly 1 percent lower (I got mid 98, it gave me mid 97). Just use it as a rough guide and spend the rest of your study time productively :)
I was wondering how much time you had to accept your Monash course offer during jan rounds please as I am flying on the day the offers are released...do the offers lapse in a day or do we have more time
if I enrol a day later will I be at a disadvantage in terms of time tables or are the timetable windows opening later on
hopefully I can make it into the course :o
thanks for all the help
I was wondering how much time you had to accept your Monash course offer during jan rounds please as I am flying on the day the offers are released...do the offers lapse in a day or do we have more timeIt used to be about a week or a fortnight (I forget which) that the unis give you to accept or reject your offer. Given that there’s a December round starting this year for selected courses, I’m going to play it safe and say it’s more likely to be a week to accept/ reject your offers this year.

Hello Atar Notes,As per here and here, you may have both simultaneously if the two scholarships are one merit and one equity scholarship, but unfortunately I can't seem to determine whether they're classified as merit and/or equity. I'd probably contact Access Monash, Monash Connect or the Coursework Scholarships Unit to get a more concrete answer. My guess is that the Community Leaders Scholarship is equity and the Vice Chancellor's is more merit, but possibly merity-equity. As I said, I'm not sure.
I was wondering whether it is possible to have the Monash Community Leaders Scholarship ($4000 for one year) and the Vice Chancellors Scholarship for Excellence at the same time ($6000 for duration of degree)? I would really appreciate if someone could give me a definite answer or if you know of anyone holding both of these scholarships.
Thanks in advance :) :) :)
For the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship for Excellence, is financial disadvantage sufficient or do we require an additional disadvantage?
Hi, I'm doing a health science degree, so I was wondering is it better to have a double minor or just a single major?Depends on your personal choice. Single major and double minor are both valid choices, as long as you complete the appropriate units (including prerequisite units), can fit everything in and fulfil your course requirements.
Thanks
HiI'm not sure, but it looks like it may be a yes to the Biomed + Master of Ultrasound pathway. I'd recommend double checking with Monash Connect either via phone or visiting them in person to confirm. Here's a link to their contact details. You can also call 1800 MONASH during the extended hours for help.
Can I do biomed and then do master of ultrasound to practise as a sonographer or can I only do the masters having done a bachelor's of medical imaging and radiography?
Thanks
hi,Biomed/law isnt too random actually. I know a few people who are currently in that degree. They are both two worthwhile degrees.
I just finished school, and I'm kinda stuck between deciding what I want to study next year. at the moment, I'm considering either biomed + law or biomed + engineering double degree. I want to keep med as a postgrad option at monash which is why I'm doing biomed, and I feel like it's better to study another course at the same time to keep my options open. plus, I might not even decide to study med, if all goes well and there are job prospects from whatever double degree I choose. I just wanted to ask if studying biomed + law would be a reasonable double degree option? some people have said that it's such a random, broad option (and pointless? ) and that it would be better to study bio+eng...
hope my question makes sense lol
Hi! what if I don't achieve the prerequisites for my selected course? such as the ATAR is a little bit off, is there any other way into the course which does not end up me having to wait until 2021?The requirements of prerequisites are much more rigid than the ATAR requirement so I would say it is unlikely to get a course offer if you don't meet the prerequisites. That is because if you don't meet these criteria you are automatically not considered for the course - no matter what atar you get.
Hi! what if I don't achieve the prerequisites for my selected course? such as the ATAR is a little bit off, is there any other way into the course which does not end up me having to wait until 2021?By prerequisites, did you mean you got a lower ATAR than the lowest selection rank, or did you mean you got a lower raw SS for a prerequisite subject for that course? Usually when someone talks about prerequisites, they mean subject, but your second sentence suggests otherwise.
Hey. If i'm planning to go into teaching VCE economics after completing an undergrad and then a masters in teaching, is it acceptable to minor in economics and major is something such as finance, and still qualify to teach economics? Or would I need to major in economics to teach the subject at a vce level
The requirements to be qualified (in the eyes of the Victorian Institute of Teaching) to teach Economics is at least a minor in it. Do keep in mind that if you wish to specialise in Secondary Education (without Primary), then you require at least 2 specialisation areas - that would be Economics and something else.
I noticed you're hoping on Science - if you are planning to teach Psychology too, be aware that under the MTeaching at Monash, you cannot do the relevant units to be qualified for it. Monash for some reason appears to restrict it to only students who are doing the undergraduate double degree in Education (unsure about other universities). If this would cause a bit of a hitch in your plans, I suggest reading this page to see what specialisations are available at Monash (including the links included to the VIT requirements) and looking up other MTeaching courses at other universities.
Edit: Further, according to the link above, (if you only intend to specialise in Secondary) 1 of your 2 specialisations must have a major backing it, and the other at least has a minor, so even though they only require a minor for Economics, your combination of areas should not have minors backing both of them (at least for Monash).
I recommend contacting the Education faculty at Monash to enquire about the MTeaching and your specific aspirations if you wish to do the course there.
Yo how unlikely is it that I will get second round offer for Halls - clayton urban community :-\Unsure of when second round offers are made but you do have a chance. There's a number of people who don't end up accepting their offer for whatever reason. Depends whereabouts your name is on the list given it's a first in best dressed sort of thing afaik.
Missed out on first round and I have heard things like very few people get second round offer (overwhelming majority of places are filled up by those who received first round offers)
I do have back up plans in case I don't get into halls but just want to know what my chances are like :P
It does not matter what uni you go to do your MTeach, as long as you meet their entry requirements (which are usually on par with the guidelines linked), you should be good.
I recently accepted an offer for law/engineering at Monash, I got an atar of 97. However I have changed my mind and want to do engineering/ commerce at Monash which requires 93. I moved it to my number 1 preference. My questions is do I have a good chance of getting engineering/ commerce offer? Did Monash give all their places in December, or are there still places to be offered in Jan? Would I have higher preference due to my higher ATAR? As I heard lots of people get second round offers with scores between 90-93 last year. ThanksBoth courses participated in the december offer round so technically January becomes the "2nd round" for this application cycle. Changing your preferences and putting something else at number 1 will open your options and the university will consider you for a different offer (for the preferences that are higher than the one you received an offer for). Whilst it is likely that you get an 2nd round offer (imo) It is possibly not 100% certain. That is because it is possible everyone accpeted the december offers and/or the number of 2nd round offers is not enough for your to get a place e.g. the offers goes to 97+ ATARs.
Do you recommend doing a workshop and practical back to back? I have to do a practical and workshop either back to back from 10am to 3pm or have a giant 3 hour gap in between the two. I'm wondering if anyone would be able to give some tips as to which option would be better? Personally, the 3 hour gap is more appealing to me because there is a break (and it's just during lunch time), but I also don't know what to do at uni for 3 hours apart from studyingPersonally i would also go with the 3 hour break. Although this this depends on the person. I didnt really mind staying at uni for long hours but some people like just getting in and out in the shortest period of time.
(In reality, how much time do you get between classes if you have them back to back?)
Thanks!
