Hi pmmenotes,
Monash has a floor of 70 for our courses, but we do offer a number of pathway programs including the Diploma of Higher EdUcation (DoHe) (ATAR 65 and above) for students looking to gain entry into our science or science/educations double degree. We also offer the Diploma of Tertiary Studies (DoTs) (ATAR 50+) for students looking to gain entry into our degrees in business, nursing or education. Other pathway options such as transfer from other institutions and through TAFE are also possible for some courses. Subject bonuses are awarded for some of our courses. Generally they are awarded for students who achieve a study score of more than 40 in a subject relevant to the course.
Hope this helps :)

Hi domjamrisk,
We wanted to be sure we covered everything, so please see responses under each question below ;)


Hi I graduated this year and have a few questions regarding Monash undergraduate courses.

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?
Yes. If you are accepted for Biomedical Science then you qualify for the scholarship.

What is the graduate pathway from Biomedical Sciences into an undergraduate Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD)? Is there a possibility to change after the end of my 2nd year or do i have to complete the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences first? What is the selection criteria, is any possibility to guarantee entry in advance?

It is not possible to transfer after second year. You would need to complete the entire Biomedical degree first. There is no guarantee beyond this as its very competitive. Although 50 out of 75 places for Medical Science/Doctor of Medicine are for Biomed graduates.

Application process via the Biomedical Science pathway
To be eligible to apply for Graduate Entry Medicine via the Biomedical Science pathway applicants must:
-have commenced the Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash University since 2014;
-be on track to complete the 12 core Biomedical Science units from years 1 and 2 of the program by the end of their second semester of their penultimate year: (BMS1011, BMS1021, BMS1031, BMS1042, BMS1052, BMS1062, BMS2011, BMS2021, BMS2031, BMS2042, BMS2052 and BMS2062).
-have achieved an Average Mark (AM) of at least 70 across the core biomedical science units to be ranked for interview.

Hope this helps.

I know i'm hard work ...  :P
any help greatly appreciated!

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 Help.me,
 
Lowest ATAR for Science to receive an offer in 2017 was 75. This is without any bonuses as per Find a course https://www.monash.edu/study/courses/find-a-course/2018/science-s2000. As a general rule someone with an ATAR of 75 would have received bonusing either via SEAS or subject adjustments.
The ATAR Distribution document for Science provides an indication of the number of students who received an offer at the range of ranks.
https://www.monash.edu/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/953189/atar-dist-2017-science.pdf
This will give you an indication of the number of people who received offers below the Clearly-in ATAR.
If you would like to talk through your options, please contact our Monash Connect team: http://www.monash.edu/connect

Hope this helps.

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 :)

Hi jun123,
The process for scholarships is ongoing and Monash issues scholarships into February and beyond, depending on the types of scholarships. There are just 50 scholarships available for Engineering Excellence and they are provided to students with the highest ATAR. We hope this helps but if you need more information, contact Monash Connect on 1800 666 274.

Hi Drewballs,
Congratulations on your offer of a John Gandel Scholarship.
For the Gandel Scholarships, on-campus accommodation is allocated.

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 Gogo14,

Congratulations on receiving the Engineering Excellence Scholarship!

Monash is progressively sending out scholarships and it is possible to receive more than one scholarship offer. In some cases, students are permitted to hold multiple scholarships concurrently. Note, each scholarship may have a separate lapse date.

Moreover, accepting a scholarship offer does not prevent an applicant from receiving further scholarship offers. If there is an instance where concurrent scholarships cannot be held, the Coursework Scholarships Unit will contact the student to discuss which scholarship the student would prefer.

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!
