Hi Syubi,
 
Congratulations on receiving an offer for the Commerce/Science double degree!
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you ... 
Although some of the first year units from the Behavioural Commerce and Psychology majors overlap, you would still need to complete 192 credit points of study to satisfy the minimum course requirements. In other words, you will need to complete a couple of additional units within the faculty to meet this requirement.
 
We highly encourage you to contact your managing faculty directly so they can provide guidance on whether you are completing the correct units to satisfy the overall course requirements. To enquire online, please submit an ask.monash request through WES.
 
I hope this helps.

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?

Monash student here, could you guys please offer a llive chat option like Melbourne and Deakin uni have?

Would make our lives much easier as emails aren't always followed up on or it takes time

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-you

Bump.  Anyone? It's my last day to accept

This question is best answered by a Monash representative. For a quick response, I would recommend calling the university directly on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274)

Hi Sam M,
 
As per the course requirements outlined in the 2018 Handbook, you will need to complete 96 credit points from both the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts – 192 credit points in total to satisfy the conditions of this course. This can be broken down into the following:
 
Bachelor of Science: complete 6 science listed units (36 points) at level 1, and 10 science listed units (60 points) at levels 2 and 3 with a minimum of four (24 points) at level 3.
Bachelor of Arts: complete no more than 6 level 1 arts units (36 points) and at least 36 points at level 3 of which at least 24 points must be arts units.
 
If you are unsure, please speak with a Course Advisor from Science Student Services to ensure that you have chosen the correct sequence of units. Contact details: http://www.monash.edu/science/current-students/help-and-support.
 
Hope this helps!

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, I'm doing a bachelor of science today (majoring in psychology). Today at orientation, I realised that literally everyone I talked to is taking science along with another degree (double-degree) and has made me rethink my decision to do only a single degree. I know that I want to major in psychology and minor in physiology. But I'm wondering what other degree I should take science with to maximise my employability in psychology. I know it's not necessary for me to do a double degree, but if I were to do it, I would like to know what options would be good for me. Thank you !!

Hi, just a quick question. How do you watch live streamed lectures?
I'm allocated for one later today, but have no idea what I need to open to watch it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sam M,
You should have received an email from the university (to your university email address) which addresses this. To answer your question, live streaming will be accessible on the Moodle page for the unit, either via a link to Panopto, or in the Panopto pane on the right-hand side of the page.

Hope this helps

Hi heyi,

As per this link (see bottom of page):

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.

Hope this helps

Hey monash,

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!

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.
