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.

One thing to note is that you have calculated the full fee for the course. If you are an international student, then yes, that is the fee you will have to pay (which considering that it is a 5 year medical degree, is around expected). If you are a domestic (i.e. not international) student, you will be admitted to the MD in a Commonwealth supported place (CSP), meaning the government will pay for a large portion of the tuition. Therefore, if you are a domestic student, you should instead be calculating your contribution using this calculator.

Hope that helps :)

Hello AskMonash team

Is it possible to transfer into the Pharmacy course after completing second year BSc?

I know there is the Graduate Entry however I would like to know if second year students transfer into the course the same way as a first year student.

(Considering the requirements being met)

Hi Ask Monash,
What are the possible pathways to bachelor of commerce/computer science or just computer science without studying math methods in year 12, but instead further mathematics?

Hello Monash!

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! :)
[1] It doesn't guarantee you a place in the course.
According to a Monash presentation, it will guarantee you an interview. I'm not sure about the accuracy of this statement, but traditionally it has been thought the students under the Monash Guarantee then follow a different path from regular entry to be admitted to the course. Therefore, you are still competing to get a place through the interview, but not with the main cohort, but rather everyone else that got the Monash Guarantee.

[2] If your UMAT score is below 175 you will not qualify for the Monash Guarantee regardless of your ATAR. Similarly, you must have a minimum of 50th percentile in each of Section 1, 2 and 3 regardless of your UMAT score and ATAR.
The only situation in which a high ATAR compensates for a low UMAT and vice versa, is within the pool of applicants for the interview. E.g. if you have a 96 ATAR and a 100th percentile, you might be in the same 'rank' during the Interviews as someone who got a 98 ATAR and 90th percentile or something.

[3] You can Google that yourself.

[4] Yes, it is true. And no, there hasn't. It is my understanding that any applicant who doesn't meet the 50-50-50 requirement is disqualified from entry.
Sometimes you make choices, and sometimes choices make you.

Hi Monash!

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!

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.

According to the Admissions Policy:
1. Preexisting residents are given first priority (their application opening date is also earlier)
2. Students applying to stay for the whole two semesters are given preference overt hose applying for shorter stays
3. For new residents, full-time students are given priority over part-time or distance students
4. New residents are served on a "first in, first served" basis

In terms of individual needs:
> Students with disabilities can apply to have accessible rooms, and may have a carer live in the residence if applicable
> Students from low-income backgrounds under thresholds outlined under the National Rental Affordability Scheme can access Briggs and Jackomos Halls in the Urban Community. This essentially means the applicant pool for Briggs/Jackomos is smaller and gives low income students greater chance of being able to stay affordably on campus.
> I'm not sure about International or regional/rural students, but I would imagine they (along with Aboriginal/Indigenous-identifying individuals and other groups) would have access to more accommodation scholarships etc.
Sometimes you make choices, and sometimes choices make you.

Dear Monash University,
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

Hi,

The Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash is classed as a "comprehensive" course, meaning that you don't pick a major, but instead do a bit of everything (neuroscience included). In particular, the main unit/subject covering neurobiology in the course is BMS1052. However, you can also select more advanced neuroscience units in third year as electives.

Hope that helps :)

Hey Monash,
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 :)

seeing as Ask Monash hasn't been active for ~2 months I'll try to answer this for you.

1. To get into honours you will need at least a 70+ average and then for a PhD you generally need 80+ in your honours year you might be able to get away with high 70's.
2. Not sure - Will depend on the person, some will find it difficult hence "competitive" whilst others may stroll in.
3. not sure wouldn't think so
4. I'm doing biomed now and I wouldn't say it's competitive - everyone helps each other out and it's great to see everyone do well.

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!

Biomed at monash only accept transfers at the start of every year, and they generally look at prereqs as well so it's not a 100% guarantee that you'll get in. If you work hard enough in first year and do all the prereq equivalent for methods you'll have a good chance of getting in. Check with monash if you have to.

Is it possible to complete the psychology extended major in the Sci/Biomed double? What about in the Biomed scholars degree? And in the Biomed single?

Is it possible to complete the graduate entry medicine prerequisite units if also completing an extended major in psychology in Sci/Arts?

What is the difference between a Graduate Diploma of Psychology Advanced and a Graduate Diploma in Professional Psychology? Are they both full fee?

Can you do 2 Sci majors and 2 Arts majors in a Sci/Arts degree?

How much time does a Diploma of Languages alongside a 4 year double degree add?

Are the ATAR requirements for scholarships before or after adjustments?
