Hi,
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.
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.

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 matchaleaf,
 
The 5 years integrated Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)/Master of Pharmacy and the 3 years Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science degree programs both require Chemistry and Higher Level Mathematics (Australian Year 12 equivalent) as prerequisites for entry. Biology is desirable but it is not a formal course prerequisite. Whilst there is Biology and an understanding of Mathematics applied in these courses, Chemistry is more prevalent. For example, in Pharmaceutical Science you will choose from a specialisation in Formulation Science, Medicinal Chemistry or Drug Discovery Biology. Contact hours comprise of approximately 23-25 class/face-to-face contact hours per week. This includes lectures, labs and tutorials for both course options, but does not include self-study that you will be required to complete out of class. Hope the information helps!  :)
 
Monash is also Australia's leading Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences! In regards to career prospects, although Pharmaceutical Science is primarily focused on understanding medicines, our graduates can be found in industries from paint and coatings to cosmetics to food manufacturing to name a few. In the Pharmacy degree, it's not just about dispensing medicines in a corner pharmacy or working as a scientist in a research laboratory. Career opportunities include: working in community, cruise ships, entrepreneur, hospitals and in the field such as military and humanitarian efforts.

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,
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? 
Thanks

Hi khimberleigh,
 
Conversion into the 7-point grading scale is processed at point of application only, Monash does not provide a conversion formula to applicants as the scale considers a number of variables and is determined by the faculty. Our faculty admissions team will convert your university grades into a 7 point scale on submission of your formal course application. You can contact the team using the contact details listed:  https://www.monash.edu/law/about-us/contact/future-students-contacts Hope it helps.

Hi girl1234,
 
In the Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Marketing double degree, you can certainly choose to major in either Human Resource Management OR Business Management within the Business component of this double degree. However, there are not enough elective units to major in two areas in the Business component as a major is 8 units (48 credit points). See the course map for an illustration of how the course may look over the 4 years: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/maps/map-b2013.pdf   Hope this is helpful.

Hello HasibA,
 
The option to study units across different campuses will depend on the individual course(s) and you may also need to seek permission from the managing faculty. As an example, in the Business Specialist degree, all units are completed at the Caulfield campus as Business units are generally only delivered at Caulfield. If you are choosing a double degree where one course is delivered at Caulfield and one course delivered at Clayton, you may be interested to know that a free inter-campus shuttle bus service for Monash students operates regularly between the Clayton and Caulfield campuses! :)

Hello gameboy99,
 
Biomedical Scientists explore the main principles of how the human body works in an effort to find new ways to cure or treat disease. In the Monash Bachelor of Biomedical Science degree you will focus on five central themes: Molecular and Cellular Biology, Body Systems, Infection and Immunity, Disease and Society, and Diagnostic and Research Tools. These themes are interwoven in units throughout the course. See the Course Map for further illustration of the course structure over the 3 year program:  http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/maps/map-m2003.pdf
 
In this course, you have 8 free elective subjects in addition to the core Biomedical Science units. Subsequently, contact hours/workload will depend on the individual subjects you choose to undertake. As a rough indication, you can expect approximately 20-24 contact/class hours per week not including self-study that you will complete out of class. In 2016, the clearly-in ATAR for this course 94.90. ATAR is indicative only and can move up or down each year depending on a number of factors such as demand for the course and the quality of applicants who apply. The course prerequisites in addition to English are Chemistry and one of Higher Level Mathematics or Physics (all Australian Year 12 equivalent).
 
Graduates of Biomedical Science can consider career opportunities in: Medical Research (e.g. CSIRO, Hospitals, Research Institutes), Postgraduate studies (e.g. PhD, Paramedics, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Nutrition, etc.), Work in Industry e.g. Pharmaceutical Companies (Marketing or Sales), Product Testing, Biomedical Equipment Testing and Sales, etc.) to name just a few. Finally, if you are interested in the Graduate Entry Medicine at Monash, undertaking the Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash will provide the best pathway option with at least 50 places being reserved in the course for Monash Biomedical Science graduates (as of 2017). See the Graduate Entry Medicine website for further information and updates and download the Graduate Entry Medicine FAQ’s document: http://med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/documents/grad-entry-medicine-faq-mar-2016.pdf

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!
