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.

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?

Hello amandex,
 
If the Monash Business School offers a mid-year (July) intake to domestic students, you can apply from an external university for a course transfer. However, the Monash Business School cannot confirm at this stage if they are offering a mid-year intake. As an example, in 2016 there was no mid-year Bachelor of Commerce intake for domestic students. You can call 1800 MONASH from approximately April to check if the faculty is offering a mid-year intake. If there is no mid-year intake, you can apply through VTAC after one year of study for transfer into the February 2018 intake.
 
Normally, at least a Distinction (70%) average is required to be considered for transfer. You must also satisfy the English and Mathematical Methods prerequisites. Keep in mind that competition for places is often strong and you might need a higher average grade depending on the number and standard of applications received each year. Averages are a guide only. Hope this helps.  :)

Hi moe4babylon,
 
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.
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.

Hello Disappointed,
 
The Monash Guarantee ATAR for the Bachelor of Science is a minimum of 75 and you must also achieve an English subject score of at least 25. If you haven't satisfied these requirements, you may like to consider a pathway program such as the Diploma of Science offered through Monash College.
The Diploma of Science requires a minimum ATAR of at least 65 for entry. Prerequisites are Chemistry and Mathematics (Australian Year 11 or 12 equivalent). Although the English prerequisite is identical to above for the Bachelor of Science, you can consider sitting an English language proficiency test such as the Academic IELTS or Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic to ensure you can satisfy the English prerequisite. Refer to the Monash College entry requirements for English test scores required: https://www.monashcollege.edu.au/courses/diplomas/entry-requirements
 
If you decide to sit an English language proficiency test, you will need to supply your test result to Monash College directly along with a completed direct application form: https://www.monashcollege.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/13160/monash-college-domestic-application-form.pdf
Direct applications for Monash College are assessed only once the VTAC selection has been completed (from 18 January 2017).

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

So if I were to select all relevant subject to the faculty, would I still have to repeat the first year, or could the credit possible satisfy the criteria for me to progress straight into the second year. 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!

Finance is a part of Commerce specialist which is slightly higher than regular commerce.

Hello Cawkashi,
 
The Bachelor of Finance is a specialisation available within the Commerce Specialist degree. The first intake for this specialist degree was February 2016! More information on this course is available in the Unit Handbook: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/B2004.html
 
The ATAR required for entry will be similar to the Bachelor of Commerce single degree (Comprehensive course), but may depend on the specialisation. As a rough guide, the clearly in ATAR for the Commerce single degree in 2016 was 90.3. Prerequisites are Year 12 English and Year 12 Mathematical Methods (VCE study score of at least 25 in each). If Finance/Commerce is your dream course it is still recommended that you include these courses in your VTAC preferences as ATAR scores can move up or down each year depending demand and quality of applicants. If you have submitted a SEAS application, this can also be considered during selection.
 
As a back-up plan, you may like to also consider a Monash College Diploma program such as the Diploma of Business (Commerce stream) which offers entry at a lower ATAR (minimum 70) and provides a pathway into Year 2 of the Commerce Specialist degree at the University. Prerequisites are the same as for the Commerce degree outlined above. For more information: https://www.monashcollege.edu.au/courses/diplomas/business

Hi moe4babylon:
 
Progression to second year is not guaranteed. If you are successful in receiving a course transfer you will need to submit an application for credit, and faculty will consider the amount of credit that can be awarded. However, this cannot be pre-determined. Note: if your ultimate aim is to apply for Graduate Entry Medicine at Monash, please refer to the Ask Monash University response to Post #565 in this same thread.

Hello esthertham58,
 
All domestic students are eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) for applicable courses. At Monash University, all undergraduate degrees are CSP for domestic students. Students in a CSP pay a lower course fee called the Student Contribution Amount (SCA). Of those eligible for a CSP, Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders are eligible for HECS-HELP. This is a government loan and discount scheme allowing you to defer some or all of your SCA.
 
At postgraduate level, CSP is limited and not always available. Please check your courses of interest on the study at Monash website: http://www.study.monash fees are located in the entry requirements section.
 
If a course does not offer CSP, you will pay domestic full-fees. For those enrolled in a domestic full-fee place, FEE-HELP a government loan scheme similar to HECS-HELP, is available for eligible students. See the FEE-HELP website for more details: http://studyassist.gov.au/sites/studyassist/helppayingmyfees/fee-help/pages/fee-help-

Hi,

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   :)
