Hi monash

I was just wondering if anyone has done the intensive summer program in Monash Parkville for the  graduate entry for Pharmacy? Or if anyone can tell me what is covered during those 4 weeks?

Hi, what's the difference between Computer Science and Information Technology?

I'm currently doing a double degree with Computer Science and thought that it was about learning programming etc. Looks like Comp Sci is more into looking at algorithms and sorting and not specifically focused on the programming... FYI: I am not bad at maths, did Methods and Further in VCE. I understand CompSci requires more maths...

I signed up for Comp Sci because it looked like a better version of IT, and there are better job offers, what do you guys suggest - should I switch to IT, or stick with Comp Sci?

Hi shezz.iazz,
 
Mathematical Methods is not a prerequisite for the 5 year direct-entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) course at Monash University. Year 12 English, Chemistry are the only two prerequisites for this course. Selection will be based on a range of criteria, including overall Year 12 performance, UMAT and Multiple-Mini Interview (MMI). In essence, prerequisites are studies you must have completed to be eligible for selection into our courses. If a subject is not listed as a prerequisite, it will not be required for admission.
 
However, if you would also like to expand your options for our 4 year graduate-entry medicine course, Mathematical Methods may be required for one of the pathway courses. In essence, places in this graduate-entry medicine program will only be open to students who graduate from one of the following programs at Monash University:
- Bachelor of Biomedical Science
- Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)
- Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)
- Bachelor of Science (dependent on completion of designated units).
 
Of the above courses, the Bachelor of Biomedical Science is the recommended course as a pathway into Medicine, with at least 50 of the 75 places reserved for this cohort. The prerequisites for this course include Year 12 English, Chemistry, and one of either Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics or Physics.

For further information, please email [email protected] or call us on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274).


Hi,

On the Monash Uni website for the course Undergraduate Medicine, Mathematical Methods is not a pre requisite. However, does doing mathematical methods have any effect on your chances of getting into medicine?. As I have seen whoever has gotten into medicine at Monash has done mathematical methods. I have also asked Monash Uni representatives at career expos and they have replied with saying Mathematical methods has absolutely no effect on your chances for medicine. I was wondering if you could maybe elaborate more on this or maybe let me know if you do know some people who have gotten into undergraduate medicine at Monash without doing Mathematical methods, I am not asking for their contacts or names but just a rough number of people who have gotten into the course without mathematical methods.

Thank you.

Hi Monash,

Am I allowed to complete more units than required for my course?
For example, if I was to do CHM2990 over the summer semester, would I have to under load by one unit in my second or third year? Or could I take the regular amount of units, having done one more unit than required for my degree?
2015 - 2016: IT Applications [44] | Religion & Society [40] | English Language [37] | Maths Methods [42]  | Physics [42]  | Chemistry [45] | Specialist Maths [41]
ATAR: 99.10
2017 - 2020: BSci Adv Research (Applied & Pure Mathematics) (Honours) @ Monash

Hi, Just wanted to ask that how good is your masters in Data science program. By that i mean is i did my B.Sc in mechanical engineering and since the field of data interests me i wanted to pursue a Masters in Data science at Monash. I will choose the 2 year program and so the main aim of my question is to find out that after 2 years how profficient does your courses makes it students so how much is my employability chance considering that im in the top 10 percentile of the class. Furthermore approximately how many students graduating in Class of 2016 (Masters Data science) have received a job or are pursuing further education  Thanks

Is the 50-50-50 rule still applicable for 2018 potential med students?

Unfortunately, yes they still do. This is from their "Additional Requirements" page:


Prerequisite requirements for Direct Entry Medicine

Just a reminder to all applicants seeking admission into the Direct Entry MD program in 2018 that the requirements for consideration are as follows:
Applicants must have completed Year 12 studies (or VCE equivalent) no more than two years prior, and have not commenced other studies at a tertiary level during that time.
Applicants must have a study score of at least 35 (out of a score of 50) in English as a Second/Additional Language (ESL/EAL) or 30 (out of a score of 50) in English, and at least 30 (out of a score of 50) in Chemistry.
The minimum ATAR to be eligible is 90 but usually, a significantly higher ATAR is required due to the competitive nature of the course.
All applicants must have undertaken the UMAT and have achieved a minimum of 50 for each of the three sections.
Selection for interview will be based on a combination of the UMAT and ATAR results
VCE: (click the links below to view my guides)
2016: Methods [44], Psych [48]
2017: Bio [50], Eng Lang, Chem, Spec
ATAR: 99.75 | UMAT: 88th
2018-2022: Bachelor of Medical Science/Doctor of Medicine @ Monash University

! No longer offering tutoring !

Hi Maya24,
 
Pharmaceutical science graduates have exceptional theoretical knowledge, but they also possess the sort of practical skills that mean they can tackle the challenges of industry straight away.
 
Your focus might be research and development in the pharmaceutical or biomedical industry, or opportunities in the food, agriculture, chemical, or cosmetics industries. You could work as a drug analyst, formulation scientist, industry consultant, development chemist, medicinal chemist, patent attorney, medicine researcher and developer, academic or clinical-trial specialist.
 
You can read more about our Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science at: http://www.monash.edu/pharm/future/courses/pharmaceutical-science.
 
Regarding the current job market, you can explore your options at http://joboutlook.gov.au/.
 
I hope this helps! :)

What careers can a degree in pharmaceutical science lead you too and how is the job market?

Hi Kiki,
 
The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education (Honours) double degree is a 4.25 year course, delivered in 4 years full time. As part of this course, you will complete the required education subjects and placement with relevance to either Primary education or Secondary education.
 
In addition to the above, you will need to complete at least one major (8 units) and one minor (4 units) from the Faculty of Arts. You will have 4 additional arts elective units, where you can focus on turning the Arts minor into a second major, study a language or choose further units of your interest from the Faculty of Arts. You can view the course map at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/maps/map-d3002.pdf.
 
If alongside this double degree you wish to undertake a language (not as part of the Bachelor of Arts units), you can do so through a concurrent Diploma of Languages (sequence of 8 language units). This will mean that the total course duration of the double degree (4 years full time) could be extended by up to an additional year. In regards to fees for these additional units, you will be charged in accordance to when you study each unit. In 2017, the total fees are approximately A$6,349 for the 8 language units.
 
If you have any further questions regarding your options, we would encourage you to submit an online enquiry (https://register.monash.edu/enquiry/) so that we can provide you with more specific information depending on your circumstance and areas of interest.
 

Hi Monash! I want to do a double degree with teaching and arts. Is it true I can turn my four electives into a minor? Also, how much is the language diploma and what does it mean when we study it 'co-currently'? So is it overload?

Hi MA123,
 
If you are a current Monash University student, we would encourage you to seek advice from the Faculty of Information Technology directly.
 
Student Services is available at:
Monash University, Clayton Campus
25 Exhibition Walk
 
Alternatively, you may book a course advice appointment at: https://www.monash.edu/it/current-students/course-information/course-advice.
 
I signed up for Comp Sci because it looked like a better version of IT, and there are better job offers, what do you guys suggest - should I switch to IT, or stick with Comp Sci?

FYI: I am not bad at maths, did Methods and Further in VCE. I understand CompSci requires more maths...

Hi,  For domestic applicants, the selection process for direct entry medicine at Clayton consists of the ATAR, UMAT and Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). Applicants are shortlisted for the MMI based on their ATAR and UMAT results. At a minimum applicants are required to achieve a minimum of 50 in each of the 3 sections and must be completed the year prior to commencement the course. In the final shortlisting for offers, all three components are weighted equally.
 
For more information, please download the 2018 International MD Brochure (http://www.med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/documents/2018-monash-md-domestic-brochure-web.pdf) and visit the medicine admissions website (http://www.med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/direct-entry/domestic.html#2).

Is the 50-50-50 rule still applicable for 2018 potential med students?

Hi SaadSyraxx,

The Master of Data Science at Monash University teaches you how to explore data and discover its potential – how to find innovative solutions to real problems in science, business and government, from technology start-ups to global organizations. You learn to manage data and gain an understanding of its impact on society. Graduates may be eligible for membership of the Australian Computer Society (ACS).

This course has the most up-to-date material while maintaining a solid core of established theory and platforms, including Python and R (two of the most popular open-source programming languages for data analysis), Hadoop and Spark (for distributed processing). You also gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art tools and get exposure to key industry players.

In your final semester, you will take part in an Industry Experience team project, working with industry mentors to develop data-driven IT solutions. Or you will undertake a minor-thesis research project, investigating cutting-edge problems under the supervision of internationally recognised researchers.

We do not have a statistical report on how many graduate from 2016 from the Master of Data Science have been successful in getting a job. However, Leaders from the world's most successful companies consistently rate Monash as a preferred university from which to hire graduates according to Timer Higher Education. For more information, please refer to: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/best-universities/graduate-employability-top-universities-australia-ranked-employers.

Hope this helps :)
