Hey everyone! I am applying for a Bachelor of Engineering to begin next year. In the ‘Enrolled ATAR Distribution 2017’ document thing on the website, it shows the atar information relating and number of people admitted to each course. I noticed it had a Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Engineering course (double degree both in engineering?!). Is this possible? I don’t think it’s on 2018’s report but it’s definitely in 2017’s and I’m really interested in it.

Thank you!
Hey there,

I believe you are referring to the Bachelor-Masters of Engineering accelerated pathway, which allows you to complete both the bachelor and masters (advanced engineering) qualifications in 5 years.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks for the reply! But no it’s not, it’s different to the masters, it’s two undergraduate degrees in engineering. How do I attach a photo? Thanks

Hey again,

I actually think this may be a typo! I suspect that is supposed to be the double degree in engineering and law. If you look at the number of enrolments (12), and compare it to engineering/law on a different page, you'll see that the numbers match up. The ATAR distribution looks to be indicative of law as well. In other words, from my knowledge, I don't think such a double degree exists.

Hope that clears things up :)

Hi!

I'm starting uni next year, and am planning on doing a double degree at Monash. I've been looking at articles on the benefits of studying part time, and I'm just wondering in terms of the time spent at uni and studying, what's the difference between full and part time studying?

Thanks!

4-5 units per semester as opposed to 1-2-3. If you're on a study visa or receive Centrelink benefits (e.g. Youth Allowance), you need to be careful with this decision as this can affect your eligibility for YA (or may not meet the conditions of a visa). So something that can take 4 years could take 6-8 depending on how many units you take.

Part time would obviously be beneficial in the sense that you'd have less units to deal with per semester... but it'd add at least 1 year to your course duration. Apart from the above considerations, fees are indexed so you may end up actually worse off financially as opposed to somebody who does the full time load.

With uni subjects, you'll find that in a lot of cases, they lead onto further subjects which have prerequisites. Honestly, i'd advise against part-time unless there are serious circumstances which require you to go part-time (e.g. needing to work to support yourself, looking after a sick relative etc). Especially if you plan on doing a double degree.

My advice would be to look at the course map for your course - which will tell you what a full time load looks like.

Sounds like full time is probably the better option!

Thanks a lot, that was really helpful  :)

Hey again Monash,

Are the merit scholarships based on raw ATAR or SEAS calculated ATAR? And if possible do you know what the cut off was for the Engineering Excellence Scholarship last year (or past few years).

Thanks :)

all merit scholarships are based on your academic scores only (without any modification) so I'd guess it's your raw ATAR that counts. Monash doesn't disclose their cutoffs for scholarships too so we wouldn't actually know.

Just checking this link here:
https://www.monash.edu/study/fees-scholarships/scholarships/find-a-scholarship/engineering-excellence-4093A
It says that you should have a minimum ATAR of 98 to be considered.

Thanks! I have read that, just curious if you had info on the lowest ATAR admitted that’s all :)

Hi, I'm also enquiring about merit scholarships. I know anyone with 98+ is eligible but does anyone have a good idea of what kind of ATAR is needed to get one? And when are they offered?
Also, I believe I've applied for 2 different Monash courses, one is more competitive than the other. Will my chances of being offered the scholarship differ depending not the course (ie could I receive it for one course and not the other?), or is it just awarded to the top 40 ATARs between 99.95 and 98?
Thanks.

Not sure about ATAR aside from what has already been said. Merit scholarships are generally competitive. Usually fairly early in the game (close to now), but I just checked and I have my info wrong - see here for correct timeframe.

Edit (after after person’s edit):

AFAIK, you just need to have Monash as a preference at time of consideration and top 40 of those = potentially get merit scholarship.
