Hi Monash! I'm interested in radiation science at Monash, however I am just wondering what the job prospects are after I graduate? Is it going to be easy to get a job in this degree? Also does this course have any placement? Thanks in advance.

I just learnt that a Bachelor of Radiation Science even exists, so thanks. I also found this flyer that may help answer most of those questions. I won’t say it’s easy or hard because I’m not too sure myself and it’s dependent on a lot of factors apart from your degree.

Hi Monash,
I was wondering, if my family receives Family Tax Benefit A and B, does this qualify as “low” or “medium-low” in terms of the SEAS category (as per Monash SEAS calculator)? Keep in mind I didn’t write anything extra for my application besides attach the Centrelink statements. If it helps, only one of my parents work. Thanks.

Providing the paperwork should’ve been fine. I’m not sure whether it’s low or medium low according to it, but I guess you can try both. Sorry that that’s not vrry helpful but I can’t confidently say which one it is.

Hello!
I just wanted to ask if Monash had any courses to do with audiology or speech pathology? I couldn't find anything when I was researching and its a course I finally found myself being interested in.
Thanks (:

Hey there,

From what I'm aware, Monash does not offer study in audiology or speech pathology, however there are other institutions (e.g. University of Melbourne, LaTrobe) that do offer it, either at Bachelor or Masters levels.

Hope that helps

Hi, I was asking about this same topic a couple of days ago but I'm still contemplating my chances at a merit scholarship. Is there anyone who has had experience receiving a scholarship relatively late? Or does anyone know much about the timeline in terms of second round/later offers? I haven't received anything yet but since my ATAR is around the (suggested) cut off (99.75) I thought I may scrape in to second round or later offers?
If anyone has any info or experience re. this, please pass it on! Thanks so much.

Hey so I’m wondering how scholarships work because I have a peer who has been offered a scholarship from Monash but Monash was not even her top 5 preference list. Monash is 2nd in my preference list and I have obtained a higher ATAR than my peer, we were from the same high school and I also received Monash guarantee, so I am curious as to why I was not offered the same scholarship? ( we put the same course down for Monash)

Hi there! I’m not sure what I want to do yet, so would a bachelor of science be a good choice to keep my options open? Could I then be able to transfer to another course in my second year for example?

Hey there! So I’ve just completed the Bachelor of Science (Honours), so I can help here. If you’re at all interested in science and don’t know what to do, it’s fine to jump into a broad degree like this one until you figure things out. As for transferring, you can transfer between semesters as long as you’re competitive enough (usually uni grades must be 70+ WAM, except after first semester first year where ATAR probably will be considered too). After first semester, you can transfer into most courses excluding medicine and most related specialist health sciences (e.g. radiography).

People aren’t always granted scholarships according to ATAR and preference number. In fact, many of them consider your financial situation and any other disadvantages you may have stumbled across or other factors over ATAR. If the scholarship your friend received isn’t a merit/ excellence scholarship, that might be the answer. Another reason could just be because only a few scholarships have been offered so far and yours just hasn’t arrived yet. If it is a merit/excellence scholarship, it’s probably because all offers aren’t out and you’ve not been contacted yet.

Not all excellence scholarship offers are out yet. As Monash can’t contact everyone in one day, they often offer it over several days. Since Friday was the first and only previous business day this round*, you’ll just have to wait and see. If you’re guessing you’re getting one in the second round, I don’t know if/ when that will happen, but please wait patiently for at least a couple of weeks. Sorry that’s not a very helpful answer.

EDIT: *so far

Hey Monash,

I just got a scholarship offer. I read in the info that it’s rare to get another scholarship offer to a higher value. Do you know at all if this is generally true? Thank you ☺️

[trumartina]

hey!
On VTAC there is a section that says 'personal statement' .Do we need to fill that in to apply for a course at Monash?

thanks!

From what I know, you can’t get two merit or academic scholarships but you can get something like a community/ privately funded scholarship and a merit scholarship (where the former may be of higher value), but this is generally rare. So I think it’s a (hesitant) yes to your question. (Don’t quote me on that.)

Not unless you need to for your course (check entry requirements of your course or VTAC course search), or you are super concerned about it. You might need to fill it out if you’re attempting to get into a degree involving fine arts, design, drama and these sorts of arts (not the humanities), or something that requires an interview for entry (excluding med).

Hey Monash,

Sorry for so many questions recently!

But do we have to apply for subject bonus points or does the university do this before 19th Jan without us knowing?
Like I mean do we have to submit any application or any documents to claim for subject bonuses just to be safe?

Thank you very much!

Bonus aggregate points are considered automatically.

Hey Monash,

How accurate is the SEAS calculator on your website? It has given me an estimated 99.95 assuming I achieve a 99.00 next year which is a pretty significant boost.

Thanks 

Assuming you’ve entered correct information then it should be fairly accurate. 99 to 99.95 isn’t really that big of a jump - obviously a bit different because I applied through UAC and to a different university but my 90.8 went to a 96.8, so I wouldn’t say that going from 99 to 99.95 would be an unreasonable jump.

Hi Monash,
When will the work experience for Year 10 be out for 2019 (next year)? I've emailed "Laura Reid" two weeks ago, who is apparently in charge of extra curricular but haven't received anything.
Thanks
