Hi tchaikno6 ,
 
If your enquiry is referring to the Exchange Programs in Japan, please contact Dr Rikki Campbell, the International Education Coordinator from Monash Abroad directly. Dr Campbell can be reached via email: [email protected] or phone: (03) 9905 3076.

Also for Japanese Universities specifically, most of them say: English - J-PAC

Does that mean you need to be doing like a major or something in Japanese to be able to go to these universities or can you just pass a proficiency test and be allowed to go?

Hi, tchaikno6,

Here's some responses for you.
 
1. Students travel to the Monash Clayton campus from all around Melbourne on a regular basis. It is possible to maintain a healthy lifestyle between study, work and personal life. To connect with other students and for advice on how to transition into university life, visit: http://www.monash.edu/study/student-life.
 
2. Most of our merit-based scholarships do not require a separate application to be submitted. Eligible applicants who apply for a Monash course through VTAC will automatically be considered.
 
One exception to this is the ‘Monash Communitiy Leaders Scholarship’, where it is awarded based on academic achievement, Access Monash Mentor application and interview performance. To be considered for this scholarship, you need to apply to become an Access Monash Mentor by 31 October 2017
 
You can view the range of scholarships we offer at: http://www.monash.edu/study/fees-scholarships/scholarships/find-a-scholarship.
 
3. There are a couple of opportunities available to students who wish to study overseas with Monash University, Monash Exchange, or Semester Study Abroad.
 
Through Monash Exchange, we have student exchange agreements with over 150 partner universities in more than 30 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa – meaning studying a semester or two in places like Norway, South Africa, Japan, Germany and Mexico is easier than you think.
 
In instances where Monash Exchange is not an option, Semester Study Abroad allows you to study one semester, or one year, at an overseas institution that does not have an exchange agreement with Monash. For further information regarding the Independent semester study abroad experience, visit: http://www.monash.edu/study-abroad/outbound/exchange/independent-study.
 
4. High achieving students can participate in an Industry based learming opportunities through many of our degrees, including the Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Computer Science double degree.
 
Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities through the Monash Business School includes activities such as work placement, internships or clinical rotations. For further information, visit: http://www.monash.edu/career-connect/jobs/employability/work-integrated-learning/business-economics.
 
Admission into the Industry Based Learning for students studying the Bachelor of Computer Science is based on a range of eligibility criteria, including your academic results, and interviews with our IBL partners. Selection criteria include: communications skills, maturity, enthusiasm, initiative, leadership qualities, extra-curricular interests and participation, academic performance, previous exposure to paid work, and career interests. For further information, visit: http://www.monash.edu/it/future-students/industry-experience/industry-based-learning.
 
If you have further questions regarding any of the above topics, please call 1800 666 274 (1800 MONASH) or email us at [email protected].

im like probs gonna pply to monash next year and was leaning towards commerce and computer science double degree and havea  few questions in general about monash lifestyle?

1. I live like about an hour's train ride away from monash, will that impact heavily do you think on hvaing spare time to do stuff like going to the gym and working a part time job?
2. For scholarships like the monash scholarship for above 98 and the it scholarship, do you need to submit any separate application other than just applyiing on vtac for the course
3. For exchanges, are you limited to the exchange partners on the website or is it common for students to find their own exchange opportunities
4. How competitive is entry into the Industry Based Learning Program? If your averaging pretty good grades are you pretty likely to get in?

Really appreciate that this forum exists lol. I have like no idea about anything

Hi LifeisaConstantStruggle,
The proposed fees reform (referenced in your enquiry) has not yet been legislated and will need to pass the Senate in Australia. We're closely monitoring these developments until we receive any further information.

Hi monash!
I would just like to ask for more info regarding the new higher education reforms.
Would New Zealand citizens and Australian permanent residents be required to pay the domestic full fee by next year? Or does the CSP still apply?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Orson,
If you are currently studying at Monash University, it would be best that you speak to the Monash Business School directly. You can arrange an appointment with a Course Advisor through the following link: https://my.monash.edu.au/news-and-events/bookings/busecoadv/

Hey Ask Monash,

I was told that Foundations of Finance (BFC1001) isn't running at Clayton next year (and is being taken out of the Finance core units), I was wondering if it will also be taken out of the Accounting elective units, and replaced with Corporate Finance 1?

I'm still choosing between Accounting and Finance, and doing Foundations of Finance/Corp Fi would let me experience a Finance subject before making a decision. I also want to do either of those subjects as they are required for CA, and I would also like to keep that option open.

Thanks :)

Hi SaadSyraxx,

The Master of Data Science does not have a quota on the number of students we can accept and as such, selection will be based on academic merit achieved. We would still encourage you to submit a complete course application at your earliest convenience to allow adequate time for assessment and time to request further documents if required. On the other hand, selection for admission into postgraduate courses with quotas will be based on a combination of the above.
Hope this helps :)

Hey wanted to ask how monashs admission system work? Is it first come first serve basis if the total number of eligible students who apply to a given program exceed the maximum student intake of that batch? For example if for Ms in data science the total number of applicants that pass eligibility criteria are 1500 and well 200 seats are availible will monash consider the people who applied first or those that have high merit.
Thanks.

Hi Ask Monash,
I am looking at going into Engineering at Monash in 2019, and I would just like to know how the 'common first year' works, and what sort of electives are available for the course? Also, one of the options I am looking at includes a Masters degree in Advanced Engineering, and what does that entail/mean for study? How much work is it, what type of work, etc.

Hi Cactus Jack x Huncho,
 
The Monash Guarantee ATAR of 75 for your course of interest is only applicable to select students who satisfy certain criteria and submit relevant supporting documentation. Course prerequisites must be satisfied.
 
You could be eligible for the Monash Guarantee if you:
have experienced financial disadvantage
live in a low socio-economic area
are an Indigenous Australian
attend a Monash listed under-represented school.
 
All applicants who satisfy the above criteria must submit a Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) application through VTAC with all supporting documentation (if required) to be considered. For further information, please visit: http://www.monash.edu/study/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/the-monash-guarantee  and download the Monash Guarantee and SEAS brochure.
 
The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS), on the other hand, adjusts your aggregate score, which in turn adjusts your ATAR. This SEAS-adjusted ATAR will be used during the selection process and be used against the Clearly-in ATAR for that intake (i.e. 2017 clearly in ATAR of 84 can be used as a guide), not the lower Monash Guarantee ATAR. You can read more about SEAS at https://www.study.monash/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/special-entry-access-scheme.
 
If you would like further clarification about the Moansh Guarantee or SEAS, please call us on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) or email [email protected].
 
I hope this helps!

hey guys, this might be very irrelevant but i figured i may as well ask you guys since you all have enrolment experience. So, my course at monash requires 84 but on the course website it says that with seas i can get in with an atar of 75! surely, its not that simple. For seas, i qualify for the very first category because i was born outside of Australia and came after - 1/1/2012. Can you guys explain how this works and please tell me if i can get in with an atar around 75, i meet prerequisites requirements too! Thanks, id like any type of input. Appreciate it!

And, do you actually require some sort of documentation for category 1 because i recall seeing that it isnt needed and vtac will just use my personal details to determine that

Hi Jarredz0r,
 
If you filled in your personal details in the Monash SEAS Estimate Calculator and the script, “Based on the entered information, you may be eligible for The Monash Guarantee”, appears, you may be considered for admission into our courses if your achieved ATAR meets the Monash Guarantee ATAR requirement. Note, a SEAS application and relevant supporting documentation must be submitted through VTAC to be eligible. Prerequisites must also be met.
 
If you do not satisfy the Monash Guarantee critera, the Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS), adjusts your aggregate score, which in turn adjusts your ATAR. This SEAS-adjusted ATAR will be used during the selection process and be used against the Clearly-in ATAR for that intake, not the lower Monash Guarantee ATAR. You can read more about SEAS at https://www.study.monash/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/special-entry-access-scheme.

If you would like further clarification about the Moansh Guarantee or SEAS, please call us on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) or email [email protected].


Hey Monash,
A quick question about the Monash Guarantee Calculator: is it absolutely guaranteed that if the calculator deems you eligible (and for example, gives a 5-point ATAR boost), then you will be provided with a lower ATAR entry requirement for an eligible Monash course? Specifically the accuracy of the calculator on low-socio economic areas, I've heard rumors that some have been eligible for this section under the calculator but Monash also must take other factors in to consideration (such as family income, etc.) and therefore they did not receive the Monash Guarantee (again, given that the course allows for the Monash Guarantee). Sorry if my question is a bit clunky, but I greatly appreciate any response! Thanks!

Hi, do you know when people are notified whether they have met the requirements to receive a Monash guarantee?

Hi Phil,
 
The 4 year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) kicks off with a common first year, where you’ll gain a better understanding of scientific and design fundamentals, and the interaction between engineering and society. You’ll also get a taste of the 13 engineering specialisations on offer before deciding which to pursue from level 2. You can read more about the course in the 2018 handbook (2019 handbook will be available from October, 2018).
 
As part of each of the engineering streams available, students will be given the opportunity to complete up to 8 electives in the course, 4 of which are technical electives (outlined in the 2018 handbook), and another 4 which can be units from other faculties. Note, if foundation units are required (e.g. Physics or Chemistry), then one of these open elective units must be foundation unit.
 
Moreover, the Masters Accelerated Pathway option is available for the following specialisations: Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer Systems, Materials, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering. The Monash 4 year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree is accredited by Engineers Australia. This means that your qualification will be automatically recognised in 17 countries across the globe. The extra year of study through the Master of Advanced Engineering will advance your skills and give you a clearer competitive edge in the workforce.

Hi Ask Monash University,
If I were to do a double degree in Science and Education, could I do a Diploma of Liberal Arts on top of that if I want to study arts units, and can I study it concurrently with the degree?
Thanks!
