Hi Monash,
For the law/arts pathway, is the minimum ATAR 90 including SEAS? Thank you! 

Would be excluding.

Is the lowest ATAR offer similar each year? For the course I'm hoping to get into, my ATAR is just slightly higher than the 2017 lowest ATAR offer.
Thanks.

Yes, usually. Sometimes the changes can be pretty big, but those are anomalies, not the norm.

[KBKO]

1. Just wondering, did the person with the lowest ATAR offer receive the offer because they had more SEAs bonuses than other people? Hence, their adjusted ATAR would be higher than the people who want to get into that course?
2. How accurate is the Monash SEAs calculator?
3. Do subject bonuses apply to every course? Not sure how this works, but as far as I know, if you get higher than the prerequisites required for your course you get bonuses? Does this add up on top of SEAs?

Thanks guys.

Hi! Are there any limitations on transfers into law, for instance Bachelor of Global Studies into a double degree of global studies and law?
And in general what is the average mark one must maintain to transfer into law?
Thankyou!

Hi I graduated this year and have a few questions regarding Monash undergraduate courses.

If i were to do a double degree bachelor of commerce/biomedical sciences, am i still eligible to be in the scholars program for biomedicine?

With my ATAR, if i apply for Undergraduate of Biomedical Science (scholars program) am i guaranteed to be accepted and do i automatically qualify for the Biomedicine Discovery Scholarship?

What is the graduate pathway from Biomedical Sciences into an undergraduate Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD)? Is there a possibility to change after the end of my 2nd year or do i have to complete the Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences first? What is the selection criteria, is any possibility to guarantee entry in advance?

I know i'm hard work ... 
any help greatly appreciated!

Hi hmdeadas,
Eligible applicants who submitted a Monash Guarantee and SEAS application through VTAC were notified in early December. Entry into Monash courses, however, was still dependent on ATAR results and meeting any pre-requisites. Please come to our Change of Preference Expo from 3-7 pm at Caulfield Campus tomorrow or call 1800 MONASH to discuss further with our Access Monash team. Hope this helps.

Hello Monash, So I go to an under represented school (carrum downs secondary), live in a low Socioeconomic area (Skye) and come from a disadvantaged financial background (parents receive centerlink benefits).  However every student from my school received an email saying they are eligible for monash guarantee apart from me. Monash came to my school and said that i was eligible but i haven't received an email.... I have already submitted seas and last night i added a monash preference on VTAC? What do i do as i meet all the criteria? Is it because i only but monash as a preference last night? How can i contact them and sort this out?

Hi Elcee,
When you enroll into a Monash undergraduate degree, you can apply for our Diploma of Languages. Entry into the Diploma requires approval of the relevant Faculty that you are completing your undergraduate degree. The relevant faculty essentially approves that the units in the Diploma of Languages (eight in total) can be studied concurrently with your degree, and to minimise overload. It is also possible to complete a double degree in arts and commerce and the clearly-in ATAR this year was 90.3. French can be studied as part of a Bachelor of Arts. For entry into the double degree, you  must also meet the English requirements and achieve at least 25 in maths methods or specialist maths units 3 and 4.
Hope this helps with your planning.

Hey,
How can I complete a bachelor of commerce alongside a Diploma of Languages ? I'm planning on studying French to broaden my prospects in the future.
I originally thought you had to complete an Arts degree with Commerce, but apparently not ..?
If I study Diploma of Languages, how will it affect my timetable for my commerce degree ?

Hi [redcated],
New Zealand students are eligible for the Sir John Monash Scholarship for Excellence (ATAR equivalent 98 and above). Please note New Zealand CIE students are not eligible for this scholarship.
Scholarship offers are still being made available to students and offers are still made into the New Year, depending on how many are accepted. New Zealand students can pay upfront each semester.

Hope this helps.

Hi abbeyrose,
Yes the ATAR for the law pathways is 90 and above. Students must also satisfy certain eligibility criteria; that they are Indigenous Australian, from a low socio-economic area or have experienced financial hardship.

Hi KBKO,

Monash ATAR’s have remained relatively stable in recent years and the 2017 clearly- in ATAR should be used as a guide. Please note pre-requisites and extra requirements (I.e interview or folio) must also be met for entry into courses.

Is the lowest ATAR offer similar each year? For the course I'm hoping to get into, my ATAR is just slightly higher than the 2017 lowest ATAR offer.
Thanks.

Hi KBKO,
The lowest ATAR was the lowest ATAR score made for that course and it includes any adjustments as a result of SEAS. We publish the SEAS calculator on our website to give students an estimate of any SEAS they may receive but each SEAS application is assessed in order to be awarded SEAS points. https://www.monash.edu/study/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/seas-calculator

1. Just wondering, did the person with the lowest ATAR offer receive the offer because they had more SEAs bonuses than other people? Hence, their adjusted ATAR would be higher than the people who want to get into that course?

Hi badnboujee,
Transfer into the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) is possible from the Bachelor of Global Studies. Transfer depends on your results, and the results of those applying to transfer. Students looking to transfer into law, should aim for a weighted average mark (WAM) of 70 and above.
Hope this helps

Hi Monash!

If your doing the Arts/Science double degree
after completing the four years can you do an honours year in one of the degrees?

Yes you can (for both), although you may need to complete certain prerequisites units in your degree, and maintain a certain grade average.

Is the workload significantly higher and more stressful in double degrees; namely the arts/science (bar the extra year)?

You'll generally be doing 4 units (subjects) a semester - the same as a single degree student. Science units tend to have more contact hours/workload than Arts ones, but you won't be doing more work than a single degree student

Can I use my undergraduate degree (science) at Monash to apply for graduate medicine at other universities?

Yes

Do you have to take a honours year to apply for graduate medicine?

No, although some universities may consider it in the application process.

And a bit of a random question but what is your student support like for students with medical conditions?

Thanks in advance!

Monash has a very good disabilities support network, and they try their best to ensure you are not unfairly disadvantaged in your degree. While I haven't used it myself, I've heard good things

Hope this helps
