Yup, just confirming what AngelWings said
MTH1010 = methods
MTH1020 = spesh
MTH1030/35 = MTH1040 = MUEP maths

Hi Monash,
I'm currently a first year bio med student interested in transferring into the bachelor of medical imaging and radiography. Is it possible for me to take a gap year and reapply through vtac where only my atar is only considered, and would seas be considered too? or is my only option to apply internal transfer?

Hi,
 
Please note that credit is not currently given for transfers into pharmacy. If you were to successfully enter our Pharmacy course with your RMIT results, you will commence our course from Year 1.
 
As a minimum, the faculty requires you to meet a 70% minimum average across all subjects for transfer into Pharmacy courses. You should keep in mind that competition for places is often strong, and you might need a higher average grade.
 
You can read more about the transfer requirements at: https://www.monash.edu/pharm/future/courses/pharmacy/course-variations-and-pathways/pathways-transfers.
 
I hope this helps!

Hi, i am currently studying Bachelor of pharmacy in RMIT. i have a question about the course transfer.
If i successfully transferred to Monash's bachelor of pharmacy next year, do i start at Year 1 in the course or i do progress to the relevant year?
thank you for your time.

Hey Monash,
If one is due to finish their degree by end of semester 2, have we technically graduated after semester 2 ends granted we pass all units? Or do we only offically hold a Bachelor of Science for example, when graduation ceremony happens in May the following year? In case a prospective employer needs evidence we have completed the degree?

Hi Monash,
Is the single degree of Bachelor of Education (Honours) specialising in Primary Education only available to complete at the Peninsula campus? That's what I have gathered from looking at the Handbook, however, I'd like to know for certain if it's offered at the Clayton campus or not without doing a double degree.

Hi there!
I’m a first year, and was wondering if it’s possible to do an internal course transfer for a course that offers acceptance mid year, in my first year? I really don’t enjoy my course, and would like to know if I could change my double degree into a single degree (which I do study at the moment) eg. sci and i.t -> bach. of sci?

Yes - it's possible to do this, provided you meet the requirements for a transfer. These include having completed at least 12 points of study, and having a minimum WAM (which from memory is around 70% - double check this with Science Student Services).
You can get more info here.

Hope this helps

Hey monash,

Unless I have gravely missinturped something, your science course does not require methods as a prequsite, rather the prequsite can be satisfied with physics. Just wondering how if you guys offer a methods and spesh equivilant classes in ur science degree along all majors?

Thanks!

Hi,
 
Mathematics is not a prerequisite for the Bachelor of Science if you have studied other science subjects in year 12. You only require one of either Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geography, Mathematical Methods (Any), Specialist Mathematics, Physics or Psychology.
 
Students will however, be required to study at least one mathematics subject as part of the science course. The mathematics unit you choose will depend on your mathematics background and interests. A course adviser can provide you guidance on which mathematics unit would best suit you.

Hi you99,
 
Thank you for your enquiry, our apologies on the delayed response. As a current Monash University student, it would be best if you speak to Student Services directly about your options. If you choose to take a year off this year, you must apply for intermission. If it is granted, you may then apply through VTAC for the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours).

The Monash School of Biomedical Sciences contact details are available at: http://www.med.monash.edu.au/sobs/contact.html. 

We hope this helps.

Thank you

Hi, if I were interested in studying law at Monash but was unable to get in due to the atar cutoff, would I be able to undertake an arts course for a year and then transfer over to a law degree?

Hi beeeeeper08,

As a current Monash student, it is recommended that you speak to staff at Science Student Services regarding the internal course transfer requirements. They are located at 19 Rainforest Walk, Clayton Campus.

We hope this helps you.

Hi dcesaona,

There are a number of pathways into the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at Monash, one of which is to commence an alternative bachelor degree, and then transfer after successful completion of one year full time of the course.
 
In essence, to be eligible to apply, you must have:
- completed the equivalent of at least one year (48 Monash credit points) and a no more than two years (96 Monash credit points) of a recognised undergraduate degree and
- achieved a distinction (70%) average or better across all university units
 
Entry to law courses via external transfer is a competitive process and the actual average required in any given year will depend on the number and standard of applications received.
 
You can read more about this pathway at: https://www.monash.edu/law/future-students/undergraduate/pathways/transfers.
 
If you have any further questions, please submit an online enquiry so our Student Recruitment Team can assist you: https://www.monash.edu/study/how-to-apply/enquiries
 
We hope this helps

Thank you
