Do you have different WAMs or GPAs in double degrees? Say for instance you finish your Arts/Law degree, do your employers look at the marks in Law only? Or do they look at your WAM that consists marks from both Arts and Law?

on mine it lists one GPA and wam but I know employers in law place greater weight on the law units as opposed to arts units. But the arts units are still important. Even more important than grades is work experience, positive personal attributes etc.

What kind of work experience?  Is it possible to do like internships at law firms while still being at uni?

Is it possible to defer honours for one year (assuming I make it) and resume the following year?

General work experience, part time jobs etc., anything which shows there is more to you than just studying and you have workplace experience, it's a waste for a firm to have to train someone to operate in a workplace environment from scratch when there are plenty of strong applicants with good experience. Yes, you can get part time jobs and internships while at uni, generally in 3rd or 4th year though you can get some lower level legal positions in second or even first year if you find them and are lucky enough to get it.

There are also volunteering opportunities and monash does a clinical placement unit at their own community legal centres.

When do you have to pick your Engineering specialisation at Monash? Is it any different if you're doing a double with Science? Also, when completing a Double Degree in Engineering and Science, are you still able to do the common first year - I've heard conflicting responses.
The GOAL: Attain a RAW study score of 40+ in all my subjects.

Courses I would like to study in order of preference include: Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), Bachelor of Biomedicine or Bachelor of Science.

2014: Biology [42]
2015: English Language [??] | Chemistry [??] | Physics [??] | Mathematical Methods (CAS) [??] | Specialist Mathematics [??]

Only if you don't get your first preference.

Well they can't afford to give hundreds of people the scholarship :P Plus, people with SEAS that "scale" up that high can't make it onto UoM's 99.95/99.90 promotional brochures and posters :P

Usually all academic scholarships (in all unis) are based off ATAR alone, there are then separate scholarships that take into account SEAS.

Hi Monash!

I have been thinking a lot about my preferences and I currently have you first on my list for a Bachelor of Law, however I know I will not successfully get into that course as I only achieved an 87 ATAR, however, I am now really wanting to do a Business/Business Specialist degree now. I qualify for Monash guarantee and the clearly in ATAR for this degree however I will have to rearrange my preferences after the first round of offers as I have this down as my 6th preference. Will I still be able to get into this degree in second round offers? Is there likely to be places left??

Thank you :)

No one can say. It depends on what happens in first round.

Hi DeezNuts, depending on which faculty you end up studying with, your Honours year may or may not be able to be deferred.  Best to check with your managing faculty once you commence your undergraduate course.
