Hi chabooski, I think we need a little more information from you here- such as what course you will be studying.  It sounds like you should enrol for your first year and choose a major, but will still have the option to change your mind. However, we would recommend calling Monash Connect on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) to talk through your enrolment process with more details.  Your compulsory course information session will also provide more information on this.

I'm doing Law/Commerce and have enrolled in the first year units, was just confused by the section above it on the WES (Areas of Study, I think it was). Thank you for your help though! I will confirm on the information day!

I can't speak for the rest of your subjects, but I know they've gotten rid of the Foundation Chemistry subject they used to have (they said so in our session today). So, I'm not sure if you'd be able to pick up Chem, but I don't think so.

What subjects are you going to be doing for your first semester?

Hi. I was wondering i could do units on another campus. E.g if im doing arts at caulfield could i do 1 unit at clayton thats offered there and not caulfield? Or vice versa?

Yes. I'm a Clayton student but I enrolled in Caulfield for one unit last semester as the tute time was better.

monash you didnt reply to my question, so here it is again:


Is it possible to double major in science (even if your in a double degree e.g. science/arts) by extending the duration of the degree?

thanks! :)
Hi DeezNuts, the Science/Arts double degree structure doesn’t generally allow for a double Science major, however upon commencing your course we would advise you make an appointment with the Science Student Services course advice team, who may be able to help you find another way of reaching your goals.

Hi, I'm doing a double degree in science/arts and as I understand it, you do two subjects for each degree per semester. For science, there are two areas that I'm thinking of majoring in so I was thinking that I would do both in first year and then decide in second year which one I'll major in, however, I'm pretty sure I need to do a maths unit as well and I'm not sure how I can fit that in? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is a course map for your degree. Your degree probably wont end up the same, but as you can see in this example your major subjects only take up one unit per semester with the rest free to use as electives. You can take the math requirement in second year as it says there or I'm pretty sure even in third year.

Can you double major Commerce when doing a double degree?

Example: Finance and Accounting?

Thanks!

If your double degree isn't Commerce/Commerce Specialist then unfortunately you won't be able to because you won't have enough space/time to satisfy requirements for a double major (one yes but not two).

Okay. Thanks. Now to choose between Finance and Accounting.

Don't worry, you still have plenty of time to decide which you want to do. Just take units that could take you to both for the first couple of years, then make a decision later.

Yeah. I've got ages to decide because my course is very Engineering heavy in the first year. I'll end up finishing the common Commerce subjects sometime in my second year. I guess I'll see what I like and go from there.

Hey everyone. I'm going into BE (Hons)/BCom this year, and was wondering if someone can take a look at my subject choices (I haven't submitted them yet). I didn't do Chemistry or Spesh in VCE. I know I have to do a foundation math subject, but is it possible for me to also do a foundation chemistry subject as well (I want to do it), even though I don't necessarily have to (I'm probably going to specialise in Civil Engineering).

Semester 1:
- Foundation Mathematics
- Engineering Design (1st of 2)
- Mobile Apps or Computing for Engineering
- Commerce subject (1st of 6). Maybe Accounting (Which accounting one should I do? What are the differences?)

Semester 2:
- Mathematics for Engineering
- Engineering Design (2nd of 2)
- Mobile Apps or Computing for Engineering
- Commerce subject (2nd of 6). Maybe Marketing.

Thanks!

Hi not sure whether I am late to post this as you might have already enrolled. But just wanted point out that you cannot do ENG1060 "Computing for Engineering" alone in first semester. It has a Co-requisites of ENG1091 "Mathematics for Engineering". which means if you are to do ENG1060 you either have to do it together with ENG1091 (in either first or second semester) or you have to do EN1091 in first semester and ENG1060 in second semester. hope this helps :)

Thanks for clarifying that. I ended up choosing Mobile Apps instead for my programming subject. Thanks!

No worries.. In that case would like to point out this as well. I am not so sure about this as the course structure has changed from last year. but for most engineering double degree students(pretty much for everyone) who started their course in 2015 didn't have to do Mobile apps, which means it wasn't a core unit for double degree students. I am saying this because that subjects is widely known for a hard subject. lots of students struggles in it. may or may not reflect in their result but still. unless you are reaaaally in to programming I would advice against doing Mobile apps unless you have to. So just have a look at that :)
