Thank you very much!

Say I was to complete Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace)/ Bachelor of Science (focus on Physiology), would I be able to achieve an Honours in both of them? Or do I have to pick one of them to be my Honours subject? Also, how do Majors and Minors come into this? Is one of my subjects a Major and the other one is a Minor, and can I chose which is which?

Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks again :)

Hello geminii,
 
The single Bachelor of Engineering degree at Monash is a 4 years specialist degree. As such, the honours qualification is embedded into this degree. If you complete Engineering as a single or as a double degree you will graduate with Engineering (Honours). For example, if you were to choose Aerospace Engineering as your specialisation, the awarding qualification is: Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (Honours).
 
In contrast the Bachelor of Science is a comprehensive degree. Thus, honours is not embedded into this degree. However, on successful completion of the Bachelor of Science or Aerospace Engineering (Honours)/Science double degree you could choose to pursue a separate honours year in Science. See the honours course entry for more details: https://www.study.monash/courses/find-a-course/2017/science-s3701?domestic=true&id=429282
 
In the Aerospace Engineering (Honours)/Science double degree you will be required to choose a major from the list of Science majors offered at the Clayton campus. This could be Physiology for example. The course map illustrates how your major area of study will fit into your double degree course structure identified as ‘science major’: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/maps/map-e3007.pdf

Hope the info helps!  :)

Im interested in the bach of Computer Science, specialising in Data Science. I've had a look through the course structure, and ive noticed that many of the subjects werent actually offered during 2016. If i was to commence study in 2017 in this course/specializations, how would it work? If there was not enough people completing the specialization, would I not be allowed to complete it. How does that work? Im eager to study in the field and since the new Grad Diploma of Data Science requires a previous degree I have little choice.

Hi Cosec,
 
The specialisation in Data Science was a brand new specialisation launched in 2016! As a result, only first year subjects were offered in 2016 as a student must have the prerequisites to complete the Level 2 and Level 3 subjects. The second and third year subjects will be rolled out in subsequent years. A student who commenced this course in 2016 (and in future years such as 2017) will not encounter any problems in completing the course as the subjects will be made available in later years. The 2017 Unit Handbook will be available online shortly. In the interim, please refer to the 2016 Course Map for more details: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/maps/map-c2001.pdf

Can you get a first round offer for Monash Arts/law with an ATAR between 90 and 97, with a very strong SEAS application without qualifying  for the Monash Guarantee?
Hi Scandin9,
 
As the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) calculates this score at the end of the selection process, we cannot predict what it will be for this year. You can use last year’s clearly-in score of 98.00 for the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Arts course as a guide for the 2017 intake.
 
The Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) works by offering bonus points of up to 20 aggregate points, or 10 ATAR points (whichever is lower) to an applicant’s achieved ATAR score. You can check out our SEAS calculator for an estimate of your adjusted ATAR.
 
For an indication, an applicant was offered a place in this course with an ATAR of 92.65 this year because their adjusted ATAR (after adding subject and SEAS bonusing) was above the 98.00 clearly-in ATAR.

hovering over the bachelor of business specialist, it says guaranteed monash guarantee atar is 75. however, when i look at specialisations under the lists, the clearly in atars are displayed and they're different and higher than the 75 from the monash guarantee. is this degree not actually a 75 with the monash guarantee? https://www.study.monash/courses/find-a-course/2017/business-specialist-b2003?id=429369#entry-requirements-2
link above :)

Hi HasibA,
 
Students who are interested in the Bachelor of Business Specialist will need to apply for one of four specialist degrees through VTAC – Bachelor of Accounting, Bachelor of Banking and Finance, Bachelor of International Business or the Bachelor of Marketing.
 
Students eligible to apply under the Monash Guarantee (have experienced financial disadvantage, or are an Indigenous Australian, or attend a Monash under-represented school, or live in a low socio-economic area and provide adequate supporting documentation with their VTAC application) will be able to gain admission into either of these specialisations with an Achieved ATAR of 75.00 and satisfying the course prerequisites.
 
Students not eligible to apply under the Monash Guarantee will be ranked for admission based on the 2017 clearly-in ATAR. In 2016, these were as follows:
- Bachelor of Accounting: 83.15
- Bachelor of Banking and Finance: 83.05
- Bachelor of International Business: 81.00
- Bachelor of Marketing: 83.20

Hope the info helps.

Hi Ask Monash,



Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you know what was the lowest atar for second round offers in the Bachelor of Law/ Arts with a very strong SEAS Application?

Hi scandin9,
 
The lowest ATAR for an offer for the Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/ Bachelor of Arts double degree when SEAS was taken into consideration in 2016 was 92.65. As mentioned in my earlier post, SEAS can boost your ATAR by a maximum of 10 points or Aggregate score  by 20 points, whichever is lower. If we look at the 2015 Aggregate to ATAR Table (http://www.vtac.edu.au/pdf/Aggregate-ATAR-2015.pdf) we can see that an ATAR of 92.65 equates to an aggregate range between 165.87 – 165.99. If we assume this student obtained the maximum number of bonus aggregate points due to SEAS bonus (20 aggregate points), their adjusted aggregate score will sit between 185.87 – 185.99. Referring back to the Aggregate to ATAR table, this is equivalent to an ATAR of 98.05. The student received an offer as their adjusted ATAR was above the 2016 clearly-in ATAR of 98.00.

Hi Monash,
Got a question about multiple exams in one day. My friend has two 3 hour exams that are only one hour apart, less if you take into consideration the time spent leaving the exam room and the requirement to arrive a little early to be seated for the next. The first exam starts at 9:30 and the second at 2:00, both also having half an hour reading time.
I thought I'd heard somewhere that under these conditions there might be some special consideration available - is this true? What options are there?
Thanks

Hi Monash,

I just had a question regarding the Arts component of the Law/Arts double degree. Basically I was wondering at what point students select their major/minor for their course? Do students complete a set number or type of subjects first (e.g. - compulsory units), or do they select their major/minor/electives at the beginning of their course?

Thanks :)

Hi Miaow,

Thanks for your question. We've checked with Monash Connect and the best way forward is if you outline your concern to ask.monash detailing the difficulty with travel or getting to the next venue in time and they'll liaise with the exams team.
Hope this helps.  :)

Hello Glasses,
 
The arts degree (completed as a single or double degree) is flexible and there are no compulsory arts units. You can choose your major and minor areas from nearly 40 different areas of study! Essentially, you will choose major and minor subjects from Year 1 in the double degree. However, you don’t need to absolutely decide on your major in Year 1 (e.g. if you change your mind). There can be a bit of room to move as you also have 4 arts elective subjects in the Laws (Honours)/Arts double degree. The 2017 course maps will be available shortly. In the interim, please refer to the 2016 Laws (Honours)/Arts course map for an illustration of how your subjects are organised: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2016handbooks/maps/map-l3003.pdf
 
The following video is also useful in demonstrating the course structure for arts double degree programs and specifically Laws (Honours)/Arts (from 1:43): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5_TaIxtzd8
 
Areas of study that complement law include: International Relations, International Studies, Criminology, Bioethics, Human Rights, Politics, Philosophy, Holocaust and Genocide Studies - just to name a few. But the choice is yours!  :)

Hi Monash.

I really think my ATAR will be less than 80 or even 70 at this stage, my circumstances have been rough.

If I can't get into Monash arts, can I do an arts elsewhere and possibly transfer externally from another institution into a law course providing I have the average of 80 required. Also if I choose law electives is there more of a chance to transfer into a law course.

I'm quite scared to study law at a non go8 uni due to all the conceptions that firms only look to employ from Monash or UoM. Please clarify.

Thanks

Yeah you can. Doing law electives probably wont help.

1) They are harder than arts units. Ive done both and i can say that with arts, you just gotta learn how to write an essay and you will get HD fairly easily. Its usually the second semester where the marks increase. My first semester i just couldnt break the HD barrier and now my essays are into the 90s because of technique.

2) You might get credit but they count as leverage to get in. That is, you will still be considered equally as everyone else applying for an external application.

Hi Monash,

I had a question regarding external transfers from other universities to Monash.

I've finished my first year of Commerce/Law at Deakin with an average of 79.
Was wondering what chances I had of a transfer to Monash law?

Also, is it possible to transfer from Commerce/law at Deakin to Commerce/Law at Monash If I have not satisfied the Mathematical Methods pre-requisite? If not , does Monash offer any bridging courses etc?

Thank you

Thanks. I'm thinking of doing criminology. And what is credit? Did you transfer into law or just took electives?

Hi Monash,
Is it true that Monash is removing MBBS as an undergraduate course for 2018 and beyond? Does this require the UMAT?

I'm not too sure whats happening with Monash Med, but if you can describe all of the pathways from 2018 and beyond and their requirements that would be most appreciated :D
