Hey. I have a question.

I am considering going to Monash and doing a bachelor of Arts, majoring in history and Italian studies. Would I also be able to do a diploma of languages in Arabic alongside my course?

Also, if I went to another university that did not offer a Diploma of languages, would I be able to the diploma with Monash whilst attending another university?

Thank you!

Hey guys!

So exams are murdering us (well, me anyway) and ATAR Day will soon be upon us. So just wondering:

I'm looking to get into Monash Undergrad Med hopefully, and I did the UMAT. I go to an under represented school, so I believe that UMAT cutoff was 175 and I made it, but just barely (I got 176, 86th percentile).

So with regards to ATAR, the requirement that the booklet shows me is 94. Would I still get an offer if I get below that, what are the chances of that happening, and if not, with what ATAR could I expect to get an offer for sure?

Thank you so much for doing this!

Hi, i was just wondering, if my ATAR is around the 86-88 mark and i don't qualify for any special considerations, do i have a slim chance of being accepted into commerce at Monash?
The clearly in for 1st round was 90.3 but does that drop for the next few rounds or not?

Just trying to assess my options, thanks.

Hi, can I get into Law (Honours) with a 95?

Hi tum0001,
 
As a guide, the clearly-in ATAR for the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) in 2016 was 98.00. If the clearly-in ATAR for 2017 entry was to decline and/or if you are eligible for any subject bonus (refer to the VTAC website for subject bonus), you may still be considered for an offer. Depending on your circumstances and if you submitted a Special Entry Access Scheme (SEAS) application via VTAC, you could also be considered under the following schemes:
 
Monash Guarantee:
https://www.study.monash/how-to-apply/entry-schemes/the-monash-guarantee
 
New Law Pathway:
https://www.monash.edu/law/future-students/undergraduate/pathways/new
 
If you do not have a SEAS application and if the schemes above are not applicable to you, then a pathway option is to commence another Monash degree that you are interested in studying, complete at least one year of full-time study, aim for at least a distinction average, and then apply for an internal course transfer into law. Importantly, you need to choose a course you will enjoy (to give you the best possible chance of achieving high grades) and a course that you are willing to continue on with in the event you are unsuccessful for a course transfer. Transferring course or campus is part of a competitive selection process (and not guaranteed). This means that you will be competing with other students for a place in the course.
 
Remember to order your VTAC preferences in order of courses you desire most, to courses you desire least as entry scores may move up or down each year.  Hope the information helps.

Hello 99.95Ez,
 
The clearly-in ATAR cut-off for each degree program is a statistic from the last intake to that degree. Whilst the clearly-in ATAR for the Bachelor of Commerce in 2016 was 90.3, the clearly-in ATAR for 2017 is not known until first round offers are finalised and published in January 2017. ATAR can move up or down each year depending on a number of variables such as the number and quality of applicants who apply.
 
If the Bachelor of Commerce is your dream course, it is still recommended that you leave this course in your VTAC preferences, but it is also recommended that you include a back-up plan in the event you are not offered a place in your dream course. An alternative option that you can consider is the Diploma of Business (stream in Commerce) offered through Monash College. The Diploma of Business can be included in your VTAC preferences.

More information can be found here: https://www.monashcollege.edu.au/courses/diplomas/business
Hope the information helps you in assessing your options.

Hi n.a,
 
Entry into the Direct Entry Medicine program is based on a combination of ATAR, UMAT and Interview (Multiple Mini Interview). You cannot be guaranteed an offer for this course. However, if you receive an ATAR of 94+ and a UMAT score of 175+ you will be guaranteed an interview!
 
In the event that your ATAR falls below the 94+ requirement set for the Monash Guarantee scheme, you cannot be guaranteed an interview. Nonetheless, you may still be considered for interview selection based on a ranking system and your SEAS application (submitted as part of the Monash Guarantee) will also be taken into consideration. With the exception of the Monash Guarantee scheme, Monash does not publish ATAR and UMAT cut-off scores as applicants are ranked for interview selection relative to other applicants in the applicant pool. Hope the information is helpful.

Why is all the Monash branding black now instead of the good ol' Monash blue?

Hi iimann,
 
A student that is currently enrolled in the Monash Bachelor of Arts degree can apply to complete the Diploma of Languages program. Arabic Studies is not currently available as an area of study. Nonetheless, there are a wide variety of languages on offer. You can view the list in the Diploma of Languages Unit Handbook: http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/A0501.html
 
The Diploma of Languages is only available to those enrolled in a Monash undergraduate degree as it is studied concurrently with your primary course (e.g. Bachelor of Arts). The Monash Diploma of Languages is not available to those completing a degree external to Monash.  Hope the information is helpful.  :)

Hi melting meithy, thank you for your question and it's a good one.  ;)

We've always had Monash Black and White in our suite of brand elements and it has been put to work in a number of ways. Earlier this year, as part of the brand refresh, we thought we'd give our friend 'Monash Blue' some annual leave so it could relax.  8)

Black and White's in the driver's seat for now but Monash Blue is still working on many of our future student campaigns, since I guess, we will always be well, Monash Blue - in some way.

Hope this helps and if you prefer Monash Blue, stick with it!   ;)

Hi,
Continuing on from this, are there any alternate pathways to get in to commerce by possibly doing a business course with lower ATAR entry requirements, such as a bachelor of economics or finance and then transferring into commerce after one year if my scores are good?
I would prefer to go to Clayton campus due to the distance i would have to travel.

Thanks :)

Hello. I would like to do a bachelor of business/bachelor of marketing and major in Business Management and complete a minor in Human Resource Management. I was looking at the units for both of these and noticed there was a crossover in some units. Does this mean i would have to do more units, or can one unit be used towards a major and a minor? (And in this case, would i get electives?) Hope this makes sense! :D

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


Thank You!

Hi Hydroxyl,
 
The Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine will replace the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (Honours) MBBS program as of 2017 entry. The Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) is an internationally-recognised, higher level qualification.
 
While the name of the medicine program is changing, the changes to the curriculum will be minimal. We will continue to offer the 5 year Direct Entry program, as well as the 4 year Graduate Entry program. The entry and selection requirements remain unchanged. There has not been any discussion to discontinue the direct-entry medicine program.
 
Admission into the 5 year direct-entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) will only be available to applicants who have completed Year 12 studies (or VCE equivalent) no more than two years prior, and have not commenced other studies at a tertiary level during that time. Requirements include Academic (Year 12 Chemistry and English, and ATAR or equivalent), UMAT and performance at a Multiple-mini Interview. Visit http://www.med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/direct-entry/domestic.html to read more about the requirements.
 
The 4 year graduate-entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) will only be open to Monash graduates from certain courses. These include the Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours), Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) or the Bachelor of Science (dependent on the completion of designated units) from Monash University. Shortlisted applicants will be required to attend a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) and Situational Judgement Test (SJT) to be considered for an offer. The GAMSAT is not a requirement. You can read more about these pathways at http://med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/grad-entry/2017-entry.html.

Hope the information helps.

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

Hi 0atarislife0,
 
There are a couple of pathways into law at Monash University – course transfer into the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) after successful completion of one year full time of any Australian bachelor degree (or equivalent) with at least a distinction average, or apply for the Monash Master of Laws (Juris Doctor) program after completing any bachelor degree.
 
Similar to what Specter has mentioned, studying law electives will not increase your eligibility for admission into the Bachelor of Laws (Honours). However, if you were offered a place based on previous academic results achieved, you may be eligible to receive credit for previous studies.
 
Please note, 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 pathways into the Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at https://www.monash.edu/law/future-students/undergraduate/pathways/transfers.
