Hello,
I want to get into Engineering and Commerce (92.40 Atar) but im 0.3 off (i received a 92.10 Atar). I also got a 25+ study score for specialists maths, physics and chemistry which would be a total of 5 subject bonus points added (making my atar 94), so would that mean i will be above the 2016 clearly in atar and be offered a place (if the clear in atar does not change for 2017)?
Thanks

I'm also doing that course.

Hey Monash Univeristy!
I understand there is a garunteed pathway into medicine via biomedicine which does not require the GAMSAT
My questions is, If I was to transfer into bachelors or biomedicine mid yearly and complete my degree, will I be eligible for this pathway?
It states that the student must undergo 1st year biomedicine but if I do only the second semester is that still ok?
Also it states GENERALLY? So does that mean it won't always be upheld?

Hey monash uni  !!

just wondering is there a way to find out if an individual will receive a scholarship?Like is there a way to find out if we will be getting one ?

Also whats the last date for scholarships to be handed out by ?


Thanks 

[Ask Monash University]

Thanks!
One follow up question,
So if I did methods and chemistry in yr 12,
Do I still have to take any specific units in order to transfer into biomed? Like assume chemistry is a unit I must take.

You need to ensure that you meet the prerequisites for transfer into our Bachelor of Biomedicine which are at least 25 in maths methods, specialist maths or physics and at least 25 in chemistry. If you didn't achieve this in VCE then you will need to take the appropriate bridging units in the Bachelor of Science. Upon enrolment, our course advisors can help with the units you should take in science if you are looking to transfer into biomedicine.  Hope this helps

Hello Ask Monash University!

I'm interested in studying biomedicine next year:

- Is it possible to take "gap years" during university courses. I just don't want to take it now , but I might in the future

Thank you!

Hi Esther,

Yes, you can take one year of 'intermission' during biomedicine.

Does the engineering excellence scholarship apply to law/engineering double degree? Considering that the managing faculty is Law and the engineering faculty is only the partner.
Thanks

Hi albinjoyajn,

Yes, that scholarship applies to all doubles with an engineering component. It is a 4 year scholarship ($6000 per 48 credit points) up to the amount of $24,000. If it is for a double degree with engineering, you would be paid for 4 years of the double degree - not the 6.5 it takes to complete engineering and law. Hope this helps.

Hi Andy88888888

The 2016 clearly-in ATAR should only be used as a guide and is subject to change. Also, if you applied for SEAS, or completed relevant subjects like physics, chemistry or maths as you have done, you may be eligible for the subject bonusing. This may increase your aggregate points and therefore your ATAR depending on your study scores for relevant subjects and how much bonusing you receive. If you wanted to chat further to someone, you can contact Monash Connect on 1800 MONASH on Monday or email [email protected].

Hi TheUsualStudent,

There are no guaranteed places in our graduate medicine program and a number of eligibility requirements including completion of 12 core units and weighted average mark of at least 70 to be ranked for interview. If you get credit for the science subjects towards the Monash biomedical science degree then you will only be eligible for the 25 places in the graduate medicine program, however, if you are willing to start from year one in the biomedical science degree then you are eligible for the full 75 places (including the reserved 50 places).

Hi knightrider,

We don't really set a date for scholarships since different ones are offered throughout the year including through to end of December and into January/February. If you were to call Monash Connect tomorrow morning, they'll be able to follow up for you. The team can be contacted on 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274).

Hi Monash!

What is the shortest possible path Bachelor of Science students can take to transfer into the Bachelor of Biomedicine then eventually into graduate medicine?

Thanks !!!

Hi Monash,

It's urgent.
I've got some questions. Firstly, is it possible to switch out of a course after you start? I'm thinking of doing the Bachelor of Science Adv. (Honours) but am not sure if it really the one for me. So if I don't like it after, say, the first year, can I switch out to the Bachelor of Engineering or Computer Science? Secondly, can I take a break mid-course? I'm thinking of going on a long vacation in my first year (~1 month). Can I be accommodated? Thirdly, are scholarships available for those going into Science courses, or, more specifically, the Adv. (Honours) degree, and how do we find out if we've been offered one? Fourthly, where can I find the term dates for next year, like when the semesters start/end? Also, is it in any way possible to do another degree alongside the Bachelor of Science Adv. (Honours), in a sort of double degree? I'm thinking of doing a Bachelor of Comp Sci alongside it.

Thank you so much!!

Hi, I've sent in my Honours acceptance message via ask.Monash as per instructions last week but have not received a response yet. The expiry date for accepting the offer is 21st Dec. Should I re-send my response? Or wait another day? Thank you

Hi monash

Is biomedical science scholars program the exact same course as biomedical science. Are we forced to do any research component in the scholars program? Can we run the scholars program exactly the same as the regular degree or is their any compulsory research unit?

[Ask Monash University]

Hi Monash!

I got an accomodation offer for the Urban Community, could you please tell me how the room selection works? Someone at my school said that we don't actually get to pick our rooms (only 2nd/3rd year uni students do). Could you please clarify this for me?

Thanks heaps

Hi Peanut Butter

Congrats on receiving your offer! For your enquiry, it would be best to contact the Monash Residential Servicesd Admissions Office via email [email protected] - they'll be able to help.
