Is there anyone who does/did Bachelor of Global Studies? I was wondering what's the difference between doing a language through the 'cultural competence' specialisation and through a diploma of languages? Thanks!

Hi Monash,
What is considered financial disadvantage for SEA's/ Monash guarantee?  Is there a specific income? Are family assets considered?

Hey!
Here's a direct quote for what Monash considers financial disadvantage:
Quote
Disadvantaged financial circumstances (low income) or excessive financial obligations, demonstrated by any of the following:

you or your family receive an income-tested Centrelink benefit (e.g. Youth Allowance, Abstudy, Health Care Card or Family Tax Benefit A)
you or your family are facing financial hardship or excessive financial obligation but do not receive a Centrelink benefit (e.g. living on a farm suffering from drought or floods).

You can find this info here :)

Hope this helps! ^-^

Hey guys,

My question is will you guys have any new courses starting in 2021 for 2020 graduates (mainly in the business faculty).

I know that there is already a variety of subjects in that faculty and this might seem selfish of myself but i'm hoping to do a double degree of "Bachelor of Commerce & Bachelor of Property and Real Estate" at Deakin Uni (mainly because it doesn't have Methods as a prereq) and then hopefully transferring over to Monash because its Monash lol. So i was wanting to know if Monash would have identical courses so that i am able to transfer over.

Cheers

Are there any decent scholarships available for a student who gets around 98 ATAR with slight financial disadvantage? For example if income is around 50k but assets are high- eg family owns a house (but have a family concession card). I have read the info on the monash website and it seems to vague, any additional info would be appreciated thanks.

Hi does anyone know previous year cut off scores for Monash Engineering Excellence Scholarship? Is it possible to get with low 99 ATAR? Also is year adjusted atar (with seas) used when allocating scholarships?

Unfortunately, I don't think there will be exactly identical courses (especially on the property/ real estate side of things), although some of the business and economics units (subjects) might be similar. I don't know whether that will change in the next 2 years, however, that's certainly something you can ask during an Open Day or contact the uni directly about. Would be asking about "credit transfers" for a smoother transition, if you do wish to take this path, so you can cut down on costs and time.

Depends on what you classify as "decent". For financial disadvantage in general:
Relevant Scholarships
- if you have Centrelink benefits, there's the Monash UniStart Support Scholarship, which is generally quite helpful for a small financial boost.
- Vice Chancellor's Scholarship for Excellence (Must have 95+ ATAR)
- Vice Chancellor's Scholarship for Achievement (Must also qualify for Monash Guarantee and 90+ ATAR)
- Pauline Glass Memorial Scholarship (if you're female, achieve a 95+ ATAR, have low income)
- Ocean King Scholarship (low income student)
- Monash Support Scholarship (low income student)
- Monash Mornington Peninsula Council Grant (low income student from within Peninsula shire)
- John and Pauline Gandel Scholarship (must be Access Monash Mentor, a full time Monash student, low income and achieve 90+ ATAR)
- Harold Carroll Memorial Scholarship (must have studied at certain western Victorian schools and have low income)
- There's a few more in this list depending on your circumstances.

Reason most of them are vague is because it's usually considered on a case-by-case and need basis.

Uh, I've forgotten but I've heard it differs a little each year depending on who applies for Engineering. My memory, for some reason or another, has 98.5 remembered, so that might have been the cutoff, but I'd take that number with a huge grain of salt. (I don't trust that number at all.) I think Excellence scholarships are usually considered without SEAS adjustments from memory, as they're usually about achievement. Although, I'm not 100% sure about this being true... I'd ask Monash directly to know whether it's need and achievement based or not to confirm.

Hello

Am I able to pursue a diploma of languages alongside the Bachelor of Applied Data Science Advanced?  Also, it seems like I get hardly any choice in what I study and very few elective units until like 3rd year. Can someone confirm this?

Seems like a really new course (as in you’ll be a part of the first cohort next year if you do end up studying this), so I haven’t heard much about this. I’d ask Monash directly since it’s so new, but similar courses (e.g. BSci) usually allow students to also take the Dip Lang.

As for electives, yeah that looks like the case based on the information I found here (although you’ll be able to pick your stream via the applied units much earlier, it seems). This is usually the case for specialist degrees. However, given it’s a brand new course, there might be some finetuning to the units in coming months/years, so you should confirm with Monash directly in case that happens.

Hello Monash, What is your guaranteed entry score for bachelor of bio medicine
Not Monash, but a graduate.

As per here, raw ATAR of 85 if you’re eligible for Monash Guarantee (generally if you’re covered by certain SEAS categories) and are looking at the normal Bachelor of Biomedical Science. Previously, the clearly-in ATAR was 92.00 (2018 start), but after the change to selection rankings, the median ATAR for the normal Bachelor of Biomedicine was 93.55 before adjustments.

Apart from Monash Guarantee, there’s no “guaranteed entry score” that will get you into the Bachelor of Biomedical Science.

I really confused as to whether I can Major in Finance and Psychology both if I complete the Commerce/Science double degree. Whenever I click on one of the majors it says I need to do a double degree with 8 free units

Hmm... you should be able to. Having a quick look at the course map for the BComm/Sci double degree and at both majors (whether psych will be accredited or not), I can see how both would fit. However, I didn’t check if all the prerequisite units are covered, but usually this combination should be possible.

Hi current Y12 student here, not sure if this is the right place to ask but I was wondering what are the tangible differences between a regular Biomedical Science and Biomed scholars degree? I know the scholars has a higher atar cutoff and the opportunity for scholarships, but I'm trying to decide whether it's worth applying for both or whether it would be fine just applying for regular biomed only.
Thanks

I was a Monash Access Mentor and had an offer for vice chancellors scholarship for excellence but when I asked the people in charge of scholarships about my community leaders scholarship they got rid of my excellence one - I should've chased them up on this but I didn't. I do however know of someone who got a merit scholarship and the community leaders scholarship so that would indicate that you can hold both. I recommend directly asking Monash University about this to be sure.

I'd apply for scholars as well because why not?
I'm not sure if all of this is still relevant, but back when I was considering biomed as a back-up option I got this info:
Spoiler
The Scholars Program is specifically designed for very high achieving students. It recognises excellence and nurtures exceptional aptitude for future leaders in biomedical sciences. We are very excited to advise of the introduction of the  Biomedicine Discovery Scholarship with a total value up to $15,000 for the Scholars students. Information on this scholarship is available online at  https://www.monash.edu/study/fees-scholarships/scholarships/find-a-scholarship/biomedicine-discovery-scholarship 
Successful applicants will have access to a specialised mentor program. You are also invited to participate in our Talented Students Program where there are numerous professional development and extracurricular engagement opportunities with the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute and Monash Technology Research Platforms.
