Thanks for the help! What are the job prospects like for a double degree with both degrees?

Sorry to cut this answer short, but I'll just link a bunch of careers resources:
- Careers in Biomedical Science booklet
- Careers in Engineering
- Careers in Science and more specifically, Careers in Biological Sciences
Double degrees would just kind of merge the two degree areas together e.g. you study chemical engineering and ecology --> You can do a job in either industry or an amalgamation of both.

Hi Monash,
Is the Biomedicine Discovery Scholarship awarded to anyone who got above 98 and puts Biomedicine (scholars) in their preferences disregarding the position of it in the list?
Also what are the differences between Biomed (normal) vs Biomed (scholars)?
Thank you!

I think so, reading this. Not 100% sure though.

Also what are the differences between Biomed (normal) vs Biomed (scholars)?

I found this old thread from 2 years ago that basically answers this question.

Please help everyone
I calculated my adjusted atar to be 89.40 however the lowest selection rank for my course is 91.05 (monash bachelor of engieering {honours}). Can i still get an offer with this score? What is the probability?
Thankyou so much everyone!

Answered already in After Year 12 Q + A Thread. Will be deleting the duplicate post in Monash General Chat.

Please refrain from posting the exact same question several times across the forum in future. This is a part of the forum rules:

Hi Monash

What are the rough requirements for an internal course transfer from First Year Science to Second Year Radiography in terms of WAM requirement and number of places available? Would you need to do certain subjects in the science degree to be eligible to transfer, and would your year 12 results (including prerequisite scores like 35 in English (EAL)) prevent you from being able to transfer?

Thanks!

Hey there,

Eligibility for internal course transfer into the Bachelor of Radiography & Medical Imaging (Honours) can be found here.

Entry into the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging (Honours) program is highly competitive. Applicants considering an Internal Course Transfers must demonstrate that they:

Meet the prerequisites as published in the Find a Course
Completed at least 24 credit points of study
Obtained at least a Distinction (70) average
Submit Supplementary Form

While you need a minimum average of 70, since transfers into this course are highly competitive, I would expect the minimum average to be higher than this. In general, the number of places available for course transfers aren't usually provided to the public.

Also, given the highly structured and specialised nature of the BRadMedImag, there is also no guarantee that you will be able to transfer directly into second year from first year Science - that is, you may not be able to complete equivalent units in a Science degree to receive credit for entry directly into second year of the BRadMedImag (best to double check this with Monash). Regarding your year 12 results, I believe that you must still satisfy the prerequisites (either in year 12, or a university equivalent) of the course to be able to transfer into it (I could be wrong about this though). I'm not too sure about the details regarding these last two points though, so hopefully someone else can provide a more detailed answer, or you can also ask Monash directly

Hope that helps!

Hey guys, I’m aiming to undertake a BA of Psychology at Monash in 2020, but I’m also extremely interested in commerce/economics. Is there any possibility of completing a double degree in Psychology and Commerce/business studies at Monash?

Also another question, I’m not going to be studying chemistry 3/4 in Yr 12, and I was wondering if there were any ‘bridging courses’ available similar to those offered for maths methods? I know that chemistry is a prerequisite for most med courses as well at if you want to eventually study veterinary science of psychiatry

Hi Monash,
I was just wondering if its possible to get around subject prereqs? (for methods, for biomed scholars)
Like by promising to do a maths elective?
Thank you!

[Bri MT]

In terms of courses, you might be interested in:
business and arts
commerce and arts
commerce and science

There's also Science Advanced - Global Challenges (Hon.) which includes entrepeneurship in it (if that's an aspect of business you're interested in). A disadvantage with this is that you'll only be able to use an absolute max of 5 units towards commerce, business or economics units.   This is the course I'm studying, so I'll probably be able to answer questions you might have about it

Hey there,

If you have not completed Methods, unfortunately, I'm not presently aware of any way to fulfill the prerequisite in time for a round 1 VTAC offer.
If you have just missed the Methods study score prerequisite (i.e. have gotten a study score of 20-24), you can apply for a maths bridging course, but unfortunately, Biomedical Science (single degree) is not listed as a course that accepts the bridging course (you can view the list through the link). However, some Biomedical Science double degrees do accept the bridging course. I'm not too sure about the specifics for Scholars - contacting Monash directly should give you a better answer.

Hope that helps

Hi everyone!

Would it be possible to provide a link or a sample timetable of a double degree course at Monash?
I'm just curious about how you fit the majors and minors in each degree in your timetable.

Is there a sample timetable anywhere?

Thank you so much!

Hey there,

By "timetable", do you mean the subject choices for the whole degree? If so, you'll find them labelled as "course maps". To find a course map for a particular course, you can begin by searching up the course in the course handbook. Once you've found the course page, on the right panel (right-hand side of the page), you'll find towards the bottom a heading "course progression map" - click the link and you're there!

For example, here are the links to the course handbook page and course map for my course.

For reference, the course maps are only guides, and you can actually play around with your unit selections a bit - for example, some students may choose to complete more units for one degree earlier one (and less of the other), and this would allow them to apply for an early exit, and graduate from one degree rather than two (if they choose).

Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for the prompt reply!!
Yes sorry I meant a sample course map, so thank you so much for guiding me to this!!

Hi Monash,
I was wondering, if my family receives Family Tax Benefit A and B, does this qualify as “low” or “medium-low” in terms of the SEAS category (as per Monash SEAS calculator)? Keep in mind I didn’t write anything extra for my application besides attach the Centrelink statements. If it helps, only one of my parents work. Thanks.
