A Master of Social Work degree is offered at Clayton campus and by distance education. For further details refer to the 'Social work and human services' entry in this handbook.
As
from 1998 Monash University has distinguished between postgraduate diplomas
which build on cumulative knowledge (the entry requirement is usually a
bachelors degree with a major or specialisation in the area covered by the
postgraduate diploma) and graduate diplomas where the entry requirement
normally is a bachelors degree of study from any discipline.
Please note that students in both the graduate and postgraduate diplomas in the
Faculty of Arts at Monash University are undertaking postgraduate, viz.
fourth-year level subjects, not undergraduate subjects. A maximum of one
third of the subjects in any course may have been upgraded from third-year
undergraduate level, requiring an appropriate upgrading of standards in the
work submitted and the assessment thereof.
