• completion of a comparable qualification to the VCE (eg interstate or Year 12, International Baccalaureate); or
• completion of the first year of a TAFE associate diploma or advanced certificate (level four and above); or
• completion of at least two semester-length subjects at degree, diploma or associate diploma level, including any non-award/single subject studies.

Special admissions entry

Open learning

Applicants who have not satisfied the minimum entry requirements will also be considered for admission if they have satisfactorily completed at least two approved subjects through the Open Learning Agency of Australia Pty Ltd (or, in 1992, through TV Open Learning).

Entry requirements -- postgraduate courses

Entry requirements for Monash University postgraduate courses offered by distance education are specified under the relevant course entries within this handbook.
