General

Admission to the Faculty of Engineering is based on the assessment of students' results in the Victorian Certificate of Education (or equivalent) in those subjects important to engineering - English, mathematics, physics and/or chemistry. Selection for engineering degrees at Monash is based on the Equivalent National Tertiary Entrance Rank (ENTER), a percentile score which ranks applicants in the cohort on a comparative basis. Consideration will be given to the full range of an applicant's VCE studies and results and the level of performance in common assessment tasks in prerequisite studies. Admission to the degrees of Bachelor of Technology (AMT, CompSt and Aerospace) is available by direct entry only, and an interview is part of the selection process. Subject to availability of places, limited mid-year entry may be possible into some courses.
Information about tertiary entrance requirements and prerequisites for admission to the faculty's courses and about the possibility of mid-year entry may be obtained from the faculty's administration offices on each campus.

Deferment

Students offered a place in the faculty may defer taking up the offer for one year, except where the student intends to study at another tertiary institution in Australia. Deferral of a Monash place whilst studying at another Australian tertiary institution is not permitted under any circumstances.
Students wishing to defer their place for one year to travel, work or have a break from study, should attend on their prescribed enrolment day and complete an application for deferral form. In special cases a second year of deferment may be granted on application, but this is very rare. Information about deferment may be obtained from the faculty's administration offices on each campus.
