Entrance requirements

Subject prerequisites are listed under the course descriptions within this handbook. Students should refer to the relevant and current version of the following publications for details of the necessary entrance scores, or contact any faculty office:

Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre guide
Monash University undergraduate course guide for international students
Monash University postgraduate course guide for international students

Quotas

Where there are resource and staffing constraints, the faculty may be required to place quotas on enrolments in courses, subjects or in major areas of study. The faculty will include details about subject quotas with the pre-enrolment information sent to students.

International students

International students, whose academic standard is at least equivalent to the minimum required of Australian students, can apply for an undergraduate or graduate course on a full-fee basis.
Full fee-paying international students not currently undertaking a Year 12 course of study in Australia should apply direct to the university. Applications for direct entry are available from Monash International, Monash agents overseas, or the faculty offices. However, note that international students undertaking a Year 12 course of studies in Australia should apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC).
It is possible to apply for a mid-year admission to some undergraduate courses and many of the faculty's graduate courses. For more information ask at the faculty office for a copy of 'Mid-year enrolment opportunities', a Monash International brochure listing the courses that have a mid-year intake.
Most of the undergraduate and graduate courses offered by the faculty are available to international students. Some courses however are not suitable for the needs of international students, eg those courses that are offered only on a part-time basis. Under the terms of a student visa, international students are required to study full-time. The course summaries detail whether courses are available to full-time or part-time students.

Postgraduate students

Applications for all graduate courses should be made directly to the faculty office at the relevant campus. International students must apply through the Monash International office at the relevant campus.
Applications for graduate diplomas, graduate certificates and coursework masters degrees normally close in November for entry in February of the following year. Applications for all distance education courses are made directly to the faculty administration office at Gippsland by mid-October (telephone (03) 9902 6962). Further information and application forms are available from the distance education inquiry centre on telephone 1800 671 845.
Applications for masters degrees by research and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) may be made to the relevant faculty office at any time. Research scholarship applications should be submitted by the end of October of the preceding year to the Research, Training and Support Branch, Clayton campus.
