Minimum entry requirements

To gain entry to Monash University as an undergraduate student in 2002, applicants must normally satisfy the university's minimum entrance requirements. These may be satisfied as follows:

• completion of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), including units 3 and 4 of English (any), or an equivalent qualification (eg Higher School Certificate prior to 1987 in Group 1 units), or
• completion of a comparable qualification to the VCE (eg interstate or other equivalent Year 12, International Baccalaureate), or
• completion of the full first year of a TAFE associate diploma or a complete advanced certificate (level four and above), or
• completion of at least two semester-length units at degree, diploma or associate diploma level, including any non-award/single-unit 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 units 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 off-campus distributed learning (distance education) are specified under the relevant course entries within this book.

Interstate and overseas qualifications

Applicants who have satisfied the university's entrance requirements in another state (Year 12 equivalent or other final school year) are normally deemed to have satisfied the minimum entrance requirements of Monash University. However, if your final school year did not include English and you have not completed any tertiary studies, you should contact the relevant faculty for advice.
Overseas qualifications in a language other than English must be accompanied by a certified English translation. If you are an Australian citizen or hold a permanent resident visa, you are advised to contact the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR), GPO Box 9879, Canberra ACT 2601 for assessment of qualifications before lodging an application. Advice and assessment assistance can also be obtained from the Department of Education, Employment and Training, Overseas Qualifications Unit, Level 27, Nauru House, 80 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000. Telephone (03) 9655 6164 or email oqu@edumail.vic.gov.au.
