Most undergraduate programs assume that mathematics has been studied at secondary school to a reasonable level and that the minimum requirement is a mathematics study at VCE levels 1 and 2. For Victorian students, the requirement for some undergraduate courses is VCE mathematics levels 1 and 2 and for other courses levels 3 and 4. Courses that involve computer engineering have relatively stringent prerequisites. VCE English (any) at units 3 and 4 level is a prerequisite for all courses. Students should consult the VTAC guide for the study score, which varies by course.
Unit 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:
Domestic and international VCE student applicants who seek to enter an undergraduate degree in Australia should apply directly to the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre, 40 Park Street, South Melbourne, Victoria 3205. Applicants for undergraduate study by off-campus learning should apply through the Gippsland faculty office. Please note that Monash no longer recognises the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) as an alternative method of meeting entry requirements. Instead Monash encourages all applicants who do not satisfy Monash entry requirements to undertake some university or TAFE study. Applicants who seek to study at the Monash Malaysia campus should apply to Admissions and Records, Monash University Malaysia, No 2 Jalan Kolej, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia. Applicants who seek to study at the Monash South Africa campus should obtain an application form from the Prospective Students Office in South Africa. Contact the office at Monash South Africa, Private Bag X60, Roodepoort, 1725 or call +27 11 950 4009.
International students whose academic standard is at least equivalent to the minimum required of Australian students can apply for an undergraduate course on a full-fee basis. Full-fee-paying international students should apply directly to the university. Applications for direct entry are available from Monash International, Monash agents overseas or the faculty offices. It is possible to apply for mid-year to most of the faculty's undergraduate courses. For more information, ask at the faculty office or contact a Monash agent overseas.
Most of the undergraduate courses offered by the faculty are available to international students. Under the terms of a student visa, international students are required to study full-time.
For information on the English language requirements for postgraduate students, refer to the International Undergraduate Course Guide for 2003.
On 1 July 2001, the Australian Government introduced major alterations to Australia's Student Visa Program. These changes will have an impact on students applying for a student visa. Please visit the website at http://www.immi.gov.au/students/applying.htm to check English language proficiency test regulations.
The Faculty of Information Technology has developed a website for all credit transfer and articulation programs for local and international students. For further information, visit http://www.infotech.monash.edu.au/ caspa/.
