The opportunity exists for international students, whose academic standard is at least equivalent to the minimum required of Australian students, to 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.
When applying for a course, international students must provide proof of their proficiency in English. Alternatively, if a student is awaiting results from an English proficiency test and the minimum academic entrance requirements have been met, a student may be granted a conditional offer for a course. Students who receive a conditional offer must provide proof of meeting the condition specified in the offer (eg English proficiency), prior to or on the enrolment date. Details of the English proficiency requirements are available from any of the faculty offices.
International students should also read the earlier section `Information for all students'. In addition to the assistance outlined in that section the faculty has a number of staff who are available to assist international students.
Administrative staff are available to assist with matters relating to enrolment. The undergraduate studies coordinators and postgraduate studies officers are available to assist with course progression matters.
The international programs coordinator provides advice on entry requirements, application procedures, enrolment matters and the faculty's international programs.
Language support staff are available at the faculty level and the university level. Students are strongly encouraged to make use of these services.
Details on the location of these staff are available at the faculty offices.
