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 chemistry (chemistry not required for admission to Caulfield or Gippsland). For 1997 admission, selection for engineering degrees at Monash will be based on 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 and CompSt) is available by direct entry only, and an interview is part of the selection process. At Gippsland, school leavers who have not attained the normal entry standard in the mathematics area but who are otherwise well qualified may be admitted to first-year technology. This year is an extension of the first year of the normal Bachelor of Engineering course and commences one month earlier than the normal academic year. Additional tutorial support is provided throughout the year. On successful completion students go on to the normal second year. Subject to availability of places, 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.
Students offered a place in the faculty may defer taking up the offer for one year. In special cases a second year of deferment may be granted on application. Information about deferment may be obtained from the faculty's administration offices on each campus.
