Where brilliant begins

Where brilliant begins

There are all kinds of brilliant in the world.

Some can get you a trophy. Others can fill your bank account. There are even kinds that make you famous. But the brilliant we believe in is much bigger than that. It’s the kind that makes a difference.

From changing who you are, to changing the lives of others, it can lead us anywhere. But it’s fair to say, not just anywhere can lead to our type of brilliant.

It needs to be encouraged. It needs to be nurtured. And most of all it needs a chance. At Monash, we do everything we can to give it just that.

That’s why we’ll never corner people into a course because it’s convenient. Nor tell them what they can’t do instead of what they can. Instead, we provide a world-class education to our students to give them the knowledge, the capacity and the courage to go on and do things that without us wouldn’t be possible.

That’s where brilliant is born. That’s where it thrives. And that’s why Monash University is where brilliant begins.

To get into a university course, you’ll need to have studied certain subjects in Years 11 and 12. While this can seem daunting, it doesn’t have to be. Unless you know exactly what you want to do at university, you’ll probably ask yourself questions like:

— “Will I make the right decision?”

— “What if I change my mind?”

— “What do I need to do now?”

— “What can wait until another time – when things are clearer?”

It’s no wonder, when a lot of people spend a lot of time telling you the choices you make now will affect the career choices you’ll have later.

The good news is most of these questions have reasonably simple answers. Answers you should find in this brochure. Answers that will help you to make the right choices when the time comes.

So, take a deep breath and take each decision one step at a time. Understand that as long as you’re making the right kinds of decisions, the possibilities available to you will remain open.

So why would you choose to study at Monash?Monash University changes lives.

A Monash degree gives you the skills and knowledge you’ll need to create a career.

It can change the direction of your life. Or take you further in your chosen direction than you believed possible. It will give you more options.

We do it by taking you out of your comfort zone. In doing so, you’ll go higher than you thought you could go, faster than you can imagine.

The Monash way is different to many. It lets you dive into your area of interest from day one. And, while this can be challenging, you’ll get the support you need to meet those challenges. It’s all about giving you the best possible chance to make the best possible life you can.

helping you make the right choices

Some people know exactly what they want to be. They know what university they want to go to, what degree they’ll be doing and what subjects they’ll need to do to be eligible for that degree. For those students, course information is available from page 18. But you might still be considering your options. If this is you then we can help you start the decision-making process.

Pick a degree that will give you a career you’ll enjoyMost of our graduates will tell you this: the more energy you put into a degree, the more you get out of it, with better grades and better experiences.

If your degree is based on something you like to do, and involves subjects you know you enjoy and are good at, you are more likely to succeed.

Talk to people. But decide for yourselfIt’s always good to talk to people who know you – talk about your options with parents, uncles, aunts, friends, teachers and career advisers about what they think you are good at. Ask professionals what it’s like to be an accountant, doctor, engineer, lawyer, nurse or teacher. Or try work experience – it’s a great way to get a taste of a career that interests you.

Handy hints on making the right choice, for youThe right choice for someone else is probably not the right choice for you.

To help you make the right choices, start on the ‘ask yourself’ step. The flow chart will help you understand what you need to know and guide you to the parts of this brochure with more information about that issue.

While you need to choose your subjects for next year, you don’t need to choose your degreeAll Monash courses require you complete English. On top of that – as a general rule – most (but not all) courses will require you have one Year 12 subject that is related to the discipline of the degree.

For example, a commerce course will require maths, a visual arts course will require art or studio art and a science course will require one science-based subject such as chemistry, biology, physics etc.

So you will find that you really do have a lot of flexibility in choosing your other subjects.

things to know aboutuniversity


Prerequisite subjectsAdmission to university courses requires specific subjects in Years 11 and 12. These are called prerequisite subjects. If you do not have these prerequisites, you will not be considered for that course – no matter what your ATAR. You may also need to achieve a minimum score in a prerequisite subject.

How it works at MonashAll applicants for courses at Monash are required to successfully complete an English subject (any) at Year 12. Other prerequisites are listed under each course entry in this guide. If there are no prerequisite subjects listed, then you do not have to do any specific subjects (other than English) for that course.

Other places to lookEntry requirements can change. Please consult Monash Course Finder closer to enrolment to confirm: www.monash.edu/study/coursefinder.

The Victorian Tertiary Entrance Requirements (VICTER) lists all of the prerequisite subjects for courses you might want to apply for in two years time. It is important that you check VICTER before you choose your Year 11 and 12 subjects. The Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) also publishes a very handy guide for you to check prerequisite subjects.

International Baccalaureate (IB) students should check the requirements for the course of their choice at www.monash.edu/coursefinder.

For more information on Monash University admissions policies, including the minimum English language requirements, age requirements and general admission information, visit www.adm.monash.edu/ admissions.

Types of coursesMonash is Australia’s largest university, offering more courses across eight campuses and 10 faculties. You have two main choices. You can do a general degree, or you can specialise.

You can also choose part-time or full-time study, single or double degrees, or the campus you study.

What is a general degree?A general degree gives you information about a general area of study and includes courses such as the Bachelors of Arts, Science, Economics and Commerce. These degrees give you a solid grounding in a particular area of study. You can then take those skills and use them as the stepping stone into a career, or go on with their studies and specialise later. Many students choose to start with a general degree, then choose a specialty once they have a better idea about what really interests them.

What is a specialist degree?A specialist degree gives skills in a more defined area. For instance, if you wish to become a radiographer, you can study the Bachelor of Radiography and Medical Imaging from day one.

What is a single degree?Degree courses usually take between three and six years of full-time study depending on the subject. For example, an Engineering degree takes four years to complete while an Arts degree takes three. This guide will give you a good indication of the range of single degrees that are available to you at Monash.

What is a double degree?Double degrees allow you to take two degrees at the same time by studying in two completely different fields, for example law and engineering or science and business. You graduate with two different bachelor degrees, offering you more career flexibility and opportunity.

Completing a double degree doesn’t take twice as long. Electives from one area can count towards the other, meaning it generally only takes a year longer to complete than a single degree. This is based on a standard full-time study load of 48 credit points. No more than a single degree. For example, you can graduate with a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in four years.

If you are interested in a double degree, you need to meet the prerequisites for both degrees. All double degrees are listed in the Monash Undergraduate Course Guide 2013 and VICTER.

What is an associate degree?An associate degree is a two-year pathway course to an undergraduate degree. The normal qualification level is usually Year 12. It is most suited to students who do not have the ATAR score to enter their chosen Monash degree. After completing an associate degree successfully, you can enter the third year of a related bachelor’s degree and then graduate with a full Monash undergraduate degree.

What is a double award?Monash also offers double award programs. This allows you to complete a university degree and a TAFE qualification at the same time. One example is the Bachelor of Communication and Diploma of Arts (Professional Writing and Editing). A double award program gives you good theoretical understanding as well as practical skills. It can help to make you more employable at the end of your course.

What is a faculty?A collection of academic departments of similar disciplines grouped together.

Monash has 10 faculties.

— Art Design & Architecture

— Arts

— Business and Economics

— Education

— Engineering

— Information Technology

— Law

— Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences

— Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences

— Science

Why do a double degree?Around 20% of Monash students take a double degree program. Research shows that graduates with a double degree are more likely to find permanent employment than those with a single degree (Graduate Destinations, Graduate Careers Australia).

sometimes ambition needs a helping hand

The path to brilliance isn’t always easy. Sometimes you don’t get the score you need to get into a specific course. Sometimes, you don’t get the score to get into university at all. Sometimes, you have the score, but can’t see how you’re going to cover the cost. But don’t worry. We can help. We have courses to help you get into university and we have scholarships and bursaries to help you when you are here.

Diploma of Tertiary Studies (DoTS)If you don’t get the ATAR score required for the course you want, the Diploma of Tertiary Studies gives you another way in. As long as you have an ATAR of 50 or above, this diploma lets you to apply to Monash and immediately begin studying first-year units in a range of disciplines.

Once you successfully complete the program, you can apply for selected degrees at our Berwick, Gippsland and Peninsula campuses. These degrees cover arts, art and design, business, education, nursing and science. You will also, as long as you have the results, receive full credit to go into the second year.
