What this episode’s about
If you’re considering Monash University, there are a few things that make Monash particularly interesting when you're comparing universities and courses. In this episode, I look at the range of courses and double degrees available at Monash, the flexibility this can provide if your plans change, and some of the entry and international opportunities available to students.
I cover:
How is Monash University different from the University of Melbourne? I compare the two major Melbourne universities and look at some of the similarities and differences you might want to consider when deciding between them.
What courses and double degrees does Monash offer? Monash has a very broad range of undergraduate courses, including a large number of double degree combinations. I explain how double degrees work and how they can allow you to combine different areas of study.
How flexible are Monash degrees? I look at the opportunities to explore different interests through double degrees, double majors and electives, and why this flexibility can be useful when you're not yet certain exactly where you want your degree to take you.
Can you transfer courses at Monash? I discuss how Monash's range of courses, double degrees and mid-year entry options can provide flexibility for students who don't initially get into their preferred course. Depending on the circumstances, transferring can also allow students to receive credit for previous study.
What is the Monash Guarantee? I explain how the Monash Guarantee can provide eligible students with a guaranteed place in a Monash course at a lower ATAR than the standard selection rank, subject to the relevant eligibility and course requirements.
What is the Monash Global Immersion Guarantee? I explain this opportunity for eligible first-year students to undertake a funded overseas fieldwork unit as part of their Monash studies, giving students the opportunity to learn from communities and organisations in another country.
If you're comparing Monash University with the University of Melbourne or other Victorian universities, this episode will help you understand Monash's course options, double degrees, pathways and entry schemes, as well as some of the opportunities available to students beyond their regular coursework.
