How to apply to study at an international Monash campus

This page is for students applying to do a full semester on intercampus exchange.  If you want to apply for the Summer School at Sunway, click here and scroll down to Summer School Applications.

Step by step guide

1. Decide which Monash campus you would like to go to.
2. Use the relevant Monash Australia Handbooks or the campus website to check which units you can take towards your Monash degree. You may be able to get some advice from your faculty exchange adviser (Australia students), student services staff (Malaysia and South Africa students) or your lecturers.
3. Make sure you select enough units for a full time load, which is 24 credit points per semester for undergraduates at all campuses.
4. Write your chosen units on the study plan on the Monash Abroad intercampus exchange application form (see below).
5. Take your study plan to your faculty exchange adviser (Australia students) or student services staff (Malaysia and South African students) who will tell you how to get it approved by your faculty or school.
6. Complete the rest of the Monash Abroad intercampus exchange application form (pdf 819kb) and submit it to the Monash Abroad office (Australia students) or student services office (Malaysia and South Africa students).

You will need to submit:

1. Monash Abroad Intercampus Exchange Application Form (pdf 819kb)
2. Two academic references on the referee report included in the application form
3. One copy of a recent bank statement showing full account details, including account holder's name and BSB number.
4. Passport size photographs (see application form for number needed)
5. Copy of passport including blank pages (if applying to go to Monash Sunway campus)

Hints

1. Although the process is similar to an exchange application, it is much easier because you are simply continuing your Monash course at a different campus.
2. Start your research early -- it takes most students at least 2 months to get their applications ready to submit to Monash Abroad.
3. It can take up to 6 weeks to get your study plan approved by your faculty -- check the normal approval time with your faculty exchange adviser, as you cannot lodge your application with Monash Abroad until your faculty has approved it.
4. MBBS students do not need to complete a study plan or provide academic references but must have their applications signed by their faculty and lodge them by the Monash Abroad deadline, unless they are given an earlier deadline by the faculty.
5. After you have lodged your application with Monash Abroad you will normally receive an offer of admission within 6 weeks.
6. It is possible to transfer to the other Monash campus to complete your degree at the end of your intercampus exchange but you may be charged any difference in fees for the period of your intercampus exchange.
