Faculty contacts

In order to study overseas you must fulfill any specific requirements of your faculty, as well as the university wide requirements described elsewhere on the Monash Abroad website.

Any study you plan to do overseas must be approved in advance by your faculty to ensure that you receive credit towards your Monash degree.

There are exchange advisers in every faculty who can explain your faculty's requirements and help you obtain approval for your overseas study plan for exchanges, intercampus exchanges and study abroad.  The approval process varies between faculties and courses so make sure you talk to your faculty exchange adviser about what you will need to do.

Faculty exchange advisers can also help you select units to study overseas and, in some cases, can provide lists of overseas units which have been approved before.

Faculty approval for short term international study programs is given by the program coordinators, not the exchange advisers listed below.

Faculty requirements 
  • You cannot apply to go on exchange or intercampus exchange until you have completed 48 credit points of your course and received your results.

  • Approval will only be given to study core units overseas if the content of the overseas unit is 80% identical to the Monash core unit.  It is generally easier to get approval to study electives overseas.
  • Students applying to go to universities in Canada and the USA must enrol in 5 courses (usually 15 credits) in order to receive 24 Monash credit points.
  • You can normally only go overseas on exchange or intercampus exchange in your last semester if you are doing all electives - check with your course coordinator.
  • If you expect to apply for professional accreditation after you have graduated, check with your course coordinator whether your overseas study will be recognised for accreditation purposes.

  • MBA students must seek advice from the MBA exchange coordinator before preparing your application as there are specific requirements for MBA exchanges.

    • prerequisites
    • year level
    • credit points (in host university scale)
    • hours of class time
  • If these are not available on the host university website, contact Monash Abroad for assistance.
