Eligibility requirements and applications

Exchange and intercampus exchange

To be eligible for the exchange program you must have:

Completed at least 48 credit points of your course at Monash (except Engineering and Law)
- Engineering students must complete 96 credit points (less for intercampus exchanges between Monash Australia and Malaysia)
- Law students (single or double degree) must complete 72 credit points in total which must include 48 credit points of compulsory or quasi compulsory units from the Bachelor of Laws. These 48 credit points of Law units can be completed at Monash or been given specified credit from another institution.
An active enrolment in a Monash undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree program at any campus in Australia , Malaysia or South Africa
A credit average (60%) in the results so far in your current course
Complied with any additional requirements of your faculty and had your overseas study plan approved by your faculty
Applied for a country other then your country of citizenship
Selected a full time load of on-campus units at the overseas university
Been assessed by a process of consultation with Monash Abroad and faculty staff as a suitable representative of Monash University

Other factors which are taken into account include:

The number of exchange places available at the host university. In the unlikely event that no places are available you will be given the opportunity to apply for another university.
Students enrolled in Bachelor of Medicine, Nursing or Pharmacy degrees cannot currently go overseas on exchange, although they can do clinical placements overseas. Some opportunities for nursing, emergency health and pharmaceutical science students to do exchanges will become available in 2009 - watch this website for details.
Some faculties may not permit you to undertake overseas study during the final semester of your course - check with your faculty exchange adviser before applying.
Monash students at the campuses in Malaysia and South Africa can participate in exchanges to third countries (eg to Sweden or the USA) provided they meet the eligibility criteria.
Monash part-time and distance education students can participate in the exchange progam but must study full time on-campus while overseas.

To be eligible for an international study program you must:

Have an active enrolment in a Monash undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree program.
Receive academic recognition for your participation (eg credit towards your Monash degree, subject assessment fulfilment or completion of a professional or clinical requirement).
Fulfil the requirements of the faculty arranging the international study program.

Other factors which are taken into account include:

International students can participate in short term programs, but will not normally receive travel grants to undertake studies in their home country.
Monash students at the campuses in Malaysia and South Africa can participate in short term programs where the organising faculty allows this and will be eligible for travel grants.

Faculty program coordinators select students to go on their international study programs. The Monash Abroad office determines whether participating students are eligible for a Monash Abroad travel grant.

The application process depends on the program you wish to undertake.
