Entry requirements

Minimum entrance requirements for non-school-leavers

TAFE

A pathway exists between the Diploma of Building and Construction (Building) at Holmesglen and Monash's Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure- Design, Construction and Management). Students who complete one and a half years of this TAFE course or equivalent can apply to enter the second year of the three-year technology degree.

University

Monash offers three single units in the areas of mathematics, chemistry and physics that provide a suitable preparation for engineering courses:

ENG1070 Foundation Chemistry

ENG1080 Foundation Physics

ENG1090 Foundation Mathematics

(this unit assumes knowledge equivalent to VCE Mathematical Methods).

These units are similar in content to the VCE units of Chemistry, Physics and Specialist Mathematics or their equivalents. Students undertaking similar units through other institutions should ensure their studies also satisfy the course prerequisites.

Background studies

Because of its specific prerequisite requirements in the areas of English, mathematics and at least one of chemistry or physics, the faculty believes that VCE provides the most suitable preparation for all applicants. However, it recognises the other pathways outlined here.

VCE prerequisites

Units 3 and 4-a study score of at least 30 in English (ESL) or 25 in any other English and a study score of at least 20 in mathematical methods (either) and in one of chemistry or physics.

International Baccalaureate subject prerequisites

English, Mathematics SL or Mathematics HL or Further Mathematics SL and one of Chemistry or Physics at a minimum of grade four at standard level.

English requirements for international students

IELTS 6.5 overall with at least 6.5 in Reading and Listening and 6.0 in Writing and Speaking; or TOEFL 580 with a TWE of 4.5; or a computer-based TOEFL 237 with an Essay Rating (ER) of 5; or an Internet-based TOEFL score of 90 with 22 in Writing and no section lower than 20.
