PATHWAYS TO MONASH 2021

Why choose a pathway to Monash? Greater choice We offer one of the widest ranges of degrees and pathways in Australia. As the largest university in the country, our scale means you’ll have access to a wider variety of opportunities.

Fast track to success Most of our pathway programs allow you to progress straight into the second year of your Monash degree on successful completion, or give you credit for the units you’ve studied (meaning you can take fewer subjects for one or two semesters of your degree). This means you could complete your course in the same amount of time as you would have if you’d entered your degree directly.

You might also receive credit for previous university or TAFE/VET units you’ve completed.

A positive student experience At Monash you’re at the centre of everything we do. New ways of teaching and learning are constantly developed, tested and integrated into your course to ensure you get the best university experience and education. And with small class sizes and helpful tutors, you’ll be supported along the way.

Study skills and support services The decision to study at university is exciting, but it’s also a big adjustment. We care about your wellbeing and offer transition programs, peer networking, mentoring and study skills workshops to help you settle in and adjust to uni life.

dream course • are returning to study after working or raising

a family• want to change careers • are transferring from TAFE or another university • want to try university study before committing

to a full degree.

DIPLOMA OF TERTIARY STUDIES (DoTS) If you completed Year 12 but didn’t quite meet the entry requirements for your dream course, DoTS might be the pathway for you. On successful completion, you may receive up to one year of credit towards a range of degrees in business, business administration, education or nursing.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

>Prerequisites >Year 12: Units 3 and 4: a study score of at least 30 in English (EAL) or at least 25 in English other than EAL. >Non-Year 12: As for Year 12 or Year 12 equivalent.

How to apply • Apply via the Victorian Tertiary Admissions

Centre (VTAC) • Complete a VTAC Personal Statement.

More information DoTS is a pathway to degrees in business, business administration, education and nursing, as well as other Monash courses.

When you apply for the diploma, you’ll select a course stream (either business, education or nursing) that will be your area of specialisation leading to your chosen degree.

DoTS will help you become an independent learner and support you by providing an introduction to tertiary studies in your area of interest.

monash.edu/study/courses

Streams Business stream You’ll be introduced to a range of core business disciplines and the impact they have on multi-discipline decision-making in organisations spanning the business, professional and public policy communities. This stream provides a direct pathway1 into the second year of the:

• Bachelor of Business • Bachelor of Business Administration.

Education stream You’ll be introduced to studies about learning, learners and teaching, and build a foundation for the skills and knowledge required to practise as a teacher/educator in a range of educational settings, from early childhood to secondary schools.

This stream provides a direct pathway1 into the second year of the Bachelor of Education (Honours) course, specialising in:

• Early childhood and primary education • Primary education • Primary and secondary health and

physical education• Secondary health and physical education.

If you complete the education stream, you’ll be required to complete a CASPer test and achieve the required standard before gaining admission into the destination degree course.

Nursing stream You’ll be introduced to nursing and healthcare as a profession. You’ll study foundational knowledge in human bioscience, nursing and midwifery, health assessment and professional practice. This stream provides a direct pathway1 into the second year of the Bachelor of Nursing.

Course structure You’ll complete two foundation units and six discipline units within the area of study you’ve chosen. The foundation units provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to be an independent learner who can succeed at university. If you don’t have the mathematics prerequisites for your desired Monash course, you’ll have the opportunity to gain the required level of mathematics via the foundation units. If you already meet the mathematics prerequisites, you’ll take a unit in understanding knowledge and its contexts, which will help you to identify, compare and discuss different approaches to knowledge.

In addition to the direct pathways, you can apply for entry into other courses through VTAC after successfully completing the DoTS. Make sure that you’ve met the prerequisites for your chosen course. Admission into your course will be based on your academic performance and meeting the course prerequisites. All your study is at university level, so if you progress to a degree course you’ll be eligible to apply for credit for prior study. The amount of credit granted will be at the discretion of the relevant faculty and won’t automatically allow for progression into the second year of your preferred course.

Cassandra Kovac dreamed of being a teacher since she was 10 years old, but when she received her Year 12 results she felt as though her world had deflated and didn’t know what her next step would be. Seven years on and now a full-time primary teacher, Cassandra says it was Monash’s pathway program that helped her get there.

“I looked into the different pathway programs that Monash offered and found the Diploma of Tertiary Studies. It was the perfect fit for me. That first year was really fantastic. The DoTs program helped me feel more supported and understand the structure of the University, and just have a really great start. I knew I was on the right track and when I finished, I transferred straight into my second year of a Bachelor of Education with the same teachers and friends. I was really confident and was on the same page as everyone else. The experience made me a better student, and definitely a better teacher.”

SINGLE UNIVERSITY UNITS Can you show us you’re ready to study at university but haven’t yet completed any formal qualifications? Have you finished secondary school and received your required ATAR, but don’t have the prerequisites for the course you want to do? If this sounds like you, single university unit study may be for you. If you’ve completed secondary schooling but didn’t meet the required ATAR, you may also choose to undertake single university units to increase your chances of being admitted into a course. However, this isn’t a guaranteed pathway, as selection decisions will be based on your whole academic history, including your secondary schooling and higher education results.

By studying single units at Monash, you can meet university entry requirements for your desired degree course while getting a taste of university study to see if it’s for you. When you successfully complete a unit, you’ll receive a statement of results that can then be used for applications for further study within a five-year period. Depending on the degree you choose, you could also gain credits for the units you’ve completed. Single units are available on a fee-paying basis only.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS• You must have completed your final four years

of secondary schooling in English. • Additional requirements vary depending on the

subject you’re taking. You may be required to undertake an internal assessment or sit a test.

• If you didn’t complete or achieve the required score in Year 12 English, one of the single university units undertaken must be an English-rich unit.

How to apply Directly to Monash: p: 1800 MONASH (1800 666 274) e: future@monash.edu

More information For more information on the units available to study, view the handbook at handbook.monash.edu

You can also check the relevant faculty website at monash.edu/faculties

Course structure By completing at least two single units, you may be eligible for entry into a large range of undergraduate courses. We encourage you to take units that relate to the course you’d like to study, and to consult the relevant faculty of your destination course.

A 60-per-cent average in single units is usually required to be competitive in selection for entry into a degree course.
