Your study options
Whether you want to get ahead in your career faster, or simply just improve your knowledge, a Monash postgraduate degree can give you a distinct advantage.
Professional entry master’s coursesSome postgraduate courses are specifically designed to prepare people who have completed an undergraduate degree to enter a regulated profession such as law, accounting or teaching. These courses can be two to four years depending on the discipline. While some of these professions can also be studied at undergraduate level, you might make the decision to enter the professional course after you have completed your first degree.
Expert master’s coursesThese courses allow you to either extend knowledge and expertise gained through your undergraduate degree or add breadth to your knowledge and skills within a new or complementary field.
If you complete a four-year bachelor’s degree, you can usually complete an expert master’s degree in the same discipline in only one year meaning you graduate with both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in five years.
ResearchMonash offers research-based postgraduate courses in most disciplines.
These courses offer you the opportunity to pursue your passion in a supportive environment while working with some of the brightest minds. A postgraduate research degree can take between one and four years of full-time study.
Study modes
We understand that postgraduate student’s have many priorities and commitments. That’s why we offer flexible study modes to allow you to build your study around your life.
Most courses are offered in both full-time and part-time study modes. Some units are offered in intensive block mode (usually Thursday to Sunday) allowing you to arrange a short break from work to complete a unit. It’s what works best for you.
Off-campus (Distance learning)You don’t have to be at Monash to study with Monash. Through our online distance learning, you can study with Australia’s biggest and best-known university without ever having to set foot on campus. It’s the perfect option if you need to balance university with work, family and other personal commitments. You’ll study the same units and gain the same qualification as you would if you were on campus. It includes a combination of print study material and electronic communication.
Please note: Studying off-campus with Monash will not entitle you to apply for an Australian student visa.

Dr Michelle McIntoshBachelor of Pharmacy, 1997; PhD, 2000; Graduate Certificate in Higher Education, 2009
Michelle leads a team at Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences working on a project to develop an aerosol delivery system for oxytocin that can be inhaled by patients from
a simple, disposable device immediately after childbirth. Every year more than 100,000 women die of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH), a condition of excessive blood loss after childbirth.
Although PPH can be effectively prevented or treated with an injection of oxytocin, access to this drug is limited due to the requirements for refrigeration, storage and trained medical personnel for administration.

Read more about the amazing work, and ambitious plans for the future in MONASH: Delivering Impact online at monash.edu/monashmag
1986
Our research tradition Even before we became the global university we are today, our researchers looked beyond traditional boundaries, creating new frontiers and discovering new ways of approaching the fields in which they worked. It’s why a Monash education is respected around the world. Things that we now take for granted would not exist without the initial work of Monash researchers:
First in-vitro fertilisation pregnancyProfessors Alan Trounson and Carl Wood achieved the world’s first IVF pregnancy in 1973. The Trounson and Wood team went on to achieve Australia’s first (and the world’s fourth) successful IVF birth in 1980.
Fighting influenzaIn 1986, a team from our Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy) designed and synthesised the anti-flu drug, Relenza. Relenza first became available in Australia in 1999 and is now used globally.
Nobel Peace PrizeIn 2007, eight scientists from Monash University shared in the prestige of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former US Vice-President Al Gore.
We judge our research not only by its academic excellence, but by the impact it has on the communities we engage with and serve.
Our research today Today our ambition and optimism are stronger than ever. We have a clear vision of what we want our research to achieve and how we’ll help our researchers make it happen. Although we conduct research across over 150 fields of study we focus on a number of specialisations. We call these our leading capabilities. We’ve grouped these capabilities into four categories:
■■ health and wellbeing■■ future technologies■■ sustainable environments■■ resilient cultures and communities.
Building stronger, lighter planesProfessor Xinhua Wu and her team at the Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing (MCAM) are creating a new aluminium alloy that will make aircraft 30 to 40 per cent lighter, twice as fuel efficient and still structurally sound. So significant is this project that they are working in close partnership with Microturbo, the European Space Agency and Bombardier.
Helping the blind to seeThe Monash Vision Group (MVG), draws on the capabilities of Monash University, The Alfred hospital, and industry partners MiniFAB and Grey Innovation to develop bionic eye technology which connects to the primary visual cortex.
This means that patients unable to make use of current retinal implants because of damaged optic nerves or physical trauma to the actual eyes may now have the opportunity to see again.
Super sandMonash has teamed up with Rice University (USA) to create a ‘super sand’ which acts as an inexpensive filtration device in third-world countries. They have significantly enhanced the natural filtering properties of sand by coating it with a nanomaterial called graphite oxide (GO). Lack of clean drinking water is the cause of over 2.5 million deaths per year according to the WHO.
Eliminating diseaseThe Eliminate Dengue Program, led by Monash University’s Professor Scott O’Neill, uses a naturally occurring bacteria (Wolbachia) to reduce the ability of mosquitoes to pass dengue between people. Dengue fever affects an estimated 390 million people worldwide annually and is ranked by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world.

Alex Martinis RoeBachelor of Fine Art Doctor of Philosophy
An international perspective and a strong focus on art theory and research have driven Alex Martinis Roe’s success since she completed her Doctor of Philosophy at Monash University with the Silver Jubilee Scholarship in 2010. Alex was further awarded a 2013 Anne and Gordon Samstag International Visual Arts Scholarship, enabling her to undertake post-doctoral research overseas.
Alex first came to Monash as a Bachelor of Fine Art student, where she began to create intellectually engaging works that demanded careful consideration and often engagement from her audience.
“The work I made for my solo exhibition in Dublin in 2011 was a real turning point for me. I managed, for the first time, to bring other people’s voices into an exhibition of mine, in a way that I felt I was happy with, in terms of its politics.”
Through solo exhibitions in Europe, Korea and Australia, Alex is now making a name for herself in international contemporary art. Her current projects focus on feminist genealogies and seek to foster specific and productive relations between different generations, as a way of participating in the construction of feminist histories and futures.
“Motivated by an intense interest in the quality and affect of relations between people and texts, I work as an artist in order to practice a politics of sexual difference,” Alex said.
“This is a positive practice that affirms its genealogy within the history of feminist art practice and then sometimes ruptures it toward a future symbolization of difference.”

Mel chose to pursue her postgraduate studies alongside her full-time career, to have an advantage over other graduates in a competitive job market.
“Tourism isn’t all about holidays! The program has an interdisciplinary focus and covers a wide range of academic fields. Lectures are available outside business hours and block subjects are a fantastic option for full-time workers. I recently took one week of annual leave to complete subject course work in Fiji. This allowed for full immersion into the program and fieldwork study. Staff in the Graduate Tourism program understand the commitments involved in working and studying full-time and they are only a phone call or email away.”

“My PhD taught me a lot about what it means to work in a manner that is mindful of confidentiality, tactful and appreciative of different perspectives. Even the process of ethics clearance teaches you about responsibility and sensitivity in the face of difficult circumstances. The skills learnt through a PhD are definitely transferrable to the workplace.”

I’ve become much more purposeful and process-driven in my approach to work, and my course offered a broad array of strategies and experiences, so that I always have something to fall back on even when I am tackling a project completely out of my comfort zone.”

“I have a degree in Engineering and many years of experience as a telecommunications engineer with a reputable multinational company. I progressed in various roles in the organisation, but had always been passionate about learning, teaching and training. I recognised that being a teacher is both a privilege and a responsibility not just to educate, but to impart, inspire and influence the next generation leaders to excel and succeed. I view this second career opportunity as a form of my calling to contribute back to society, and I hope to leave a lasting impact as my legacy.”

Elaine WanMaster of Occupational Therapy Practice
“I originally studied a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in psychology but I also had a desire for a career in health care where I could contribute to the community and help others. Studying the Master of Occupational Therapy Practice has been an exciting and rewarding journey where I’ve be able to help people to do meaningful occupations and participate in the activities of everyday life.
I’ve had the pleasure of learning about the theory and practice of occupational therapy from taking part in practical workshops, listening to guest speakers talk about, and demonstrate, the practical side of OT and learning about how to use different aids and equipment available in the industry. I’ve been exposed to new learning experiences that have challenged my way of thinking.
From the knowledge and skills that I’ve learnt from this course and on placement, I’m prepared to be able to support individuals to live independently again.”

“During my Honours year I worked on neural stem cells and was in awe of how intricate and complex the brain was. I then went on to do a PhD that investigated how stress affects the progression of cancer. Anecdotally, it made perfect sense. I had often noticed that I would get sick during stressful times and I’m sure many can relate. Now, we have research to support it and are developing ways to stop it.”

“I loved the Biomedical science units and I did some summer vacation work in biochemistry, and that helped me make a decision that I wanted to do research. My ultimate goal is to combine research and teaching.
My research is in the Eliminate Dengue lab. The research that we do is injecting Wolbachia bacteria into mosquitoes to block Dengue virus transmission, and my research is thinking about what kind of genes are regulated when mosquitoes have Dengue virus. I’m also working in the insectary raising mosquitoes for my experiments, which involves making sure I have the human volunteers to feed my mosquitoes.”

■■ the international entry requirements
■■ extra documentation required, for example, details of relevant work experience
■■ fees
■■ closing dates
■■ when courses start
When should I apply?Apply as early as possible. Some courses have application closing dates two to four months prior to the start of the course, while others have quotas. Aim to have your application received by Central Admissions at least two to four months prior to the course start date. This allows time for your application to be processed and can help to ensure that you secure a place if your preferred course has limited places. Applying early also gives you time to get your student visas, which can take up to six months for some nationalities and countries.
Step 1: ApplyTo apply online please refer to the following website for a step-by-step guide:
study.monash/how-to-apply
To submit a hard copy application to Monash University Australia, complete the International Application Form located at the back of this guide, ensuring that all sections are completed and the declaration is signed and dated before you send the application.
You may wish to apply though a Monash registered agent. Some agents may charge a fee for additional services so please ask what these costs are before you make an appointment. To find a Monash registered agent near you please visit:

International students applying for postgraduate degrees by coursework offered by the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences are required to apply online. Hard copy applications are not accepted.
Step 2: Your application is assessedWhen your application is received, Monash University will assess your application according to university entry requirements. To comply with Australian law your application will be assessed to check that you are genuinely seeking temporary entry to Australia to study. If your application is successful, you will receive an offer in the form of an International Student Course Agreement (ISCA). This will be emailed to you and your Monash registered agent (if you have one). Instructions will be supplied on how to accept your offer, including the fees and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) you need to pay.
If we are not able to make you a full offer immediately, you may receive a conditional offer. A conditional offer means you must submit more information and meet the requirements specified in the ISCA. Usually, the information we need is documentation (for example official final transcript, graduation certificate or an English proficiency test) to see if you meet the specific entry requirements for the course you have applied for.
We will explain what is needed in the ISCA. Please submit the documentation to us as soon as possible or contact us if you need any help. If you are not successful for your first preference your application will be considered for your next preference.
Step 3: Accept your offerTo accept your offer, follow the instructions in your ISCA. You must complete, sign and return Part B of your ISCA along with payment and a photocopy of the personal details page of your passport before the offer lapse date.

Helping you get into Monash
To succeed at Monash, you will need excellent English language skills. The Monash University English Language Centre is dedicated to preparing students for success by helping them gain fluency in English and confidence in the academic skills required at Monash.
The Centre offers three different programs, all designed to meet the specific requirements of the Monash course you’re aiming to enter. When you apply, we will assess your present skills and place you in the best program for your level.
■■ Monash English (ME) – a program with flexible duration designed to build on students’ current English proficiency and prepare them for entry into MEB or the University.
■■ Monash English Bridging (MEB)* – a 10 or 15-week program for students who have met the academic requirements for Monash but have narrowly missed the English language requirements. MEB prepares students for the English and academic expectations of Monash.
■■ Introductory Academic Program (IAP) – a five-week program for students who have received a full offer to Monash University. IAP is focused on further enhancing the study skills required for success at Monash.
