Course transfer
The University has formal policies and procedures to ensure a consistent approach to the selection of course transfer applicants across the ten faculties and between course transfer applicants and applicants entering courses via other pathways. This process is managed within the framework of the University internal transfer policy and the procedures made pursuant to that policy.Eligibility for course transfer
To be eligible for a course transfer, you must meet all of the following:- be a current student who will be continuing their program of study (in other words, you have not completed your current degree).
- complete a minimum of 12 points of study at Monash
- meet the VCE, IB or equivalent prerequisites for the course to which you wish to transfer. Prerequisites for engineering programs are listed on Course Finder.
Double degrees
Applications for course transfer into engineering double degree programs offered with the faculties of Business and Economics (Gippsland only), Law, and Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences should be submitted to the managing (non-engineering) faculty. As engineering does not select for these programs, the partner faculty's selection criteria and application processes apply.| Applying to transfer into: | Submit your application to: |
| All engineering single degrees | Engineering |
| Double degrees with Architectural or Industrial design | Engineering |
| Double degrees with Arts | Engineering |
| Double degree with Biomedical science | Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences |
| Double degrees with Commerce (Gippsland) | Business and Economics |
| Double degrees with Commerce | Engineering |
| Double degrees with Law | Law |
| Double degree with Pharmaceutical science | Engineering |
| Double degrees with Science | Engineering |
Students wishing to exit their double-degree program and graduate with a single engineering degree, prior to having completed all the requirements for the double degree, will have to revert to single engineering degree candidature and complete all core and elective units and the requisite 192 credit points in order to satisfy the academic requirements for completion of that degree.
Selection is part of a competitive process that takes into consideration several factors including the number of places available and the strength of the applicant pool. As these factors may vary from year to year and the level of performance required to be offered a course transfer into an engineering program may also vary. Detailed below is a table of the minimum weighted averages required to be considered for an offer into the relevant program. These averages should be used as a guide only as a higher standard may be required in any year. Students who do not meet the minimum averages will not be considered for admission.
| Course | Average required for CSP place |
| Aerospace engineering single and double degrees | >= 70.00% |
| All other single degrees | >= 60.00% |
| All other double degrees | >= 60.00% |
Transfer into the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) also requires students to meet a minimum portfolio requirement and attend an interview. For further information contact the Faculty of Art and Design.
How to apply for programs managed by engineering
Complete the online internal course transfer for students already studying in Australia. Sunway students on exchange should complete the online Sunway transfer form.Deadlines for submission of applications
Please refer to the closing dates for student forms for submission deadlines. The Faculty of Engineering will not accept late applications.Mid year applications
Students should check with the Faculty of Business and Economics, Faculty of Law and and the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences to determine if applications for double degrees managed by those faculties will be accepted at mid-year.Courses available for mid-year 2012 course transfer:
| Course Code | Course | Campus |
| 3275 | Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering | Clayton |
| 3274 | Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering | Gippsland |
| 2350 | Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering | Clayton |
| 0032 | Bachelor of Engineering | Clayton |
| 1253 | Bachelor of Environmental Engineering | Clayton |
Course transfer for Sunway students
If you are a mechatronics student who commenced your course at mid-year on the Sunway campus please bear in mind that if you are opting to transfer to Clayton campus you will experience sequencing issues with the timetabling of mechatronics units.Due to this issue, the Faculty of Engineering at Clayton campus does not allow midyear intake to the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering for any other student cohort.
Please note: If you are a mechatronics student who commenced in a semester one intake at Sunway campus there are no sequencing issues so the above does not apply.
