English Language Proficiency
Exchange and study abroad students applying to come to Monash must meet the same Monash English language requirements as all other students. With your application you must provide documentary evidence that you meet one of the following requirements:
- An IELTS or TOEFL test taken less than 2 years before commencement at Monash which shows you have achieved the minimum scores listed in the table below; or
- if you are applying for undergraduate units, you have satisfactorily completed at least two semesters within the last two years, or two years within the last five years, at a university where English is the language of instruction and assessment for the entire institution; or
- if you are applying for postgraduate units, you have satisfactorily completed at least three semesters within the last two years, or three years within the last five years, at a university where English is the language of instruction and assessment for the entire institution; or
- If you are a student from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway or Sweden, you have achieved specified grades in specified subjects at secondary school (see your study abroad office for details).
While Monash accepts either an IELTS or TOEFL test, in some countries an IELTS test is required to obtain an Australian student visa -- see the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website for details.
If you are just below the minimum English entry scores, you should consider doing an English language bridging program at Monash to bring your English up to the necessary level.
If you are accepted at Monash as an exchange or study abroad student and English is not your first language, you should consider doing some of the special units which will give you good insights into Australian culture and language.
Minimum IELTS and TOEFL test scores
The minimum scores required for students seeking entry to Monash are listed below.
If you are relying on an IELTS or TOEFL test to prove your English language proficiency you must submit with your application an original test result undertaken within 24 months prior to your intended study commencement date which shows you have achieved the following results:
