At the time of enrolment in a course at Monash University, you must be at least 17 years of age, unless one of these two criteria applies:

1. You will be 16 years of age at the time of enrolling at university and you have either:

• a VCE ATAR of 95 or higher or equivalent rank in another qualification recognised by Monash
or
• approval of the Dean of the faculty

2. You will be younger than 16 years of age at the time of enrolment, but you have both:

• a VCE ATAR of 95 or higher or equivalent rank in another qualification recognised by Monash
and
• approval of the Dean of the faculty

If you do not meet the above criteria, the faculty may offer you a deferred place, which you can take up when you meet the age requirements.

Course-specific age requirements

Some courses have specific age requirements due to mandatory placement, accreditation, or regulatory requirements. Check the course page (in particular the Entry requirements and Additional requirements sections) for any course-specific age conditions.
