Minimum age requirements

The course entry requirements are best found on the relevant course page of the course you want to study, but we’ve broken down some of the core requirements here.

Minimum age requirements

You must be at least 17 years of age to enrol in a Monash course. Some exemptions may apply. Learn more about the criteria that apply.
Academic entry requirements

All Monash courses have a minimum entry requirement based on prior study, whether that’s at secondary or tertiary level. Monash undergraduate courses require successful completion of a minimum of an Australian Year 12 qualification and achieving the required academic entry score, or equivalent. Monash postgraduate courses require successful completion of a minimum of an Australian Bachelor degree and achieve the required academic entry score, or equivalent. The Bachelor degree may also need to be in a related field to the Monash postgraduate course you're applying for. You’ll find details of the academic requirements listed on the relevant course page.
English language requirements

To study at Monash University, you must meet the minimum English language requirements. You may need to demonstrate your proficiency in English so we can be sure you’ll get the best educational experience you can. Some courses may have higher English language requirements.
Prerequisite subjects

Some Monash courses require you to have previously studied and achieved required Australian level standards in specific subjects known as prerequisite subjects. Prerequisite subjects differ from course to course, and can be found in the ‘entry requirement’ tab of the relevant course pages.
Additional requirements

For some courses there are additional requirements like attending an interview, presenting a portfolio of your work, auditioning, completing a non-academic test or other requirements. You’ll find details of these additional requirements listed on the relevant course page.
Special requirements

There are specific courses that require you to meet special requirements like mandatory compliance checks, fitness checks, police checks, working with children checks, immunisation and vaccine requirements or other requirements. You may need to meet these requirements before you commence clinical or field placements or prior to commencing your course. You’ll find details of these special requirements under the relevant handbook course page.
Aptitude tests

Aptitude tests are used for some courses as an additional entry pathway or as extra requirements for course entry. Where required, we consider the results of these admission tests when selecting students. Learn more about these tests.
