All students must meet the minimum English requirements for all courses at Monash University. In my.app, you should confirm “Yes” under English proficiency if you completed at least six years of schooling in an English-speaking country before the age of 19, to ensure we can accept the appropriate measure of English proficiency.
I completed my secondary and tertiary studies in a non-English-speaking country and have been living and working in Australia for 10 years, but have not completed any other study in an English-speaking country. Do I need to provide proof of English proficiency?
Yes. You must provide evidence of English proficiency. The most common option is an academic English test (such as IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL) with the required score for your course.
I completed my secondary studies in a non-English-speaking country, but completed my Bachelor’s degree in Australia six years ago and have been living and working here since. Do I need to provide proof of English proficiency?
Yes. There is a time limit for meeting the English requirement through prior studies completed in an English-speaking country. Since you completed your tertiary studies more than five years ago, you will need to provide evidence that you have been residing in Australia for the past three years. This can be a work reference letter or a statement from someone of standing in the community, such as a school principal, doctor, or lawyer, who can confirm this.
I completed my secondary studies in a non-English-speaking country, but completed my Master’s in New Zealand last year. Do I need to provide proof of English proficiency?
Upon submission of your academic documents and verifying your Masters qualification completed in New Zealand, English will have been met if completed in the last 5 years. Once your Masters is verified, no further evidence is needed.
I completed my qualification overseas, however, I hold a valid professional registration with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency). Do I need to provide proof of English proficiency?
Provided you hold current valid professional registration with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) and are applying for a Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, or Faculty of Education course you will be considered to have met minimum English requirements.
