Flexible study
There are thousands of coursework units for you to choose from in our Monash handbook.
You can find units to study in the handbook through browsing by faculty, or using the search function to find certain keywords in courses (degrees or programs), areas of study (majors or minors), or units at Monash.
You can choose units that are related to your degree back home or units that are completely different, as long as you meet the academic requirements and prerequisites for each unit. Many of our specialist units such as accounting, engineering and law are recognised globally, but it is best to check with the relevant faculty for details.
If you already know what units or areas of study you want to study at Monash and are able to find them in the Monash handbook, then the flexible study option might be the best choice for you.
