How to apply

Admission via a Foundation year and IELTS. Master's admission is based on your bachelor's degree.

Admission to Monash University takes six months or more; here are the key stages:

  1. Choose a program (9–12 months ahead). Decide on the field — business, design, architecture and pharmacy — and the level: bachelor’s or master’s. Programs differ in requirements, deadlines and fees.
  2. Language certificate. Usually IELTS; the exact score depends on the university and program.
  3. Application. Applications are submitted online; once reviewed, the university sends an offer — with it you can plan finances and housing.
  4. Student visa and relocation. After the offer, a student visa or residence permit for Australia is arranged. We handle this stage end to end.

After 11 years of school. Not directly: you need Foundation (a year) or the college Diploma track with transfer straight to year 2 - usually the faster and cheaper option.

Documents for admission

  • Passport
  • School certificate and transcript

Career after graduation

After graduation. The Temporary Graduate Visa gives several years of work rights - one of the clearest routes to skilled migration.

The strong fields of Monash University are business, design, architecture and pharmacy. As at most universities in Australia, students have access to a career centre, job fairs and internships — use them from the first semesters: hands-on experience is decisive for the first job.

An alternative track is further study: a bachelor’s degree earned in Australia opens master’s programs worldwide, and a master’s strengthens your position on the job market.
