Hi Monash,
When will the work experience for Year 10 be out for 2019 (next year)? I've emailed "Laura Reid" two weeks ago, who is apparently in charge of extra curricular but haven't received anything.
Thanks

Just a reminder that it is the holiday period and Ask Monash rarely posts on here anymore. It would be best to contact them directly when they are on campus.

Ok -___-
Do you think by email or phone?
I want to get this done early! Cause i'm stressed I won't find a work experience I want.

By phone if you want it sorted ASAP. Email takes a few days at least - i'd assume probably a bit longer given the holidays (and the fact your email will probably be passed onto multiple people as it tries to find the correct person). It's good you know the person to contact too, will make things easier.

Pretty much as Aaron has stated above. Laura is likely on a break (and might've been since two weeks ago), as is the university until January 2 as it's the holiday season. To be honest, I probably would wait and give it a few weeks to have things like Work Experience to be sorted out and/or prioritised. Unfortunately, Work Experience is generally one of those things that take a bit of organising on their side and, with the holiday season going on, the fastest something like this would be sorted out is probably mid-January at the earliest. Probably check the application website every now and then after the new year arrives, and then call if nothing has been put up by mid-January and you haven't received any replies.

Ok Thanks both.
May consider something else then because I like getting things done early but I'll call in some time soon to have a check.

Does the current website signify that they are changing the dates?

Or is it a technical issue?
Thanks

Could be either, although usually because they’re revamping the site. I’d start to worry if it goes on past Jan 2 (because holidays). Don’t worry. Will most likely be up soon.

How can you apply for the Monash Engineering Leadership program? Can you get considered through ATAR?

[AngelWings]

I've noticed that Monash has specialised degrees and am wondering if you are able to take two specialisations?

Did you mean specialisations as in like double degrees e.g. BBus/BusSpec (btw, I don't think this degree is running in 2019, but I may be wrong), double majoring in two areas (e.g. BBus majoring in Business Management + Banking and Finance) or something else?

This link may help. There's a link to apply in the "Eligibility and how to apply" section, but you won't be eligible until you're enrolled into uni and completed a year of study. And no, it's not by ATAR according to the link, but by written application and interview.

Yes, sorry, I mean two specialisations as two double degrees. 
My first preference at the moment is Bachelor of Business and Accounting (with accounting being the specialist), but I’d like to do Public Relations as a second specialist degree, and replace it with Business. Is it possible to do that?

(Note: Public Relations can only be studied within the Bachelor of Media Communications)
Do you mean to ask whether you can study a Bachelor of Media Communications/Bachelor of Accounting double degree? I believe the answer is no - you cannot combine degrees unless there is already a pre-existing double degree (because the two faculties have to come up with an agreement and plan for each double degree), which from my knowledge there is not in this case. However, there does exists a Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Media Communications double degree, where you can study an accounting major and public relations specialisation, respectively. The main difference here would be you would have less opportunity to complete accounting units in the Bachelor of Business, compared to the Bachelor of Accounting.

Hope that helps

if i go to deakin for optometry this year and find that i don't like it, or happen to fail a unit which would set me back a year in the course, would i be able to do an external transfer into monash physiotherapy for the following year? if so, would failing a unit at deakin greatly affect my chances of getting in?

If you’re intending on doing the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) at Monash via this path, you will only be able to apply as a mature age student via VTAC and you won’t be transferring but effectively starting the degree anew. I don't know if your uni grades will count or be used during the application process, but you’ll still have to make all the prerequisites and such either via VCE or equivalent uni subjects. Please call Monash Connect to confirm the finer details.

I am currently studying a degree at another University and I have a strong desire to study Physiotherapy at Monash University. Can I transfer into this degree?
Unfortunately, you cannot transfer into the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours); you must apply through VTAC as a non-year 12 applicant.
Applications must be submitted to VTAC. As a non-current year 12 applicant you must meet the pre-requisite requirements (as outlined at Mature aged).

Hi,
I am considering doing commerce and law and was wondering what this double degree is like. How many contact hours are there and is the course difficult. How is the course structured and what does this course involve?
Thanks,
Abi
