Pharmacy (if you are transferring from an undergraduate degree) requires full year results because transfer is only possible at the beginning of the year.
Someone who did first year engineering with me last year transferred at the beginning of this year into pharmacy at Monash . Wow.
Toothpaste:
I think I've said this before but you probably won't get full credit even if you do transfer from engineering or science. The subjects are all made so that they are prerequisites or coreqs for each other:

If you transfer from science and let's say you did a year of first year chemistry, they will probably only give you exemption for PAC1211 Physicochemical Basis of Pharmacy and/or PAC1121 Organic Chemistry. It's actually better NOT to get exemption in a way because the stuff in these units have *some* application to the pharmacy profession (i.e. not as 'general' as what you would do in other chemistry units). If you get exemption, the best thing is having heaps of free time! (but let's face it, you'd waste it anyway).
I don't see how you could get credit for PAC1311 Pharmacy, Health & Society I unless you're transferring from another pharmacy degree. So pretty much, you have to end up doing the 4 years anyway. You cannot overload. You cannot do summer units. If you fail then it's too bad - no supplementary exams for pharmacy = you repeat the unit the year after. Failing puts you in the cohort below you.
Also, yes there's a lot of people who transferred into it and like TinyApple said, there's only semester one (start of year) intakes for pharmacy.

Um, not sure if anyone does pharmacy on this thread but let me tell you this - if you have the enter you're gonna get in. I'm doing pharmacy/commerce and my peers had umat scores of 41 and still got in......I think pharmacy isn't very high on anyone's list these days so people with much lower enters (enter of 90) can get in. umat is pretty much dismissed. so don't stress lol hope you get in :)

Monash? They said in website you need to be top 20% in UMAT or something...unless they are just trying to make you try harder..
