I've been offered to study bachelor of pharmacy in Monash and I just want to know if the lecturers are any good? I know for sure that I would need someone to depend on to ask questions, do the lecturers have time to tend to our needs? And how likely is it for a pharm student to get into med school?
Thanks :))

I can't speak too specifically for pharmacy but in general the ability of the lecturer depends on many factors, and their effectiveness would differ depending on the students also. I think you should expect to see lecturers that are both very good for you and also others which may not be.
However, I think basically all the lecturers are happy to take questions. You either meet them at their office (they usually give you their office hours) or you can send them an e-mail.
In terms of email just make sure you aren't too casual (at least at first). So you need to properly address them the first time, make sure you include what unit you are asking questions about. Usually one would include the unit in the email subject. If you are asking stuff more student-specific to yourself you would also include your student ID.
I can't really say what is the chance of a pharm student getting into med. I'm sure it's possible though and know of people who are doing that combo.

Hey there!
I did the B.PharmSci on the same campus, and we share mostly the same lecturers across both cohorts! The lecturers I had were extremely friendly and often helpful. Paul White, Roland Chung, Betty Exintaris and Jen Short are definitely a few faves of mine that teach both courses. :)
Lecturers are often available to answer questions, however, some are super busy and may prefer you to contact a tutor or ask on the moodle for the unit. In first year, Parkville also offer additional support classes called PASS classes, run by students with top marks from the years above for some units. The difference between high school and Monash Parkville is that whilst the cohorts are quite small and you get to know the teaching staff well, the learning is more on you, rather than the lecturer spoon feeding the content. The faculty prides itself on active learning, so classes in my experience tend to also be more on the discussion side, where you do most of the readings/learning 'flipped' or after classes.
I'm not sure about the med component, honestly.
Hope this gives a little insight! :)

Hey!
I'm a first year Monash student in 2021. I am just clarifying, is the date for putting in our timetables the 25th of Jan or can we do it earlier? Thank you :)

I'm pretty sure the date can't be earlier, I'm afraid! :)

I believe Allocate+ (the place where you input/get your timetables) opens on the 25th of January.
So you can start inputting preferences from that date. Then on the 5th of February, it closes. You will then receive your timetable in the 16th of February and at the same time allocate+ undergoes an adjustment period where people can change times of classes if there are availabilities. This period closes on the 15th of March.
