Hello im just wondering is it possible to transfer from civil Engineering at Victoria University to Civil Engineering at monash and what will i need to transfer thanks.

You need to provide more information.
Transfers are almost always possible, sometimes a direct transfer into the same stage of your course is more difficult (eg finish 1 year at VU, go straight into 2nd year at Monash). If the subjects are not equivalent you may not get a full years credit for your past studies. But since the courses are very similar, if your grades are good enough they could allow you a direct transfer.
Afaik you apply through VTAC as usual and then apply for advanced standing credit for your previous studies once you've been accepted.
Because you're not a school leaver your atar is not considered by Monash, only your results from your studies at VU.

Definitely should be possible, i cant think of a reason why it wouldn't be. As you come from a non-GO8 (Group of university, it will be a little more complex but it's doable. Within the GO8 theres an agreement all your previous subjects at other GO8 univesities will be recognised, i don't know (not saying yes or no, i literally just don't know) if all your subjects will be recognised in the event you transfer. You may have to do a limited number of subjects again but in the long run thats no big deal.

The general rule for transferring into undergraduate degrees at monash is about ~70-75%. Since you are coming from another university and not just simply moving around inside Monash, it's likely it'd be closer towards the upper end of that range i gave you. In the end it is all based on supply or demand and it will be as high as it dictates (or the university makes it be) but all in all aim for at least that number.

IF you transfer mid-semester, they take into account your ATAR. If your ATAR was fairly low compared to what Monash engineering needed, this may harm your mid-year application. End of year applications have little weight on the ATAR and much more on your uni marks. Either way, try both options (if available) and definitely contact Monash and ask.
