Hi shezz.iazz,
Mathematical Methods is not a prerequisite for the 5 year direct-entry Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) course at Monash University. Year 12 English, Chemistry are the only two prerequisites for this course. Selection will be based on a range of criteria, including overall Year 12 performance, UMAT and Multiple-Mini Interview (MMI). In essence, prerequisites are studies you must have completed to be eligible for selection into our courses. If a subject is not listed as a prerequisite, it will not be required for admission.
However, if you would also like to expand your options for our 4 year graduate-entry medicine course, Mathematical Methods may be required for one of the pathway courses. In essence, places in this graduate-entry medicine program will only be open to students who graduate from one of the following programs at Monash University:
- Bachelor of Biomedical Science
- Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours)
- Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours)
- Bachelor of Science (dependent on completion of designated units).
Of the above courses, the Bachelor of Biomedical Science is the recommended course as a pathway into Medicine, with at least 50 of the 75 places reserved for this cohort. The prerequisites for this course include Year 12 English, Chemistry, and one of either Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics or Physics.

Hi,
On the Monash Uni website for the course Undergraduate Medicine, Mathematical Methods is not a pre requisite. However, does doing mathematical methods have any effect on your chances of getting into medicine?. As I have seen whoever has gotten into medicine at Monash has done mathematical methods. I have also asked Monash Uni representatives at career expos and they have replied with saying Mathematical methods has absolutely no effect on your chances for medicine. I was wondering if you could maybe elaborate more on this or maybe let me know if you do know some people who have gotten into undergraduate medicine at Monash without doing Mathematical methods, I am not asking for their contacts or names but just a rough number of people who have gotten into the course without mathematical methods.
Thank you.
