Hi guys! Just wondering what the needed WAM is in order to be considered for transfer into the Physiotherapy course at Monash or Latrobe? And how many spots are available for transfer?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there is any guranteed/set amount of spots to transfer and that will depend from year to year.

From a monash perspective (since I only know about that):

One of my friends ended up getting in (transfer) with a WAM ~85 after 1 year but he did also say that a lot others got in with WAMs at the lower end  ~ low 70's WAM.

Also from your title you mention UniMelb which is post grad physio so you won't be transferring.

Oh okay, cool! Do you know how many available spots there were in your friend’s year, since I’m trying to gauge my chances of successfully transferring into Physio haha

And is a WAM of 70 difficult to maintain, in your opinion? Also was it easy/difficult for your friend to maintain such a high WAM?

Thanks so much in advance!

not too sure how many places there was but it will differ every year

I personally don't think a 70WAM is too difficult to keep up as long as you are doing units suited to your strengths and stuff that you enjoy. Not sure how hard it was for him, he is generally very hardworking so put in a lot of time for is work. Although people could put less effort get higher or more effort and get lower.  Having said that imo at uni you are generally getting scores that you deserve in terms of working hard whilst inherent ability will make it easier to achieve those goals.

If I was seriously wanting to transfer to physio I would be at least for 80+ WAM tbh.

Alright thanks, and also would you happen to know how the Peninsula campus is like? In terms of the student environment and stuff like that, because since it is a smaller campus perhaps it’s a little limited? Any thoughts?

Thanks?
