Missed out on pre-reqs? Bridging courses are available (Swinburne and Monash)
lm21074:
Just wanted to bump this thread and mention that Monash no longer offers a methods bridging course. See edit below. Should you not be able to satisfy the methods prerequisite with the bridging course, a way you can satisfy the prerequisite is to choose another course that doesn't have the methods prerequisite and take the unit MTH1010 (equivalent of MM 3&4), then do an internal transfer after a semester or year. Be sure to have a look at the requirements to transfer into said course (e.g. minimum WAM and/or other prerequisite subjects you may need to take).
EDIT: It seems like Monash has reintroduced their bridging course for Methods but it cannot be counted as satisfying the prerequisite for all courses. Your best bet is to contact Monash to ask if you can take the bridging course to satisfy the Methods prerequisite if you're doing a course not listed on the page. The list of "applicable courses" excludes the double degrees from Monash Business School that include Engineering. See here
UniMelb has a bridging course for methods, Calculus and Probability Online. See more information about it here.
Good luck and all the best to those who have received / will be receiving their ATARs :)

Why does Monash not offer a bridging course anymore?

The most likely reasons are usually that there wasn’t a lot of demand or not enough funding for it.

Hey i'm really confused rn I want to study Biomedical science at Monash but didn't study methods, I spoke to someone at Monash and they told me to apply for the maths bridging course and I possibly can receive an offer for biomedical science upon completing it. So the program is still running:-\?? I'll link it here: https://www.monash.edu/business/maths-bridging/pdb1042
Also, does anyone know anything about the program? I'm starting it this week so any tips would help!

Hey,
If someone at Monash told you that is the bridging course, then they must be still running it (but not through Monash College a anymore it seems). Thanks for letting us know and sorry about the confusion!
The only information I can find about the bridging course is what's on the website (the 1 hour daily workshop and 2 hour lectures). It looks like interspersed with those are five minor assessments (most likely quizzes / problem sets on each of the five topics, Functions and graphs, Algebra, Calculus and Probability and statistics) and a final test at the end.
Good luck!
