English language requirements
When you apply for a Monash University undergraduate course you
must satisfy English entry requirements. Different English entry levels
apply to undergraduate courses. If you have completed several
measures of English proficiency over a period of time, only the most
recent demonstration of English is considered. English requirements
can be met in one of the following ways:
1. English (Australian Year 12 equivalent): Students must complete
an English subject that is equivalent to units 3 and 4 of VCE
English and also meet the required prerequis ite score for the
Monash University course they have applied for. The equivalent
English subject must be taken within two years prior to the course
commencement date (other time limitation periods may apply).
2. English is the language of instruction, communication and
assessment for the entire institution: You must have satisfactorily
completed a minimum of 48 Monash credit points (two standard
full-time semesters) or equivalent in an English medium
educational institution at Australian VET diploma level or above,
which must be taken within two years of the course
commencement date. Documentary evidence in the form of an
official letter is required from the institution at which the study was
undertaken. This document must be written and signed by the
institution’s registrar (or other authorised person) of the education
institution to the satisfaction of the Academic Board.
3. English Proficiency Tests: The following English proficiency tests
are accepted by Monash University:
Monash English Bridging (MEB)
Monash University Malaysia also offers Monash English Bridging
(MEB) for students who do not meet the undergraduate or
postgraduate English entry requirements. Upon successful
completion of MEB, you will gain the proficiency needed to
succeed at Monash University and have guaranteed entry into
selected university courses. Some Monash University courses do
not accept MEB.
