Course transfer

Undergraduate

The faculty encourages applications from students who have commenced or completed other science-related tertiary courses.  Applications for the Bachelor of Pharmacy, Bachelor of Pharmacy/Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science are open at the end of each year for commencement in Semester 1 the following year. The faculty does not offer a mid-year intake.

Minimum results required to transfer for domestic applicants

  • 70% average across all subjects from a complete or incomplete Bachelors degree in a science-related field (eg. BSc, BBiomed, BPharm, BPharmSci).*
  • Monash University Supplementary Information Form.

Bachelor of Pharmacy/Bachelor of Commerce

  • 80% average across all subjects from a complete or incomplete Bachelors degree in a science-related field (eg. BSc, BBiomed, BPharm, BPharmSci).*
  • Monash University Supplementary Information Form.

Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science

  • 70% average across all subjects from a complete or incomplete Bachelors degree in a science-related field (eg. BSc, BBiomed, BPharm, BPharmSci).*

*Notes:

  • The faculty prefers transfer applicants to have completed chemistry and mathematics subjects in their first year of university, and may pay special attention to excellent marks in these subjects.
  • If an applicant does not complete or meet the year 12 subject entry requirements in year 12, they must complete the equivalent in the first year of tertiary study and achieve a distinction (70%) grade. For example, if an applicant received a study score less than 30 in chemistry or mathematical methods in year 12, they must complete chemistry or mathematics in first year university and receive a distinction grade.
  • The faculty does not give preference to Monash transfer applicants over non-Monash transfer applicants. All transfer applicants must meet the minimum criteria, as above, to be considered.
  • The results above are the minimum results required to transfer; the actual results required in a given year may be higher, depending on demand and the quality of applicants.

Monash University Supplementary Information Form

For entry in 2013 and onwards, applicants wishing to transfer into the Bachelor of Pharmacy or the Bachelor of Pharmacy/Bachelor of Commerce will be required to complete a Monash University Supplementary Information Form (Pharmacy). For details on how to access the form email pharmacy.info@monash.edu.

Transfer procedures for undergraduate students

Monash students

Monash University students apply via the internal transfer process by submitting an application form and Supplementary Information Form (Pharmacy) to the faculty by the due date. Internal transfer applications for 2013 entry will close 31 October 2012.

If you are in the final year of your Monash degree and wish to apply for another Monash degree, you must submit your application via VTAC.

Non-Monash students

Applicants studying at other institutions must apply via VTAC and ensure that their tertiary transcripts are submitted. They must also complete the Supplementary Information Form (Pharmacy).  Applications open in August each year.

Credit

Credit for prior studies is assessed after enrolment. Applications for credit are submitted on enrolment day and are assessed on a unit by unit basis. Once credit has been approved (prior to semester commencing) a course map will be completed for you.

Students who have completed a three year Bachelor of Biomedical Science or similar should be able to complete the Bachelor of Pharmacy in three years. However, most transfer applicants will take four years to complete the course, due to the amount of credit received and unit sequencing.
