Monash Update
Special Issue: 2016 Course Portfolio
Welcome
Over the past year we have reviewed our course portfolio.
Our commitment at Monash is to provide students with
choice and empowering them to choose a course that suits
their personal interests and needs. We continue to offer
courses across a broad range of study areas and provide
students with the option to specialise early in their courses.
From 2016 our undergraduate course portfolio offers two distinct
types of courses. You can also study two courses at the same time
by studying one of over 140 double degree combinations.
Comprehensive
courses
These courses offer a broad range of options across a broad study area including arts, business, commerce, information technology and science. Students can choose comprehensive courses already knowing what their major study area will be. But if they are still deciding, these courses provide the opportunity to try a range of subjects in year one before choosing a major.
Specialist
courses
These courses enable students to concentrate in a particular area of study from day one such as engineering or biomedical science. They are designed to provide the knowledge and skills needed for practice in a specialist field, many of which require professional accreditation requirements to be met.
The 2016 Monash
University Course
Guide is now available.

Double degree
courses
We continue to offer one of Australia’s most extensive range of double degrees. These courses allow students to study towards two degrees at the same time. A double degree course takes two years less to complete than if the degrees were completed separately, because requirements for one degree count as electives towards the other degree.

Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics
Bachelor of Nutrition Science (Scholars Program) – with options to pursue Dieticians Association of Australia (DAA) accredited courses as described below.
Monash has developed a new two-year Master of Dietetics. The process for full Dieticians Association of Australian accreditation has begun but it is a rigorous and lengthy process, not expected to be completed until 2017. The aim is to achieve accreditation prior to graduation of the first cohort of Scholars. Students admitted to the Bachelor of Nutrition Science (Scholars Program) will have the following potential outcomes:
n Immediate enrolment as Scholars in the Bachelor of Nutrition Science. If the Masters of Dietetics is
accredited by the DAA by the end of 2017, Scholars who complete the Bachelor of Nutrition Science with an average grade of credit or above are guaranteed entry into the Master of Dietetics in 2019 (supported by CSP or equivalent) with unit credits that mean the Masters may be completed in 1.5 years full time. Graduates of this combined 4.5-year program will be awarded a Bachelor of Nutrition Science (Scholars Program) and the DAA accredited Master of Dietetics.
n If the Master of Dietetics is not accredited by the DAA by the end of 2017, Scholars will be transferred
to the third year of Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics, a four-year DAA accredited course, at the end of 2017. Graduates of this four-year program will be awarded the DAA accredited Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours).
Students who do not qualify for the Scholars’ Program may be offered admission to the Bachelor of Nutrition Science and, as graduates will still be eligible to compete for entry into the 1.5 year Masters in Dietetics.
