International students come from all over the world to study at Monash University. The Victorian College of Pharmacy attracts students from many countries. As one of Australia’s Group of Eight Universities, Monash is recognised for its teaching, learning and research excellence.

Undergraduate programs offered at the college for international students are:

Applicants must have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) or equivalent overseas qualifications. Visit www.monash.edu.au/international and www.monash.edu.au/courses/coursefinder for information on specific qualifications and entry criteria.

Students must also meet the university’s English language entry requirements (international students are not required to sit the UMAT or ISAT). For more information about entry requirements email study@monash.edu.au

Application procedure

Students who are completing the VCE or International Baccalaureate (IB) in Victoria must apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) for a place as an international fee-paying student at Monash University.

All other International applicants including those studying year 12 interstate or overseas (other than VCE) must apply directly to Monash University.

Advanced standing/ Credit transfer

Depending on your previous studies, you may be eligible for credit transfer.  However, the college does not guarantee all prior successfully completed study will transfer as credit to our programs.  The college will only assess your previous study, once you have applied to Monash University.  Advanced standing, or credit transfer, will be assessed in conjunction with ESOS regulations.
