How to apply - postgraduate coursework

To apply for a postgraduate coursework course at Monash University, follow this easy step-by-step guide. If you already know what you need to do, apply online.

Step 1: Choose your course

Use the Monash Course Finder to find the right course for you. Make sure you check all the entry requirements and prerequisites.

Step 2: Have your documents ready

To apply, you will need:

  • a valid email address
  • details of the course you want to apply for (name, code, and start date)
  • your academic transcripts
  • evidence that you meet the English language requirements.
  • credit card details (you will need to pay a A$100 non-refundable application fee)

If you are not using an agent, you will need to send certified copies of your documents.

Extra documents

If you are applying for credit for prior learning, you need to provide documents to support this. These documents may include official transcripts or results from previous studies and copies of subject outlines. Please note that credits transferred may affect the duration of your course, which could affect your visa.

Some courses may require you to submit other documents, such as details of relevant work experience. You can check your course's entry requirements in Course Finder. View the Postgraduate Course Guide.

Document translations

If your documents are in a language other than English, you will need to supply official certified translations of the documents.

Uploading your documents

If you are applying online, make sure the documents you upload are:

  • in the correct format - .jpg, .pdf, .doc or .rtf
  • smaller than 2.5MB each

If you have trouble uploading your documents, you can post them to us at International Recruitment Services.

Step 3: Register and apply online

First you need to create an online application account. You will get an account identity sent to your email address.

Follow the link in your email to log in and start your online application.

You can exit and log back in to continue your application at any time. The application program automatically saves your application after you complete each page.
