Our graduates
Our
research
Super sand acts as an inexpensive ltration device in third-world countries.
Our research tradition
Even before we became the global university we are today, our
researchers looked beyond traditional boundaries, creating new
frontiers and discovering new ways of approaching the elds in which
they worked. Thats why a Monash education is respected around the
world. Things that we now take for granted would not exist without
the initial work of Monash researchers:
First in-vitro fertilisation pregnancy
Professors Alan Trounson and Carl Wood achieved the worlds rst IVF
pregnancy in 1973. The Trounson and Wood team went on to achieve
Australias rst (and the worlds fourth) successful IVF birth in 1980.
Fighting inuenza
In 1986, a team from our Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy) designed and
synthesised the anti-u drug Relenza. Relenza rst became available
in Australia in 1999 and is now used globally.
Nobel Peace Prize
In 2007, eight scientists from Monash University shared in the
prestige of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former US
Vice-President Al Gore.
We judge our research by its academic excellence, but also by
the impact it has on the communities we engage with and serve.
Brendan Murray
Master of Education, 2010
Brendan is the Executive Principal of Parkville
College a Victorian Government School
established to provide quality education for all
young people detained in custody.
Deeply embedded in his community, Brendan
is also the co-founder and former principal of
the Pavilion School a Victorian Government
school that seeks to provide the highest
standard of public education for adolescents
who are disengaged from education. He was
awarded the Victorian Outstanding Secondary
Teacher Award in 2009 as well as the inaugural
Australian Federal Government Closing the
Gap Award. Brendan now intends to pursue a
PhD at Monash University.
Dr Michelle McIntosh
Bachelor of Pharmacy, 1997; PhD, 2000;
Graduate Certicate in Higher Education,
2009
Michelle leads a team at Monash Institute
of Pharmaceutical Sciences working on a
project to develop an aerosol delivery system
for oxytocin that can be inhaled by patients
from a simple, disposable device immediately
after childbirth. Every year more than 100,000
women die of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH),
a condition of excessive blood loss
after childbirth.
Although PPH can be effectively prevented or
treated with an injection of oxytocin, access
to this drug is limited due to the requirements
for refrigeration, storage and trained medical
personnel for administration.

The Monash PhD
If youre looking for a doctorate
with a difference, look no further
than the new Monash PhD.
Offering one of the widest ranges
of discipline and inter-disciplinary
options, it provides you with a
depth of resources and knowledge
needed to excel. Whats more,
expert supervision from some
of Australias nest academics
ensures that youll produce
a thesis thats not only more
rounded, but also more informed.
Add this to a superior standard of
research excellence and its easy
to see why brilliant goes beyond.
Our research today
Today, our ambition and optimism are
stronger than ever. We have a clear vision
of what we want our research to achieve
and how well help our researchers make
it happen. Although we conduct research
across more than 150 elds of study, we
focus on a number of specialisations.
We call these our leading capabilities.
Weve grouped these capabilities into
four categories:
health and wellbeing
future technologies
sustainable environments
resilient cultures and communities.
Building stronger, lighter planes
Professor Xinhua Wu and her team at the
Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing
(MCAM) are creating a new aluminium
alloy that will make aircraft 30 to 40 per
cent lighter, twice as fuel efcient and
still structurally sound. So signicant is
this project that they are working in close
partnership with Microturbo, the European
Space Agency and Bombardier.
Helping the blind to see
The Monash Vision Group (MVG) draws
on the capabilities of Monash University,
The Alfred hospital and industry partners
MiniFAB and Grey Innovation to develop
bionic eye technology that connects to
the primary visual cortex.
This means that patients unable to make
use of current retinal implants because of
damaged optic nerves or physical trauma
to the actual eyes may now have the
opportunity to see again.
Super sand
Monash has teamed up with Rice
University (USA) to create a super sand,
which acts as an inexpensive ltration
device in third-world countries. They
have signicantly enhanced the natural
ltering properties of sand by coating it
with a nanomaterial called graphite oxide
(GO). Lack of clean drinking water is the
cause of more than 2.5 million deaths
per year according to the World Health
Organization (WHO).
Eliminating disease
The Eliminate Dengue Program, led by
Monash Universitys Professor Scott
ONeill, uses a naturally occurring bacteria
(Wolbachia) to reduce the ability of
mosquitoes to pass dengue between
people. Dengue fever affects an estimated
390 million people worldwide annually and
is ranked by the World Health Organization
(WHO) as the most important mosquito-
borne viral disease in the world.

Adopt as your fundamental creed that you
will equip yourself for life, not solely for your
own benet but for the benet of the whole
community. Sir John Monash
Sir John Monash was an Australian
leader, statesman and nation-builder
who contributed to almost every level
of Australian life.
As well as a long and distinguished
military career, Sir John was a renowned
engineer and public administrator. He
also features on the Australian $100 note.
He was a man who used education to
turn his natural talent into ability, allowing
him to realise his daring ambitions.
Not only do we carry Sir Johns name,
we also take inspiration from his
philosophy of life.
Although Monash University is named
after an individual, the University is
a public government-funded and
accredited institution.
Our motto, Ancora Imparo (I am still
learning), captures the essence of his
approach to life.

Scarlett Lucero
In 2007 Scarlett Lucero decided to further her qualications with
a Master of Education to develop her capabilities in educational
policy, change and leadership. She completed her masters course
in 18 months without leaving her home in South Australia.
I always believed that email and telephone communication were
secondary to face-to-face contact; however, my experience
with Monash was incredibly rewarding, she said. The quality
of education was fantastic it challenged, encouraged and
motivated me to think outside the square.
New Horizons aims to transform
manufacturing in areas such as
biomedicine, transport, aerospace
and mineral processing. It brings
together around 400 staff from Monash
and CSIRO, supported by platforms
for global research and teaching
collaboration through state-of-the-art
ICT and will facilitate greater linkages
with business and the community.
Fees
Most postgraduate coursework programs are offered as full-fee places.
Students in these courses pay the full tuition cost of the course and must
make the payment upfront each semester. Details of course fees are
included with course descriptions in this guide.
Fees quoted are for courses commencing in 2014, are subject to change
and are indicative only. Fees for courses commencing in 2015 will be
different. For more information on fees visit monash.edu/fees
FEE-HELP loan
If you are an Australian student enrolled in a full fee-paying, postgraduate
(non-research) award course you may choose to defer some or all of
your course fees to a government loan known as FEE-HELP. You repay
any FEE-HELP loan through the tax system once your income reaches a
certain level. For more information on FEE-HELP visit studyassist.gov.au
The Australian Federal Budget handed down on 13 May 2014 is likely to affect the
availability and cost of Commonwealth Supported Places. Please check this information
at monash.edu/fees closer to date of application. At the time of going to press, the
following applied.
Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs)
A CSP (formerly known as a HECS place) is a higher education place for which the
Australian Government provides funding towards the cost of your higher education.
Postgraduate CSPs are limited in number and selection is highly competitive. Eligibility
is assessed on academic merit and offered subject to availability.
For CSPs, units are grouped into three broad bands. The band in which the unit is
located determines the student contribution amount for that unit. Usually, the units a
student is required to enrol in to complete their course will all fall into the same band.
The table outlines the annual student contribution amount for a full-time student
who is enrolled in a standard full-time course where all units are in the same band.
In a standard full-time year, students typically study 48 credit points.
Research Training Scheme (RTS)
Under this scheme, research students may be eligible to receive two full-time equivalent
years of funding for a research masters course and four years of full-time equivalent
funding for doctoral studies. See page 74 of this guide for details.

Master of Fine Art
This practice-based research degree involves
the independent investigation of a research
problem that has been formulated by the
candidate. It is expected that the research
undertaken will make a contribution to
the discipline in which the candidate is
enrolled by applying, clarifying, critiquing
or interpreting that knowledge. The studio
research project develops a body of creative
or visual works with accompanying written
and visual documentation (exegesis).
The documentation is a commentary that
outlines the development of the project and
its conclusion, and provides a critical context
within which the work may be viewed and
assessed. The original visual works produced
and the exegetical text are examined as one
for Master of Fine Art candidates.

Master of Journalism
Holly has won the 2014 Walkley Student Journalist of the Year award.
The prestigious Walkley awards recognise excellence in journalism and have
been the pinnacle of achievement for any Australian journalist.
My journalism journey at Monash University was rewarding in many ways, both
professionally and personally. Not only did I learn practical techniques, but I also
benetted from the wealth of knowledge and quality of teaching presented by my
lecturers who were experts in the industry which they delivered with a personal
touch. They were encouraging, genuine, and inspiring, which I am extremely grateful
for. I dont think I couldve achieved what I have (Walkley award) without the guidance
of experienced mentors and professionals at Monash.

Master of Teaching (Primary)
Going back to university has been very stimulating and enjoyable and the course
has stretched me both personally and professionally. A major highlight has been
the professional experience opportunity in two schools Cicognini and San Niccol
schools in Prato, Italy. It was an opportunity to explore not only planning and
executing lessons in a foreign environment, but also to examine yourself as a teacher
to see how you operate and cope in situations outside your comfort zone. It was
greatly satisfying to discover that I could teach children in a different country and
have a benecial impact on their education. I nd a full day of teaching leaves me
with a certain buzz that makes me wonder where the day went!

Master of Health Administration
Health care management encompasses
a broad eld of practice that is continuing
to grow in tandem with the growth of the
health care industry and the challenges
it faces in terms of nancial sustainability,
increasing complexity, and greater consumer
expectations, including accountability for
safety and quality.
As a result, management roles in health
care are also expanding from the traditional
senior and mid-level administrative roles to
clinicians taking on increasing management
tasks. The current Master of Health Services
Management, located within the Department
of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine,
primarily focuses on this latter market and
in particular the needs of clinicians in the
domestic market who seek background
knowledge to assist them to take on
these roles. This new Masters of Health
Administration will primarily target the general
health care administration market and have
an international focus. While developed
from the existing Master of Health Service
Management, this course will strengthen the
general management component through
partnership with the Faculty of Business
and Economics who will deliver one-third of
the units.

A PhD is a great opportunity to extend yourself and broaden your horizons.
I travelled overseas several times and made presentations at multiple
international conferences.
My research focused on the dopamine D2 receptor, which is involved in a
number of important disease states including schizophrenia and Parkinsons Disease.
Weve broken ground in terms of understanding how current and future drugs can
better manage and treat these disease states.

Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Biomedical Science,
Current PhD in Science
I loved the Biomedical science units and I did some summer vacation work in
biochemistry and that helped me make a decision that I wanted to do research.
My ultimate goal is to combine research and teaching.
My research is in the Eliminate Dengue lab. The research that we do is
injecting Wolbachia bacteria into mosquitoes to block Dengue virus transmission,
and my research is thinking about what kind of genes are regulated when
mosquitoes have Dengue virus. Im also working in the insectary raising
mosquitoes for my experiments, which involves making sure I have the human
volunteers to feed my mosquitoes.

The Master of Science degree allows
candidates to undertake independent
research in a specic area of science over
a shorter period of time than a PhD.
If you are unsure whether a PhD is right for
you, a Master of Science can give you the
experience of what studying for a doctorate
might be like, whilst developing your skills
and earning a degree that will enhance your
employment prospects. If you decide that
you are passionate about your research the
option of upgrading to a PhD after the rst
year of the degree is available.

Application,
admissions and fees
How to
apply
monash.edu/postgraduate
There are different steps and procedures for
coursework and research. In broad terms,
research degrees are administered by the
Monash Institute of Graduate Research (MIGR)
while coursework studies are administered by
the faculties.
Research application
procedures
Applying for a research degree at Monash
University has never been easier. Our research
degree application website at monash.edu/
migr/apply will provide you with everything
you need to know about academic entry
and English eligibility requirements, nding
a supervisor, scholarships available for
research degree candidates, and the online
form which you should use to submit your
application. To begin the process of becoming
a postgraduate researcher, prospective
candidates need to think about possible
research projects and topics that align with
their interests, qualications and experience.
You will be required to submit a research
proposal as part of your application and
should start developing this as soon as
you have some idea of your research topic.
The type of information that should be
included in an initial proposal includes:
1. What is the topic area?
2. What has motivated your interest in
this particular area?
3. What eld or elds of knowledge does
it engage?
4. What are the key questions to be explored?
5. What are the aims of the project?
6. What works or materials will be involved?
7. What methodologies are involved?
8. What are the proposed outcomes of
the research?
Future research candidates are encouraged
to seek further information about the research
expertise of academic staff through the
websites and brochures of research centres,
faculties, schools and departments.
Applicants are eligible to be considered for
admission to a research degree once they
have been assessed to meet the Universitys
academic and English language entry
requirements and any other requirements
of the chosen course. Minimum academic
requirements for entry into individual higher
degrees by research are listed in the faculty
section of this guide. Some research courses
(for example, professional doctorates) have
additional entry requirements, while some
research masters courses have different
entry pathways.
Please check the faculty website for specic
entry requirements to these courses. Evidence
of research ability, the availability of facilities
in their proposed eld of research and the
availability of staff to undertake supervision
will also be considered in the assessment
of your application. Some faculties also
offer preliminary research courses, such as
postgraduate diplomas and masters qualifying
programs that provide a pathway to research
for applicants without a research background.
Applications for admission may be made at
any time, however applications for research
scholarships must be made by 31 May or
31 October each year. It is recommended
that you commence the application process
well in advance of these closing dates. If you
are applying for a research degree with a
coursework component your commencement
date in the degree may be determined by the
availability of the coursework you will need to
complete. Applications for all research degrees
and scholarships are submitted via the online
research degree and scholarship application
form available at monash.edu/migr/apply.
Enquiries regarding the research degree
application process should be directed to
the Graduate Research Admissions Team at
the Monash Institute of Graduate Research
using the online enquiry facility available at
monash.edu/migr/apply/enquire.
Coursework programs
Applications for postgraduate coursework
programs can be made online via
monash.edu/study/apply except for the
Master of Teaching. Applicants for this course
must apply through the Victorian Tertiary
Admissions Centre at www.vtac.edu.au
Postgraduate
tuition fees
monash.edu/fees
Postgraduate courses attract fees for
both domestic and international students.
However, there are a range of schemes and
services to help students with fees, including
government loan programs. Local research
students are generally granted a government-
funded research place that can fund up to
four years of research-based study.
English language
requirements
To ensure that all students have the English
skills needed to succeed in their studies,
Monash University has minimum English
language entry requirements for all courses.
Applicants must meet these requirements in
order to be considered for admission.
A summary of the Universitys minimum
English language requirements, including
those for postgraduate courses, can be found
at monash.edu/english-requirements.
These requirements are a guide only as
many courses have higher requirements. You
must consult Course Finder for the specic
requirements of the course that you are
applying for. Research Degree applicants
should check the English language prociency
(ELP) requirement as prescribed in the relevant
doctoral or masters handbook.

Student contribution amounts
For CSPs, units are grouped into three broad bands. The band in which the unit is located
determines the student contribution amount for that unit. Usually, the units a student is
required to enrol in to complete their course will each fall into the same band. The table
outlines the annual student contribution amount for a full-time student who is enrolled in a
standard full-time course where all units are in the same band. In a standard full-time year,
students typically study 48 credit points.
Research Training Scheme
(RTS)
Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or
Australian permanent residents undertaking
a research degree at Monash University are
granted a government-funded Research
Training Scheme (RTS) place. Under this
scheme, research students receive two
full-time equivalent years of funding for a
research masters course and four years
of full-time equivalent funding for doctoral
studies. Under the RTS, it is a statutory
requirement that all higher degree by
research students provide details of
previous enrolments in research programs
to determine eligibility for RTS funding.
Higher Education Loan
Program (HELP)
The FEE-HELP scheme provides an interest-
free, income-contingent loan facility for
students. Australian citizens and holders of
a permanent humanitarian visa are eligible
for the FEE-HELP scheme. Eligible students
wishing to fund part or all of their tuition fees
through FEE-HELP must complete the loan
request form by the relevant census date
and provide a tax le number. A student
can elect to pay a portion of fees directly
to the University and the remaining debt
will be registered as a loan through the
Australian Taxation Ofce (ATO). Students
will commence repaying any HELP loan
through the ATO once their income reaches
the minimum threshold for compulsory
repayment. A loan for up to the full tuition fee
charged for the course can be accessed,
but there is a lifetime limit. See the Monash
University Fee-HELP website for details:
monash.edu/enrolments/loans/domestic-full-
fee.html.
For more information, contact the Student
Services Centre on each campus or visit the
Department of Education, Employment and
Workplace Relations.
Full-fee places
Most postgraduate coursework programs are
offered as full-fee places. Students in these
courses pay the full tuition cost of the course
and must make the payment upfront each
semester. Details of course fees for Australian
citizens and permanent residents are included
with course descriptions in this guide.
Fees quoted are for courses commencing
in 2014, are subject to change and are
indicative only. Fees for courses commencing
in 2015 will be different. Applicants should
check the fee with faculties or go to Course
Finder: monash.edu/coursender.
Monash University reserves the right to adjust
annual tuition fees. However, the University
undertakes that any adjustment factor for
those continuing students will not exceed
6 per cent per annum. Any adjustment will be
applied on 1 January each year for that year.
Credit points and fees
The University uses a standard credit point
range in relation to university-taught unit
offerings, normally involving six-point units
or multiples thereof (e.g. 6, 12, 18, 24).
A full-time student will normally complete
48 credit points in a year (24 in each
semester). Fees published in this guide quote
an annual fee based on a standard 48 credit
point course. Courses with fewer or more
credit point values in a year will attract a
proportionate fee. For example, a
24 credit point course fee will be half the
annual amount of a 48 credit point course.
A 72 credit point course would be one and
a half times the published annual fee.
Commonwealth Supported
Places (CSP)
Postgraduate CSPs are limited in number
and selection is highly competitive. Eligibility
is assessed on academic merit and offered
subject to availability. The Australian
Government requires the majority of students
in a Commonwealth Supported Place to
contribute to the cost of their education.
This means that students pay a proportion
of the cost of their course (see Student
Contribution Amounts for commencing 2014
students below) and the government funds
the balance. For further information on CSP
and student contribution amounts, visit
www.goingtouni.gov.au.
The Australian Federal Budget handed down
on 13 May 2014 may affect the availabilty or
cost of Commonwealth Supported Places.
