The program visits Ravenna for its spectacular mosaics on the way to Venice and Padua to view the magnificent Giottos in the Scrovegni Chapel. In Venice the program looks at the main Biennale sites as well as the historic visual culture of the city. Integral to all faculty studies is the cultural

experience of being part of a medieval city, complete with walls, churches, palaces and winding cobbled streets; a living museum which brings history alive and makes it a part of daily life.

Research degrees Master of Education (coursework/thesis) Today’s educators are expected to be lifelong learners, able to operate in the global flow of the knowledge economy where established routines and boundaries are often challenged. Monash researchers investigate new learning spaces and transitions in education, training and work, and the increasingly diverse work of educators, teachers, managers, and organisational leaders. This program comprises coursework units and a research thesis of 20,000 to 25,000 words. It provides the opportunity to undertake research that can apply directly or indirectly to the work environment. It is particularly suitable for those who have research interests but who have not previously carried out a major research project and would like to eventually progress to doctoral studies in education.

Four years of full-time equivalent university study (either through a double degree or undergraduate degree plus graduate diploma or honours year) with a credit average; or have qualifications or experience that the faculty considers to be equivalent to, or a satisfactory substitute for the above.* English language requirements: www.education.monash.edu/ students/prospective/englishrequirements *Entry requirements for this program are expected to change in 2013 which may effect eligibility.

Previously thought to be one of the two recognised bottlenose dolphin species, Kate’s research (published in PLoS ONE Journal) shows that they are a distinct species.

Admission and application

How to apply www.adm.monash.edu/ admissions There are different steps and procedures for coursework and research as well as for domestic and international students. In broad terms, research degrees are administered by the Monash Research Graduate School while coursework studies are administered by the faculties.

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 field or fields of knowledge does it engage? 4. What are the key questions to be explored? 5. What are the aims of the project?

Research application procedures

6. What works or materials will be involved?

Applying for a research degree at Monash University has never been easier. Our research degree application website at www.monash.edu/study/research will provide you with everything you need to know about academic entry and English eligibility requirements, finding a supervisor, scholarships available for research degree candidates and the online application form which you will need submit. 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, qualifications 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.

8. What are the proposed outcomes of the research?

7. What methodologies are involved?

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 University’s 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 master’s courses have different entry pathways.

Please check the faculty website for specific entry requirements to these courses. Evidence of research ability, the availability of facilities in their proposed field 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 master’s 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. 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 www.monash.edu/study/research. Enquiries regarding the research degree application process should be directed to the Research Degrees Admissions Unit at the Monash Research Graduate School using the online enquiry facility available at www.monash.edu/ research.

Coursework programs Applications for postgraduate coursework programs are made online via www.monash.edu/ postgraduate/apply-now.html, except for the graduate diplomas in education (applicants apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre at www.vtac.edu.au).

Postgraduate tuition fees www.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.

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 2012 students below) and the

government funds the balance. For further information on CSP and student contribution amounts, visit www.goingtouni.gov.au.

Student contribution amounts For CSPs, units are grouped into four 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. Students typically undertake eight units each year. Units are normally six credit points each. In a standard full-time year, students will 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 master’s 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 file number. A student can elect to pay portion of fees directly to the University and the remaining debt will be registered as a loan through the Australian Taxation Office (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: www.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 2012, are subject to change and are indicative only. Fees for courses commencing in 2013 will be different. Applicants should check the fee with faculties or go to Course Finder: www.monash.edu/study/ coursefinder. 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 six per cent per annum. Any adjustment will be applied on 1 January each year for that year.

Credit points and fees

English language testing

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. six, 12, 18, 24). A full-time student will normally complete 48 credit points in a year (24 in each semester).

Full documentary evidence in support of English proficiency must be submitted with applications for candidature. Where an applicant’s first language is not English or where degree qualifications were not undertaken in the English language, Monash reserves the right to seek further documentary evidence of English proficiency.

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.

English language requirements To ensure admissions processes are consistent across the University and that all applicants for degrees have the English skills to perform well in their studies, there are minimum English language entry requirements for courses at Monash University that applicants must meet in order to be considered for admission.
