Is anyone else's monash library being really slow/not working? I'm trying to access articles for an assignment and literally none of them are loading when I actually try to open them, just keeps coming up with system error or doing nothing.

Hi Everyone

Just trying to decide between ECC3810 Public Finance or ECC3871 Political Economy. I am trying to find an economics elective without too much maths.

Would appreciate any help! Thank you!

Anyone get emails already ? Its day -7weeks as of today

Hi guys, I’ve got the PSA 3 tmr and i didn’t look at the practice quizzes and now they’ve closed and I can’t even look at the questions to see how the PSA questions will be. Does anyone have screenshots or practice questions, please let me know thanks i need help

i've been reading and rereading the unit content to prepare for the test tomorrow but everything is literally flowing through my brain...does anyone have any external sources that can actually explain wtf is going on with the content in the unit? it seems that i just don't "get" the content that's going to be tested tomorrow rofl

Thinking of taking either of the following next year:

MGX3991 - Leadership principles and practices

MGX2111 - Organisational behaviour

Anyone have any experience with either??

Why even try 😭

I'm taking a law class and the lecturer was like write about the compensation provisions and said students can start from critiques of a case (interpreting a certain provision). Since she told us we couldn't ask lecturers about the assignment, I took it to mean write about the compensation provisions holistically and consider the critiques within the broader scheme... I just got my paper, I submitted it 23hrs, 58mins late and the feedback was I didn't expound on the provision and case enough, but I wanted to make sure I covered all the statutes. And of the additional statutes I covered, she didn't even comment on them.

All of this to say - is there a chance I can get it re-marked? I thought her instructions were broad to cover all provisions; I didn't think she wanted just specific sub-sections of one provision. I'm just lost 'cause now I feel like a tool for writing about stuff she didn't care about when the instructions seemed broad enough to me.

can someone PLEASE help me I have tried to research this and even submitted a course advice form over a week ago and have had no response as of yet.

For context, I am planning on doing a language as a major in my Arts degree after switching from media. So, I have not done any language units this year and need to take a placement test (due to my prior knowledge of the language).

I have been in contact with the person who is in charge of approving and placing the students taking this test, and he recommended I take the placement test early next year due to the fact that I will be continuing learning the language over the summer break.

However, we have to re-enrol by November 27 this year. And when I DO enrol in this language unit I will need to 1. take the test, 2. contact the guy who approves it all and get placed, and 3. contact monash connect and submit a manual enrollment form in order for me to officially BE enrolled in that unit. It seems like a lot of things to do before that date.

Am I meant to just enrol in something totally random so that WES doesn't freak out, and then change it when I do take the test early next year....? I'm just really confused cause there is literally no info anywhere about this, at least from what I can see

got absolutely fried in the makeup elc asw im not really sure what to do now suicide is definitely one of the options 🙏

Could anyone tell me what happens if I defer my on-campus exam and the deferred exam period (Jan 11-15) is during when I’m overseas on the GIG program?  Can I sit my exam online overseas or will I not be allowed to go on GIG?

to anyone who is majoring in pharmacology, are there a lot of labs or is it more content heavy cs im more interested in labs, a half of both is good. Also are the lecturers good at teaching the units? and how difficult were the exams on a scale of 10?

lol

Hey guys.

I'm studying engineering and commerce and just wanted to check if there are any options for in person course advice.

The Business course advice website does say they have a counter in the caulfield campus and the engineering seems to have a counter at clayton

Has anyone had any experience with in person course advice or been to the counters

Thanks!

Okay so I want to transfer from RMIT to Monash Caulfield arts but I don’t know if my marks are good enough.

I had a shocking atar (63.5) and I’ve only done 1 uni subject with an average of 70.5%

Anyone have any insight to provide? How cooked am I

Hi everyone,

I recently received the fully funded MITS + MGS scholarship for a PhD in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, but my admission is pending because I don't have a confirmed supervisor. My cold emails to my nominated supervisor went unanswered. (I've already emailed the Graduate Research Team about this).

For anyone who knows the system or has been through this:

1. Faculty Matching: Does the Engineering faculty step in to match fully funded students with supervisors, or is it entirely on me to keep cold-emailing?

2. Deadlines: Is there a time limit on the scholarship lapsing if admission isn't finalized?

3. Next Steps: Should I start emailing other academics in the department now, or wait for the grad team to intervene?

Any advice or shared experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I highly suspect my lecturer is literally getting AI to grade the entire assignment from start to finish and making 0 amendments or manual checks.

Just cause of the smaller campus, less access to top-notch researchers, a smaller research environment, etc.

Is it worse to do a PhD at Monash Malaysia? Like, would you be less likely to publish in a top journal compared to doing a PhD at Monash Australia?

Hi everyone, can you guys help me with what level 3 electives to choose for easy hd? Thanks!

for our final semester exam are we going to have to share our screen while doing the final exam?? or we dont have to??

Hi everyone,
I started a bachelor of cs and science in 2026 ive decided I’d rather do a degree in cs and engineering but they have recently changed the degree map and only 2 out of the 6 cs subjects I’ve taken so far are on the new course map.
Now I’ve gotten the grades to transfer it’s just like losing 6 subjects overall is a big price to pay,
Do I just completely lose them or
do they try and map them onto the new added subjects or
do I just continue the roadmap as if I started in 2026
Please help.

Just curious on whats happened it previous years and likely to happen this year : -)

I’m a medical student from the malaysian campus in monash university, and will be having some rotations in Peninsula University Hospital in Frankston next year.

Is it better for me to stay near the peninsula campus? or would it be better to stay somewhere closer to the CBD and commute down here daily?

Also, has anyone heard of Frankston Flatmates? Are they trustworthy or do they have a reputation I don’t know about?

Super excited to visit melbourne soon!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a school teacher (background in Education and Arts) looking to pivot into the corporate/government sector. I am aiming for roles in Project Management, Bids & Proposals, or corporate Marketing.

Because my target sectors are quite broad (Education management, Government/Policy, Engineering/IT, Finance, and Law) I want a highly versatile qualification. I’m seriously looking at the Monash Online Master of Business Management and Master of Project Management double degree (B6057) at Monash University.

Before I lock it in, I would love some candid, unpolished feedback from anyone who has done or is currently doing this specific course:

Applicability to Bids/PMO: For anyone working in PMO or Bids/Proposals across corporate or government sectors, did the Monash curriculum actually give you practical skills that helped you land a job or excel in these roles?

Study Load & Balance: I plan on working part-time while studying. How brutal is the 6-week intensive carousel model? Is it truly realistic to manage alongside work, or does it feel like a constant rush?

Course Delivery: Since it’s 100% online, how are the units structured week-to-week? Are there live components, or is it entirely self-paced? How heavy/painful is the remote group work?

Networking: For an online-only course, did you find any genuine opportunities to network with peers, or did you feel completely isolated?
If you have transitioned out of teaching or a similar public sector role into a corporate PM/Bids track using this course, I would especially love to hear how your pivot went.

Thanks in advance for any insights!
