How to
apply If, after reading the enclosed information,
you
wish to apply to undertake either a research or coursework postgraduate
program, please assemble and mail to us all the components of the
following: http://www.monash.edu.au/study/applications/postgraduate/research/
http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/prospective/apply.html
A
photocopy of a detailed transcript of your
tertiary qualifications. This should include, whenever possible, lists
of subjects taken and grades achieved. Should you be admitted, the
Faculty will need to sight the originals. Applicants need an honours
degree in a four-year course from an Australian university, or its
equivalent. Details of any technical publications
which you
have authored. If these are in journals, please include accurate
references. If they are technical reports, please include a copy, or at
least a detailed abstract. Outline the area of
research which interests you.
Please be reasonably specific. "electrical engineering" tells us
nothing, and "communications" or "computer engineering" very little.
If you are an overseas applicant, from a
non-English speaking country, we require evidence of proficiency
in the English language. It is the
usual practice for the Faculty to admit
all
research candidates initially to the MEngSc. degree. If appropriate,
research students may be allowed to transfer to Ph.D. after 12 months
of MEngSc candidature. Each application for transfer is considered on
its merits. Fees
Overseas students should be aware that they are
liable
to fees of approximately A$26,900 per annum for Master of Engineering
Science, Doctor of Philosophy. The
Australian Government requires documentary evidence that a student has
access to sufficient funds to cover both fees and living expenses. Full
details of current fees can be found on the Universities
Fee pages.
Scholarships
A very limited number of scholarships is
available. Competition for these is fierce, so they are awarded only to
exceptional candidates. Scholarship application forms become available
around September each year. The closing date for applications is 31st
October for Scholarships tenable the following year. Top-up scholarships are
available. Applicants should also consult the
University's Scholarship
Information.
Appointments
From time to time prospective postgraduate
students arrive here in the hope of talking to us and being shown
around. They are frequently disappointed, because the relevant staff
have other commitments. If you are in Melbourne, please contact us
first to make an appointment to talk to a staff member in the area of
your interest.
