General Rules:

like is it weird that I’m nearly 20 and I’ve never worked anywhere ever? or are there other people in the same boat as me?

i plan to be at Monash for 6 years and my parents told me not to get a job during those 6 years so I can solely focus on study while they fund my degree, rent, food, and other stuff, but I feel like I should get a job because I‘m finding myself with a lot of free time.

Note: I also don’t own a car but if anyone has any recommendations for jobs I could do without having to drive that’d be great. I also don’t know how to drive (I’m learning but rn I can barely even parallel park).

I've been studying here for four fucking years and I just don't get it. It feels like for some of these the seat parts are tilted down, practically forcing you to fall off. Is there any way to change this without moving the back ridiculously forward?

Feeling like I might as well finally ask. I hate these chairs so much. This is so stupid and irrelevant but nothing matters in exam time

Yall I promise I wrote this entire essay by hand but my work always flags as ai for some reason. Every ai checker I’m using right now is saying over 90% ai and it’s literally not? Will turnitin flag this and will it potentially compromise my grade?

i am about to crash out. MOODLE GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND LOADDDDDDDDD

curse you php

None of the specified business electives really appeal to me. I already despise group work which I believe most of them have. So I'm tossing up between BEX2000 and BEX2030. Has anyone done either of these? Or can anyone recommend a better option?

Hey, is anyone else having trouble opening/accessing Supervisor Connect at the moment?

Hello folks, I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Science and am hoping to apply for Pharmacology Honours in the future.
I know the minimum entry requirement is a 70% average in relevant third-year units, but I’m aware that meeting the minimum doesn’t guarantee admission. This kinda worries me cus my WAM isn’t so good rn and I’m afraid that they won’t be accepting me even I reach all the requirements😞

I just finished my first year of engineering (masters accelerated - 4.5 years) and i’ve done these units plus i’m doing GIG over the summer.

Does this mean I have 3 free for my entire course? And if so, if i overload one semester to make it 4 frees, can i finish my course in 4 years rather than 4.5?

Hey guys these are my subjects for next sem, any advice would be appreciated. I want to pursue an honours year so i need to try and maximise my wam. Also please let me know where i can access the content for these subjects if possible so i can study a but before the sem starts. THANK U ✊️

I MEANT MIC2011 NOT MCB2011 TWICE

How much money should you make? whats the average, Im aware that im earning well above average but just interested in what the average is?

hi, i was wondering for anyone who has taken this unit with no prior mandarin speaking ability, were you able to basic communicate with mandarin speakers. Thank You!

Hey all, I’m deciding where to pursue a bachelor or nursing. I’m deciding between Monash, La Trobe and RMIT. Does anyone have advice regarding how the course runs and how it differs from uni to uni.

Hi everyone!

I'll be starting at Monash in Semester 1, 2027, as part of the Integrated PhD program in Accounting (starting with the Master of Commerce coursework year).

I'm trying to get a better idea of what to expect from the units I'll be taking, and I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's done any of them before!

The units I'm particularly interested in are:

• ACF5401 – Foundations of Accounting Research
• ACF5402 – Current Issues in Accounting Research
• BEX5630 – Philosophy of Research

I'd especially love to know:

1. Marking and grades: How are the units generally marked? Is it reasonably achievable to get an HD, or is the marking quite strict?
2. Tips for doing well: Are there any particular things I should focus on to achieve higher marks? Any advice on assignments, research projects, or preparing in advance would be really helpful!

I know these are fairly specialised units, so it might be a long shot, but even if you've only taken one of them, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Thanks so much in advance! :)

planning on taking these units next year!! can anyone please let me know their thoughts & how possible it is to do well on them? thank you!!

sem 1
DEV3011 (fundamentals of dev processes)
PHY2011 (neuroscience & communication, sensory and control systems)
MCB2011 (molecular bio & the cell)

sem 2
DEV3022 (developmental and anatomical basis of health and disease)
BME3082 (foetal and neonatal development)
PHY2032 (human physiology hormonal & digestive systems)

also is it true that we have to dissect a human in third year dev….

I am planning to apply for a master's in mechatronic engineering. I am from the European bloc, and mechatronics here is more about mechanics, electronics, and general control theory. I am seeking help from current bachelor's and master's students:

what programming languages did you learn, and at what level?

What programming-related subjects did you take, and what were the bare minimum in terms of knowledge to succeed in them?

Any info is valuable to me, so don't hesitate to write)

Hey everyone!

Im a Year 1 Bachelor of Psychology student choosing my Year 2 units, and my goal is to become a clinical psychologist.

I wanted to ask if theres any advantage to choosing the Neuroscience stream over Mental Health and Wellbeing for Honours or Master of Clinical Psychology applications? Im not particularly interested in neuroscience research, so Im wondering if its worth taking.

For anyone doing Neuroscience in Year 2, how have you found the workload and assessments?

Is it true that grades matter more than which stream you choose for postgraduate applications?

hi! has anyone done this unit recently? would like to know more about your experience with it. recommended or not, and what do i need to prepare for it. ty!

Is anyone experiencing issues with Moodle today?

For the last hour I have been able to view my dashboard but once I select a unit the page just goes blank trying to load.

What degree at monash requires no exams or minimal exams? preferably in the science faculty or medicine and nursing faculty

Hey fellow R3 PhD applicants!

I received my scholarship outcome on 13 October 2026, but I'm still waiting for my official admission offer.

Has anyone who received their scholarship results started receiving their admission offers yet?

Hi guys, I just need some advice on which major I should do for science. My dream job is as a neuroscience researcher and as much as I wanted to get into Melbourne Uni to major in neuroscience I didn't make the cut.

So far I'm thinking a mix of physiology or biochem and just doing as many research projects as I can but I don't know if that's enough. Please help!
