Monash University

In 2022 we’re expanding the availability and access for domestic students across a range of our courses, including many double degree courses in arts, business, information technology, and law. The benefits of double degrees in providing career flexibility and expanded choices for graduates make them some of our most popular courses, and the planned increase in offers means more students will be successful in their double degree preference than in previous years.

The ATAR required to be offered a place in a course can change in any given selection round. Monash does set minimum ATAR requirements for all our courses, and this hasn’t changed. However, selection is based on a number of factors, including consideration given to applicants via different entry schemes, such as SEAS and the Monash Guarantee. We can’t forecast any potential change in lowest ATAR rank to receive an offer, even though we’ll be making additional offers. However, additional offers mean more students will be successful in their double degree preference than in previous years.
