If you plan to transfer to australia, why not clayton instead?

what about 1 semester exchanges to caulfield though, the unit codes are different and outlines are also slightly different, is it also possible?

Just found this link:
http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/esg/agu/po...ecognition.html

so the top 2% get to be on the dean's honour list and those in the top 2-5% in the dean's commendation list. whoa, competition must be pretty intense. near straight hds huh?

btw, thanks ryan18 and purplesmigs, will be attending the exchange talk, really wishing to spend a sem at caulfield!

I see no reason to generalise the entire student population into the category you present. Students that matter will be able to make informed decisions based on their own research as well as knowledge they obtain from specialists in their desired field. It is completely fair for universities to promote as they wish, it is true that many institutions operate with the main objective of making money, after all, it is a lucrative industry. This is irrelevant if you treat it as a form of exchange, in return for the quality of education which one will receive.

What is the purpose of the analogy of students taking up a course in Bachelor of Business? If it is targeted at the business course in Monash Sunway Campus, I welcome you to present other universities in Malaysia which can provide a significantly better recognised, complete and prestigious degree. Costs have always been a factor for tertiary education, however, it is safe to say that those studying in Monash are unfazed by some of the highest tuition fees in Malaysia. Obviously those enrolled in Monash are attracted by its reputation, course structure or recognition rather than a free ipad, even if they are unaware of the specifics of the course itself.

It is a competitive world and most professions will have more people taking the course than number of jobs available in the industry (doctors, accountants, engineers etc.). What matters is how they present themselves and perform which will get them their deserved position. "Misinformed and confounded" students will have a negligible impact on the true competition.

Right, I thought that Monash was giving out the ipads which was referred to as confounding the parents and students. Ok, there was a misunderstanding, sorry for that. To be fair, it wasn't explicitly said that Monash stood out from the other institutions, not many parents take the initiative to fully research the courses their kids undertake. I feel that that is still the student's responsibility.

Anyway, peace bro. My bad, I'm sorry!

Yeah, would like to clear that up too...

taking the same subjects next sem as you. summer school as well? didnt u get an internship at kpmg or cimb?

well for my elective, i was thinking of macroeconomics as i heard it would be easier after the completion of mon n cap. Im considering islamic banking for my elective, but just want to choose something both useful and not risking pulling down my grades. what do you think?

yeah most likely saving elective for sem 2 next year. wanted to do summer but decided to do an internship instead cos i got the offer i wanted. my friends are doing fm though, u will be seeing them i suppose.

There are no graduates from this course from Monash Sunway yet since the first intake was back in Feb 2011. It appears to be the same Bachelor or Commerce course offered in Clayton, differing from Bachelor of Business and Commerce. From what I gathered from attending the course preview last year, it differs because:

1) Apparently more difficult both to enter and in terms of subjects
2) Much smaller classes (due to smaller intake and entry requirements)
3) Try to focus on more case studies during tutorials
4) More in depth syllabus in accounting?
5) Justified by their higher fees...

I decided to opt for Bachelor of Business and Commerce instead. while you can choose the same major(s), they claim that the subjects are of a different depth which i am unable to confirm. Its best you talked to the business school to discuss your options. However, I personally don't know why it costs more in Malaysia because in Australia, they have the same fees there. Consider a number of factors: what you stand to gain, does the extra cost justify this, will employers prefer this degree, do you like a large or small class etc. One thing to bear in mind though, for all the years that Monash was in Malaysia, Monash Sunway grads have ever only had the Bachelor of Business and Commerce degree and still managed to easily land jobs in the big 4 and banks provided they performed well.

Not trying to influence your decision in any way, just sharing what I know. Best that you spoke to reps from the Business School. Hope you make the right choice for yourself!

Varies case to case. Wait for their reply or ask them, no one here can give you a guaranteed reply.

For scholarship: http://www.monash.edu.my/advancement/pso/a...cholarship.html no mention of foundation though, ask them...
Monash, being an Australian university, offers Australian degrees...
Exemptions depend on the subjects taken and its difficulty, check with them.
Fees for Bachelor of Business and Commerce: RM31,000 per year
Fees for Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting): RM37,000 per year

Names of degrees tend to vary. This can be due to the naming of degrees by UK and Australian universities. Bachelor of Accounting, although rare, is likely to be a more specialised degree, focusing on the discipline of Accounting. From what I hear, gives a more comprehensive syllabus. But Bachelor of Commerce or Business and Commerce is more broad while you are still able to have Accounting (as a major) as an area of concentration. The syllabus is broader in the sense that they offer some core subjects like basic econs/stats/law/management for example.

Exemptions depends on the subjects taken. Take the papers in the 'professional accounting sequence' for electives for maximum exemptions.
Please do make an effort to search for some information yourself, it really isn't too hard.

i went directly to taylors and asked them for it. they seemed to know exactly what i needed and printed out the summary of the syllabus for me as well as the grading criteria. they can certify it as well, should be a quick process.

Look at the content of the courses rather than the names of the courses. As you can see, the names of the courses can vary greatly between different campuses. The units are often quite similar and are prohibitions to the similar units from the different courses.

In Monash Sunway at least, you are able to take your preferred double major of Accounting and Finance through either Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) or Bachelor of Business and Commerce. These are just 2 of the many majors available for you to choose. BCom (Accounting) is marketed as an elite course in Sunway, meaning higher entry requirements, harder course units, higher fees and possible more prestige. The (Accounting) in the degree title means that accounting is a compulsory major for that offered degree.

As for the honors degree, this is due to the Australian degree system. Standard 3-year degree programs only give you a general pass without honors. For employers to gauge your performance in the degree, they look at your CGPA and your weighted average mark (WAM). To get an honors degree, one has to do an additional honors year after the completion of the 3-year course.

If it means anything, BBusCom students have successfully transferred to BBus in Caulfield, BCom in Clayton and BCom in the University of Melbourne among many others. Would this be possible if the degrees were so different?

Hope it helps!

4 years.

View your paper first and maybe ask for a re-mark. It is often that a mark of 48% is given if the hurdle requirements are not met, in such a case, you might need more than 2%. No harm trying though. Hope you can get it upgraded

Not for SPM leavers. You need your pre-u results. You can refer to the link below for details:

http://www.monash.edu.my/advancement/pso/a...w-Students.html

Basically its a minimum of 3As for A-levels or TER 98 for matriculation for a RM5,000 waiver per semester, thats what you should aim for. As an SPM leaver, look up the scholarships for pre-u courses at Taylor's or Sunway first. Good luck!

Well, that would depend on individuals. Many can simply cruise past their subjects without caring much about their grades and have a somewhat relaxing time until the 1 or 2 weeks prior to finals. If you want to do well, it is the same for all courses, you will need to do your tutorial questions, you should attend all lectures, you must spend sufficient time preparing for exams/assignments. These would be on top of the 20+ contact hours per week for engineering.

Call up the prospective student office. There are cases where new students are enrolled even during or after orientation week. No guarantees though.

I'm sure it'll be fine! People are very friendly and the orientation helps a lot. Be sure to check out the clubs and activities too, we can't be studying all the time!

Haha, first time getting results? Register for the SMS service, you will get it 1-4pm tomorrow (Sun, 14 June). In any case, it should be posted on wes too.

Good luck everyone!

That looks fantastic! Wish it was ready a few years earlier

Usually, 48 means you didn't meet the hurdle requirement (50%) for the final exams. Do go find your lecturer and review your paper, there could be a marking/summation error. However, before awarding an N grade, it is usually marked by a second marker, so many lecturers will not entertain pleas for extra marks.

Fight on, don't worry too much abt it. All the best!

Many can speak Cantonese but the majority converse in either English or Mandarin. Nah, we are all nice people here
