FMNHS New Course Architecture


New course features
  • ·         From 2016, there will be two types of Bachelors courses offered at Monash
                Comprehensive  - offering majors from a broad field of study
                  Specialist – offering focus through early specialisation
         All FMNHS courses will be ‘specialist courses’

Rationale for these changes
·         Specialist courses
o   Offer focus and depth in your chosen discipline from the onset of the course
o   Enable you to start the course of study required to enter a regulated profession straight from school
o   Provide a direct pathway to employment or postgraduate study


 Impact of changes
  • ·         An Australian first – ALL 4+ year single degree courses are at honours level

(i.e. rewarding students for their depth and duration of study)
From 2015 onwards, this applies to Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours), MBBS (Honours), Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours), Bachelor of Nutrition & Dietetics (Honours), Bachelor of Radiography & Medical Imaging (Honours)
  • ·         Vertical double UG+PG may reduce the total course duration by as much as a year
  • ·         THE PLANNED (this has not yet been approved by the University) Bachelor of Health Science (will be a portal to undergraduate and/or postgraduate qualifications in allied health and public health.
  • ·        Greater flexibility allowing Health Science students to change or choose their specialism course at the start of 2nd year
