Returning to Study After Course Discontinuation

If you have previously discontinued your honours course and would like to resume your studies you must re-apply to the Faculty of Arts. Different re-entry regulations apply depending on whether or not you completed any units at Monash prior to your course discontinuation and how long it has been since you completed your undergraduate course.

Students that discontinued their course prior to completing units

You must re-apply for entry to the honours program within five years of the date you completed the Undergraduate degree used as the basis for entry to the Arts honours program. The entry requirements for new applicants will apply.

View Honours Future Students for further information.

Prior to re-applying, students are advised to discuss their intention to return to study with the appropriate School Honours Coordinator.

Credit

Students may be eligible for a maximum of 24 credit points for coursework units completed during their previous candidature.

Your thesis may build on research from your previous candidature, however, no credit will be granted for the thesis component.

If you are granted 24 points of coursework credit, you must then successfully complete 24 points of thesis units to qualify for honours with Monash Arts.

What if it has been over five years since you attempted your honours program?

If it has been over five years since you completed your undergraduate course you are not eligible to take the honours program.

We would recommend you consider applying for the Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Research) instead.

To apply, see the CourseFinder site for Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (Research).
