Which Monash courses can Nepali students apply to?

Monash lists hundreds of undergraduate, graduate and research courses, and you can filter them by Nepal on its course finder.

The courses come in three main levels:

• Bachelor’s degrees, usually 3 years, and 4 years for engineering with honours.
• Master’s degrees by coursework, usually up to 2 years, and shorter if your earlier study is related.
• Research degrees, the PhD and master’s by research.

Use Monash’s course finder to see what is offered. Check every course on the CRICOS register, because only CRICOS courses can be studied on a student visa. Monash’s online courses, such as the online MBA, are not a route to a student visa.

Which Monash courses can lead to a 485 visa?

No course gives you a 485 visa automatically, but degrees can lead to the Post-Higher Education Work stream if you meet its rules.

Diplomas and trade qualifications need the Post-Vocational Education Work stream, which depends on the skilled list. Home Affairs also asks that your course is CRICOS registered and meets the study rule. Read our Australia 485 visa page for the streams, lengths and fee.

Monash’s course pages say CRICOS students can take no more than one third of a course online, as you can see on the Bachelor of Business page.

Which Monash courses are popular with Nepali students?

The table shows Monash’s courses in the areas most popular with Nepali and Indian students, up to two per area, with each one’s level, length and campus.

Most courses here start in February and July, so check the course’s own page for its exact status.

Master’s lengths are the longest route; related earlier study can make them shorter. Fees are shown on each course’s page.

What do you need for each course level?

For a bachelor’s you need your +2 with English, and for a master’s a bachelor’s with about 60%, plus IELTS 6.5 with no band under 6.0 for most courses.

• Bachelor’s: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 58, with the course’s own score. The Bachelor of Nursing follows AHPRA English rules.
• Master’s: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 58 for most courses. The Master of Social Work asks for IELTS 7.0.

To see where your +2 grades stand, convert your NEB GPA to a percentage with our NEB GPA calculator.

How do you choose the right Monash course?

Start with your background and your plan after graduation, then check the course’s CRICOS code, intakes and campus on Monash’s own course page before you apply.

• Coming from +2? Look at the Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Information Technology or Bachelor of Nursing. If your marks are short, ask about Monash’s pathways.
• Already hold a bachelor’s degree? The Master of Information Technology and the Master of Data Science don’t need an IT bachelor’s.
• Planning to work as an accountant or nurse? Read the accreditation note on the course page, and compare with our PR courses in Australia page, because no course promises PR.
• Check the campus. Business is mostly at Caulfield and IT at Clayton, so choose your rent area after your offer.

For more on each type of course, see our guides to accounting courses in Australia, the Master of Business Analytics in Australia and civil engineering courses in Australia. Our branches in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Chitwan, Itahari and Pokhara can help you compare.
