Single Unit Pathway

The Single Unit Pathway is designed for applicants who do not meet the normal entry requirements of a Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) Undergraduate (Bachelor) degree.

Single units undertaken must be two (2) university level IT related units from an Australian University or Open University Australia.   Units selected through Open University Australia must be approved by the Faculty of IT Admissions Office

Applicants will normally be eliglible to apply for a Faculty of IT undergraduate degree if they achieve a minimum of a pass average (50%) in two (2) single non-award IT units for the Bachelor of Information Technology & Systems degree, Bachelor of Computer Science, or the Bachelor of Software Engineering; or a minimum of a credit average (60%) in two (2) single non-award IT units for the Bachelor of Business Information Systems or the double degree, Bachelor of Business and Commerce/ Bachelor of Information Technology & Systems.  When calculating the grade point average of single units, all units attempted will be taken into account.

There are minimum English language entry requirements for courses at Monash University which applicants must meet in order to be considered for admission. These requirements are set out in detail in the  English Language Entry Entry Requirements For Coursework Programs Procedures.   For applicants who intend to undertake the Single Unit Pathway should contact the Faculty of IT Admissions Office for advice on whether they have fulfilled the Monash University English Language Entry Requirements. 

Visit Application Process page for more information on how to apply for single unit study.

As applicants are not enrolled in a Monash University degree program, no award is received at the completion of study.  However, applicants do receive a statement of their results.

Credit for both units successfully completed may be granted towards subsequent enrolment in an undergraduate degree.

The Faculty of IT is offering Undergraduate Single Unit Pathway Bursaries.  These bursaries are for future students who are offered a place in the FIT Single Unit Pathway.  For further information and eligibility requirements please contact Faculty of Information Technology Scholarships Officer.
