Graduate Certificate in Higher Education,
2009
Michelle leads a team at Monash Institute
of Pharmaceutical Sciences working on a
project to develop an aerosol delivery system
for oxytocin that can be inhaled by patients
from a simple, disposable device immediately
after childbirth. Every year more than 100,000
women die of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH),
a condition of excessive blood loss
after childbirth.
Although PPH can be effectively prevented or
treated with an injection of oxytocin, access
to this drug is limited due to the requirements
for refrigeration, storage and trained medical
personnel for administration.
Our graduates
Our
research
Tran Thanh Nam
PhD, 2005
Nam is the chief operating officer at MobiVi,
Vietnam’s leading electronic payment
service provider.
He helped co-found the company in mid-
2007, and it has grown quickly on the back of
massive growth in the reach and popularity of
the internet and mobile phones, and business
uptake of electronic communications.
MobiVi is at the forefront of e-commerce
with their e-wallet payment system. E-wallet
uses highly-secure computer networks and
programs enabling airline tickets to be bought
online, peer-to-peer payments undertaken via
a mobile phone or over the web, and bills paid
with the touch of a button.
Our research tradition
Even before we became the global university we are today, our
researchers looked beyond traditional boundaries, creating new
frontiers and discovering new ways of approaching the fields in which
they worked. That’s why a Monash education is respected around the
world. Things that we now take for granted would not exist without
the initial work of Monash researchers:
First in-vitro fertilisation pregnancy
Professors Alan Trounson and Carl Wood achieved the world’s first IVF
pregnancy in 1973. The Trounson and Wood team went on to achieve
Australia’s first (and the world’s fourth) successful IVF birth in 1980.
Fighting influenza
In 1986, a team from our Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences (formerly the Victorian College of Pharmacy) designed and
synthesised the anti-flu drug, Relenza. Relenza first became available
in Australia in 1999 and is now used globally.
Nobel Peace Prize
In 2007, eight scientists from Monash University shared in the
prestige of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded jointly to the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former US Vice-
President Al Gore.
We judge our research by its academic excellence, but also by
the impact it has on the communities we engage with and serve.

Dr Dewi Fortuna Anwar
Doctor of Philosophy in Arts, 1990
Dr Anwar is currently Research Professor
at the Indonesian Institute of Sciences,
Chairman of the Institute for Democracy and
Human Rights – The Habibie Center and
Deputy Secretary for Political Affairs to the
Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia.
She has long been active in promoting
equal opportunities for women in Indonesia
and greater representation for women in
government and politics, and was voted one
of Indonesia’s most powerful women in 2007.
Our research today
Today, our ambition and optimism are
stronger than ever. We have a clear vision
of what we want our research to achieve
and how we’ll help our researchers make
it happen. Although we conduct research
across more than 150 fields of study, we
focus on a number of specialisations.
We call these our leading capabilities.
We’ve grouped these capabilities into
four categories:
health and wellbeing
future technologies
sustainable environments
resilient cultures and communities.
Building stronger, lighter planes
Professor Xinhua Wu and her team at the
Monash Centre for Additive Manufacturing
(MCAM) are creating a new aluminium
alloy that will make aircraft 30 to 40 per
cent lighter, twice as fuel efficient and
still structurally sound. So significant is
this project that they are working in close
partnership with Microturbo, the European
Space Agency and Bombardier.
Helping the blind to see
The Monash Vision Group (MVG), draws
on the capabilities of Monash University,
The Alfred hospital and industry partners
MiniFAB and Grey Innovation to develop
bionic eye technology that connects to
the primary visual cortex.
This means that patients unable to make
use of current retinal implants because of
damaged optic nerves or physical trauma
to the actual eyes may now have the
opportunity to see again.
Super sand
Monash has teamed up with Rice
University (USA) to create a ‘super sand’,
which acts as an inexpensive filtration
device in third-world countries. They
have significantly enhanced the natural
filtering properties of sand by coating it
with a nanomaterial called graphite oxide
(GO). Lack of clean drinking water is the
cause of more than 2.5 million deaths
per year according to the World Health
Organization (WHO).
Eliminating disease
The Eliminate Dengue Program, led by
Monash University’s Professor Scott
O’Neill, uses a naturally occurring bacteria
(Wolbachia) to reduce the ability of
mosquitoes to pass dengue between
people. Dengue fever affects an estimated
390 million people worldwide annually and
is ranked by the World Health Organization
(WHO) as the most important mosquito-
borne viral disease in the world.

10 MONASH UNIVERSITY – POSTGRADUATE COURSE GUIDE 2015
Your study options
Whether you want to get ahead in
your career faster or just improve your
knowledge, a Monash postgraduate degree
can give you a distinct advantage.
Coursework or research?
There are three ways to study for a
postgraduate degree:
1. by coursework
2. by research
3. by coursework with a research
component.
1. Professional entry
postgraduate courses
These courses are specifically designed to
train students to enter regulated professions
such as law, accounting and teaching after
they have completed an undergraduate
degree. These programs can range
from two to four years depending on
the discipline.
Expert master’s
These programs allow you to either extend
knowledge and expertise gained though
your undergraduate degree or add
breadth to your knowledge and skills
in a new discipline.
2. Research options
Monash offers research-based postgraduate
degrees in all disciplines. And, while
the challenge takes commitment, drive,
motivation and talent, the benefits
are enormous.
Research will enable you to pursue a
passion, while working in a supportive
environment with like-minded people. And it
can open up incredible career opportunities.
3. Coursework and research
Combined degrees offer you the flexibility to
complete part of your course by following
a subject-based program, and part of it by
completing a research thesis. It will allow
you to grow through experiencing two very
different methods of higher education.
Length of programs
Many of our master’s programs offer block
credit to students on the basis of their
education background.
2-year programs – if a student wishes to
undertake a master’s program in a different
discipline to their three-year undergraduate
qualification it will usually take two years
(96 credit points).
1.5-year programs – if a student wishes to
undertake a master’s program in the same
discipline as their three-year undergraduate
qualification it will usually be a 1.5 year
program (72 credit points)
1-year programs – if a student wishes to
study a master’s in the same discipline
for which they have a four-year honours
qualification it usually takes one year
(48 credit points).
Fees
Most postgraduate coursework programs are offered as full-fee places. Students
in these courses pay the full tuition cost of the course and must make the payment
upfront each semester. Details of course fees are included with course descriptions
in this guide. A different fee is charged to Domestic and International students.
Fees quoted are for courses commencing in 2014, are subject to change and are
indicative only. Fees for courses commencing in 2015 will be different. For more
information on fees visit monash.edu/fees.
Cost of living
It is a good idea to plan and prepare a budget before you
arrive in Australia. Your tuition and study fees do not include
personal costs such as accommodation, food and other
things you will need. These costs can add up to
approximately A$22,900+ per year.

This practice-based research degree involves
the independent investigation of a research
problem that has been formulated by the
candidate. It is expected that the research
undertaken will make a contribution to
the discipline in which the candidate is
enrolled by applying, clarifying, critiquing
or interpreting that knowledge. The studio
research project develops a body of creative
or visual works with accompanying written
and visual documentation (exegesis).
The documentation is a commentary that
outlines the development of the project and
its conclusion, and provides a critical context
within which the work may be viewed and
assessed. The original visual works produced
and the exegetical text are examined as one
for Master of Fine Art candidates.

Mel Barnes
Master of Tourism
Mel chose to pursue her postgraduate studies alongside her full-time career,
to have an advantage over other graduates in a competitive job market.
“Tourism isn’t all about holidays! The program has an interdisciplinary focus and
covers a wide range of academic fields. Lectures are available outside business
hours and block subjects are a fantastic option for full-time workers. I recently took
one week of annual leave to complete subject course work in Fiji. This allowed for
full immersion into the program and fieldwork study. Staff in the Graduate Tourism
program understand the commitments involved in working and studying full time
and they are only a phone call or email away.”

collaborative, ethical leader committed to lifelong
learning.

and learn how to foster the learning of children and young
people with varied needs. You gain an understanding of

professional knowledge and skills to be able to teach in
learning areas including the arts and humanities, English
and other languages, mathematics, health and physical
education, science, sustainability and technology.
You build your knowledge of teaching and learning by
immersing yourself in a minimum of 60 days of teaching
practice throughout the course in urban, rural, remote
or international settings and schools. This includes
opportunities to gain first-hand teaching experience in
locations such as the Cook Islands, Malaysia, Italy and
South Africa. You become aware of current education
priorities and policies and how to respond to these in
practice. In these ways, you develop a set of professional
values and commitments that position you as a research-
informed future educational leader.

Master of Laws (Human Rights)
“As one of the recipients of the Australian Government Awards for Africa I
had the choice of studying at any Australian University. I chose to study at
Monash University because of its reputation as one of the best in the country.
It also offered the degree that is perfectly suited to my career goals with a
learning flexibility to study subjects outside of my specialisation course. My
favourite part of studying at Monash is that I get to study other interesting
areas of law which are not only related to my specialisation but are important
as they are intrinsically linked. Classes at Monash are very interactive and
students’ ideas are taken very seriously. This has built up my public speaking
confidence which will be an invaluable tool for my chosen career path as a
human rights lawyer and advocate”.

to teach the knowledge and skills required
to practise law. It recognises the individual
needs of non-law graduates who wish to
study law and offers the transferable skills
and knowledge only a law degree from one
of Australia’s leading universities can provide.
The course focuses on the knowledge,
legal skills and professional ethics that
may be expected of legal practitioners.
The relatively flexible nature of the Monash
JD allows you to work while you study and
tailor your workload to suit your professional
and personal commitments. The Monash
JD can be completed in just 3 years or 2.5
years in accelerated mode. Students who
wish to complete their JD in 2.5 years must
have a distinction average.
Small seminar-style classes bring together
passionate and dedicated individuals
with diverse professional experiences in a
stimulating and challenging environment.

50 MONASH UNIVERSITY – POSTGRADUATE COURSE GUIDE 2015
Lee Horsley
Master of Nursing Practice
Two years ago Lee was running his own plant nursery. Now the horticulture
graduate is back at university studying for a new career as a nurse.
Having enrolled in Monash University’s new Master of Nursing Practice –
an accelerated program for graduates with non-nursing backgrounds –
Lee feels that for the first time he is doing what he should be doing.
“The relief that you see in a patient’s eyes when they realise you are not going
to compromise their dignity, or the gratitude from a family when you help make
a dying patient more comfortable, is really rewarding.”
Students in the Master of Nursing Practice spend half the week in class and the
other half in clinical practice. Lee said the curriculum was well matched to the clinical
experience, giving students an opportunity to immediately apply academic knowledge.

Maria Chan
Senior Clinical Pharmacist, Royal Children’s Hospital,
Bachelor of Pharmacy, Master of Clinical Pharmacy.
“Since registering as a pharmacist in 2001, I’ve worked extensively in paediatric hospital
pharmacy and gained significant practical clinical experience. I chose to study the Master of
Clinical Pharmacy to give me the skills to determine best current practice, develop guidelines
to promote safe and effective use of medication and improve patient care and outcomes.
“The course enabled me to ‘speak the same language’ as other healthcare professionals
and qualified me for more complex roles and to take on greater responsibility such as
teaching and supporting junior staff. The best thing for me was learning problem solving
and analytical skills that I can apply in my clinical practice.”

“I loved the Biomedical science units and I did some summer vacation work in
biochemistry, and that helped me make a decision that I wanted to do research.
My ultimate goal is to combine research and teaching.
“My research is in the Eliminate Dengue lab. The research that we do is
injecting Wolbachia bacteria into mosquitoes to block Dengue virus transmission,
and my research is thinking about what kind of genes are regulated when
mosquitoes have Dengue virus. I’m also working in the insectary raising
mosquitoes for my experiments, which involves making sure I have the human
volunteers to feed my mosquitoes.”
