Overview
The Monash Transition Program is designed to support Indigenous Australians to make a successful transition to university study. It will help you develop the academic skills for success at university. Successful completion leads to a range of Monash University bachelor courses including in arts, business, information technology, pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences, medicine, nursing and health sciences, and science.
