Apply online - step-by-step guide

An online application should take between 15 and 30 minutes if you have all your details and documentation ready.

Who can apply online?

All students intending to study at Monash South Africa (MSA) can apply online.

Step 1 - Find a course

• Choose your course before commencing your application
• Full course details (needed for your application) are available in Course Finder

* Please forward Foundation Programme applications to musa-admissions@monash.edu

Step 2 – Have all relevant documentation and information ready

Please note:

• If any of your documentation is in a language other than English, a legally certified translation must be provided
• All electronic documents must be in pdf or jpg image file format. File size limit is 2.5mb per file.
• If you are unable to provide documents in electronic form, you can fax them to us, or alternatively post them to us (although this will delay the assessment of your application).
  
  
• To apply online you will need:
  
  
  • a valid email address
  • course details (name, code, commencement date) for all courses you intend to apply for
  • a legally certified copy of your most recent academic transcript/results in file format for upload
  • evidence that you meet the minimum entry requirements (eg. IELTS test scores) in file format for upload
  • a legally certified copy of your identity book or passport
  • documents that support any application for credit for prior learning (including all official transcripts or results from previous studies, plus copies of the subject syllabus) in file format for upload (or you can post these to us later)
  • Some courses may require you to submit other documents, so please check the course entry requirement

Step 3 – Register and apply online

• Create an online application account and begin your application. You can exit and log back in to continue your application at any point - the application is saved after you complete each page
• Before you submit your application you will be asked to accept the conditions

Step 4 – Track your application online

• Once you have submitted your application, you can track your application online by logging back in to your online application account.

Step 5 – Application assessment and offer

The offer package includes:

• Request for Confirmation of Enrolment Letter (COE) - International students only

Step 6 – Accept your offer

• International students must include their proof of payment of your fees for your first semester together with your Acceptance Form.

Step 7 – For International Students - Confirmation of Enrolment for Visa Issue (COE)

Your final step is to organise your visa / study permit.
