About Monash University (Melbourne) Partnership

Looking for specific classes? Explore CHART, our exclusive class database — if the Monash University Program is pre-approved at your institution, you’ll find classes recently taken by other IFSA students.

Open the Monash University online course catalog to explore the available class options.

You can search by campus within the course catalog, keep these things in mind:
Monash's main campus is Clayton, but you're also able to take classes at the Caulfield campus; the commute is about 15 minutes and there are free shuttle buses that run frequently. You may also take classes at Berwick, but the commute is about 25 minutes. Classes at the Parkville or Peninsula campuses may be possible, but please be aware that the commutes are very long (up to 1.5 hours) and students may find it difficult to fit in any other classes on the same day. All art and design classes are offered at the Caulfield Campus (all art courses require a portfolio).

A full course load at Monash University is 24 points for the semester (equivalent to 15-16 Butler University semester credit hours) and 48 points for the year (equivalent to 30-32 Butler University semester credit hours). The number of courses you will take depends on the individual credit value of the course you select.

3 MU points = 2 U.S. semester credit hours
4 MU points = 2.5 U.S. semester credit hours
6 MU points = 4 U.S. semester credit hours
8 MU points = 5 U.S. semester credit hours
10 MU points = 6.25 U.S. semester credit hours
12 MU points = 8 U.S. semester credit hours

Please review all your syllabi and course materials when you are registering for classes (both pre-arrival and on-site). Certain classes may have a one-off lab or field trip fee that is disclosed in the syllabus or first meeting of class. You will be responsible for these fees, whether they are billed and paid by IFSA or billed to you.
