^From Trimester 3, 2026, Monash College will implement a series of changes to the teaching delivery of the Diploma of Engineering (Part 2) to fast track a student’s pathway to their destination degree at Monash University. As such, eligible students will be able to enrol in four units per trimester, enabling the completion of Diploma Part 2 in two trimesters instead of three.
In certain circumstances related to mathematics prerequisites, some students may need to complete the Diploma Part 2 program over three trimesters.
"Through Monash College, I was able to further my knowledge by meeting people from all around the world. The team-based projects were very fun and the teachers that I have met were truly amazing.”
