Internal Course Transfer
You can apply for an internal course transfer if you want to transfer from one coursework degree to another in Monash Malaysia. You can only transfer between the same course level (e.g. from one bachelor degree to another bachelor degree) and only if you haven't completed your course. If you are completing your current course and wish to enrol in a new course, you will need to apply again as a new student. For more details, please refer here.
Masters by research or doctoral degree students should contact their School Research Office for course transfer eligibility.
