Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Monash University: ATAR needed
Clayton · December 2025 offer roundIn the December 2025 offer round the lowest selection rank to receive an offer for Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Monash University (Clayton) was 80.30 — down 1.80 from 82.10 in 2024.

The lowest selection rank is the lowest rank (your ATAR plus any adjustment factors) that received an offer in the December round. January rounds often go lower, so treat it as a guide to the selection standard, not a cut-off. VTAC course code 2800311701.
What it takes to reach 80.30Using VTAC's official aggregate to ATAR table.
You need an aggregate of about 136.2 (out of a possible 210): your best English plus three other scaled study scores, plus 10% of your fifth and sixth. If your scaled scores were all about equal, that is roughly 32.4 in each study.
Scaled scores depend on the study: see how each VCE subject scales, and use the calculator to estimate yours from SAC and exam marks.
