Connection & Community

We are a place of connection and community where we share daily experiences, support one another to be our best and contribute to making the world a better place. This is enhanced by a full and diverse calendar of activities and events which create countless opportunities for students to make new friends, challenge their thinking and exercise their leadership and teamwork skills.

Mannix takes the wellbeing of its students very seriously. A motivated, dedicated support team is committed to helping students get the most from their studies and personal life while at Mannix and well after they graduate.

Living at Mannix offers students constant access to academic support through formal tutorials and peer-to-peer mentoring. The College enjoys a well-deserved reputation for its inspiring academic environment. High pass rates above the national average are a direct reflection of the College’s student-centred approach.

The College provides everything possible to set its students on the pathway to success.

Guided Tour or School Visit

Let us create a custom experience for your students to discover Mannix.

If your school is visiting Melbourne and/or Monash University, we can organise a guided tour and presentation with our Principal and current residents.

Or, we can organise for one of your former students to visit your school and present to your students.

Contact our admissions team to discuss how we can help – enquiries.mannix@monash.edu

Application Process

Each year the number of applications for a place significantly exceeds available places, so we encourage students to get in early. Applying and accepting an offer early means students can enjoy the peace of mind knowing they have reserved their place at Mannix.

Applicants are required to submit an academic and character reference as part of their application. Examples of acceptable referees are a School Principal, School Deputy / Vice Principal, School Careers Advisor, School Counsellor or School Teacher.

Referees can use this template, or provide a reference on school or business letterhead and email to the College (enquiries.mannix@monash.edu)

Eligibility

Mannix welcomes applications from students who intend to or are currently enrolled in a full-time, on-campus degree at Bachelor level or higher at Monash University.

Students can apply and accept an offer before they have received a study offer from the University, but they will need to provide evidence of their enrolment at Monash University prior to moving in and signing a residency agreement.

Selection Criteria

Mannix has a merit-based selection process, with applications assessed against the following criteria:

• Academic merit, and commitment and capability to succeed at university
• Personal character
• Leadership potential
• Community service
• Involvement in cultural, sporting, artistic and other co-curricular activities

Applicants are advised of their application within 7 days of their interview.

A full overview of the application process can be found here.

Fees

What’s Included

Fees are all-inclusive, giving students their very own private, furnished bedroom, weekly room cleaning, daily meals, all utilities, high-speed internet, and access to our academic and personal development programs for the duration of the Residency Agreement.

There are also those inclusions that are hard to quantify – the College has a strong support network for students, many of who are living away from home for the first time. A team of experienced, caring residential staff and trained student leaders collectively focus on making the transition to College and university life a stress-free experience.

Mannix has a living and learning community that promotes positive wellbeing. It has successfully created an environment in which students can flourish, achieve their potential and enjoy student life to the full.

Scholarships

Mannix College believes that every student should have the opportunity to live at our College, regardless of financial circumstances. Students may be eligible for financial assistance through a scholarship. All scholarships are paid to recipients in the form of a fee reduction.

Scholarship applicants must:

• Be eligible to live at Mannix College;
