New in 2017

We’re introducing a wide range of initiatives in 2017 to meet the changing needs of students. With these changes, you can balance your lifestyle with your learning style, put what you learn in the classroom into practice, and enjoy the best education experience possible.

Balance work with study

With our trimester model, you’re in control of how you study. You can choose to study fewer subjects each trimester, giving you more time for work and other commitments.

Fast-track your degree

Some degrees offer a fast-track option, allowing you to complete your degree in as little as two years and get a head start on your career.

More industry placements than ever before

At Griffith, you don’t just learn in the classroom. You’ll have the chance to include industry experiences, including placements, internships and projects for real clients, from early in your degree. Griffith is also an Official Partner of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, which will give you the opportunity to be involved in the build up to and delivery of the biggest event in Australia this decade.

New double degrees

We’re introducing a range of new double degrees that are specially designed industry-related combinations of study areas that will help you stand out in the job market.

Study online, on-campus or a combination of both

At Griffith, many of our degrees have online components. This gives you the chance to study online, on-campus, or a combination that suits your needs.

Introducing trimesters

From 2017, we’ll be offering some degrees across three trimesters, rather than two semesters, which gives you the flexibility to pace your study to suit your needs. You’ll have more opportunities throughout the year to start study—for example, you can start our Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice degree in February or July—so if you want to take a break from study after school, you can still start university in 2017. The third trimester is optional, so you can still take a longer break at the end of the year. Or, you can spread your study across three trimesters, which can give you more time for work and other commitments.

‘Griffith has been the ideal place to study,allowing me to kick-start my career bypursuing my passion for human rights,education and the environment.’

COVER STORYGriffith graduate Chris Eigeland is a serial entrepreneur, international lawyer and Australia’s Youth Representative to the United Nations for 2016. He has founded three international enterprises, each addressing a unique social challenge.

Recognised as a “Global Shaper” by the World Economic Forum, Chris is an ambassador for the international leadership network One Young World, and is a contributor at forums such as the G20 on innovation and global challenges. In 2014, Chris was named Australian Young Innovator of the Year, and has previously been acknowledged as a Prime Minister’s Australia-Asia Scholar. He has also served as a Director of Global Voices, a not-for-profit providing pathways for young Australians to contribute to international diplomacy.

Through his experiences, Chris has discovered that the most inspiring entrepreneurs aren’t changing the world from Sydney or Silicon Valley, but are on the ground in remote and regional areas - identifying new problems, trying new ideas, and finding solutions. As the United Nations Youth Representative, Chris hopes to build a platform and community to encourage would-be entrepreneurs to take the leap and launch their ideas.

‘If I was able to re-live my University experience, I have no doubt in my mind that I would choose to study at Griffith University again’, says Kerrod Giles.

After he moved to Brisbane from a small country town in Central Queensland, it could have been easy to become overwhelmed and simply end up as ‘ just another student.’

‘Fortunately, throughout the duration of my degree, Griffith provided me with a wealth of opportunities to excel in various capacities on both national and international stages.’

Kerrod believes his education at Griffith also equipped him with all of the skills necessary to secure employment at one of Brisbane’s most highly regarded law firms.

‘For me, the strength of the Griffith Law School lies in the careful balance struck between the uniquely close and collegiate environment of the faculty and the quality of both the academic staff and courses on offer.’

Griffith Law School has been central to some of Kerrod’s proudest achievements—ranging from Best Speaker and Coach of the prevailing team at the National Michael Kirby Contracts Moot competition in 2014 and 2015 respectively to forming part of the best Australian team at the 2014 VIS Moot competition held in Hong Kong.

Bianca Tyack obtained a highly competitive graduate position with the Queensland Government Policy Futures program when she graduated from Griffith with a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

She works in the areas of policy and legislation. It’s a perfect fit as research and policy, specifically in domestic violence, has been Bianca’s area of interest throughout her degree.

‘I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to embark on a career where I can work within this area’, she said.

She said some of the best parts about studying at Griffith include networking with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders and developing educational knowledge with a range of employable skills.

Criminology and Criminal Justice and Forensic Science student Katelyn Pomroy was a driving force behind Youth for the Community, an initiative that saw her win the $8000 first prize in a prestigious student competition run by Ernst and Young. “Survive the Panel” invites students to pitch a big idea in a Dragons’ Den-type scenario, presenting the business case for the plan and how it stacks up financially. ‘I saw an ad for it on Facebook and thought “Why not?” ’ she said. Katelyn’s idea was to develop an app that bridged the gap between not-for-profit community organisations looking for volunteers and young people interested in volunteering. The app will also include an option to volunteer in a natural disaster situation.

2. Check entry requirements

University applications made through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) or the University Admissions Centre (UAC, for New South Wales applicants), are assessed on two things:

1. Eligibility—subject prerequisites and any additional criteria set by the university

2. Merit—OP, ATAR (New South Wales students) or Rank

Eligibility

Subject prerequisites Prerequisites refer to achievements in particular Year 11 and Year 12 subjects. For most Griffith degrees, other than education, engineering and some health degrees, the only prerequisite is English. As well as prerequisites, some degrees have assumed knowledge or recommended study. If you haven’t studied these subjects, you may still get in to the degree, but you will find your study easier if you have some understanding of these subjects.

If you haven’t studied the prerequisite subjects for a degree, or if you have studied them but didn’t pass, you may be able to complete a bridging or preparatory course. You can also look for other degrees that provide a pathway to your chosen degree.

Additional criteria

Graduate entry degreesSome Griffith degrees are designed for people who have already studied at university before. These are referred to as ‘graduate entry’ degrees, which often means that you need to hold a bachelor degree to be eligible. For more detail, refer to the entry requirements for specific degrees on degrees.griffith.edu.au

English language proficiencyIf you’re an international applicant, or if your previous study was undertaken in a language other than English, you will need to demonstrate that you can speak, write, read and comprehend English. The English language requirements vary between different degrees. Search degrees.griffith.edu.au for information on your chosen degree.

Merit

Cut-offsQTAC and UAC make offers to eligible applicants in order of OP, ATAR or Rank. Offers are made to students with the highest results first and the place where they stop is called the ‘cut-off’.

Cut-offs are an indication of the demand for a degree, and don’t necessarily reflect its quality or level of difficulty. They’re set each year, and can change from year to year. The previous year’s cut-offs can be used as a guide only. Indicative cut-offs aren't available for new degrees.

Applicants over 18

If you are 18 or older, you’re considered a mature age student. If you don’t qualify for admission based on your Year 12 results, you can apply based on work and other professional qualifications and experience. We recognise the knowledge and skills gained through bridging and preparatory studies, professional and paraprofessional qualifications, vocational experience, and Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) results. Please note, STAT is not for current school leavers. See the QTAC website for more details.

QTAC and UAC assess your knowledge and skills gained through professional qualifications, bridging programs, work experience or other pathways. Make sure you include them on your QTAC or UAC application.

27



3.There are many ways to increase your chance of gaining a place in your preferred Griffith degree. These methods of upgrading into your desired degree are known as pathways.

A smart pathway will provide the necessary foundation for your future studies. You could even complete your desired degree faster by gaining credit through your pathway studies.

Visit griffith.edu.au/pathways for more information on Griffith’s wide range of pathway programs.

Alternative entry

Griffith CollegeIf you haven’t achieved the OP or Rank you were expecting, missed out on the degree of your choice, or are looking for alternative ways to get into university, you might consider completing a diploma at Griffith College. Located at the Gold Coast and Mt Gravatt campuses, Griffith College offers diplomas that include courses of a comparable nature to some of our bachelor degrees. After successfully completing a Griffith College diploma, you’re guaranteed direct entry into a range of related Griffith bachelor degrees with up to a full year’s credit. Conditions apply for some degrees.

Find out more at griffith.edu.au/credit

Continuing education certificate programs If you don’t achieve the OP or Rank that you need to study your choice of undergraduate degree, but meet subject prerequisites, you might consider completing one of our non-award certificate programs. These programs provide an alternative pathway into university and are suitable for people just out of school, as well as those who left school some time ago. You’ll study the same courses as our undergraduate degree students part-time, usually for one year, to experience the university environment.

Once you’ve successfully completed your certificate, you’ll receive a special boosted Rank that can be used for entry into a Griffith degree, and where relevant, receive full credit for your certificate studies towards your degree.

For information on the full range of certificate programs and details on application procedures, visit griffith.edu.au/certificate‑programs or phone 1800 677 728.

¡ You’ll have the opportunity to change your preferences for the main offer round after results are released in December.

¡ If you’re applying for a double degree, it’s a good idea to list the two component single degrees as a preference as well—these may be easier to gain entry to. You may have the chance to upgrade to a double degree from a single degree after a year of study.

1st and 2ndIdeal degrees—these are the degrees you really want to study, even if you’re not sure you’ll meet the entry requirements.

3rd and 4th

Realistic degrees—these are the degrees that you have a good chance of gaining entry to. These degrees could also provide another pathway into your chosen career, and they might offer the opportunity to upgrade your entry score so you can change degrees after a year of study.

5th and 6th

‘Foot‑in‑the‑door’ degrees—these are the degrees that you are prepared to study if you miss out on your other preference. These should be degrees that are easier to gain entry to and offer a chance to upgrade, or offer a pathway to another degree.

7.Most domestic students who are studying undergraduate degrees are recognised as Commonwealth supported students. This means you pay a student contribution each trimester and the majority of the cost of your education is met by the Australian Government.

How much will I pay?

The amount you are required to pay for your student contributions depends largely on your field of study. The Australian Government groups different areas of study into ‘Bands’, and sets a maximum amount higher education providers (such as Griffith University) can charge you for a full-time study load. At Griffith, full-time study for most degrees means eight courses per year. Your student contribution cannot exceed the maximum rate set by the Government, and most universities and other providers charge the maximum rate.

Visit studyassist.gov.au for more information on student contribution bands.

Deferring your study costs with HECS-HELPHECS-HELP (the Higher Education Contribution Scheme-Higher Education Loan Program) is a government loan that, depending on your citizenship or residency status, allows you to defer the costs of your study and pay your student contribution when you are earning more money. You repay your HECS-HELP debt through the tax system. This means that other than study materials such as textbooks, you will have no up-front costs for your degree.

Scholarships

We offer scholarships for students from different backgrounds at different stages of their university career. Visit griffith.edu.au/scholarships to find out what you’re eligible for.

Financial assistance

Once you are at university, our welfare and student liaison officers can help you plan budgets, apply for loans and equity schemes (if you qualify), and explore other financial options, such as Centrelink payments. Visit griffith.edu.au/welfare for more information.

8.QTAC and UAC offers for study in Trimester 1 2017 will be released in mid-January. We recommend accepting your offer and enrolling as soon as possible to secure your place. You can then select your classes and create a timetable.

Credit for prior learning

Upon being accepted into Griffith University, you can apply for credit for prior learning, which can reduce the time it will take to complete your degree. You may be granted credit on the basis of prior formal, non-formal or informal learning if you can demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes of the Griffith course or degree. Visit griffith.edu.au/credit to find out more.

Deferment

We offer deferment for most of our degrees. This allows you to delay the start of your studies for one year, while still securing your offer. Deferment is not available for degrees that involve specific selection criteria—such as music and oral health (dentistry). If you are unable to take up your place in one of these degrees, you must reapply in the following year.

Accept your offer and enrol

You can request to defer after you receive an offer. For QTAC, you can select the deferment option when you respond to your QTAC offer.

For UAC, you can email [email protected] to request deferment. For both QTAC and UAC, approval of deferment is automatic for approved degrees and will be confirmed by the University.

Internal transfer

Once you have been admitted to Griffith you have the option to apply for an internal transfer to another degree, providing you meet the entry requirements for the degree you wish to transfer to. Application is made directly to Griffith—you don’t need to reapply through QTAC or UAC. We also offer mid-year transfers to degrees that have a Trimester 2 intake. Exceptions apply.

Combining a passion for languages and the environment, Griffith Law School student Monique Filet will travel to Taiwan in July 2016 as a New Colombo Plan scholarship recipient. She will immerse herself in Taiwanese culture and Mandarin at the National Taiwan University and then intern with an environmental organisation. ‘It’s a fantastic opportunity and I look forward to learning more about Asian cultures,’ she said. At high school, Monique excelled in the Mandarin language, but it was a year spent in northern China that reinforced her decision to incorporate languages into her career. ‘When I first went to classes in China, I couldn’t understand anything the teachers said as they were conducted entirely in Mandarin, but after a few weeks something just clicked and everything became clear,’ she said. ‘I want to use my language skills to help others whether it’s as a lawyer, environmental advocate or working for an NGO.’

Monique Filet – Griffith Law School

You can apply for and receive more than one scholarship. To apply online, and for more details about scholarships, visit griffith.edu.au/scholarships or email [email protected]

Make sure you check the closing dates carefully, as these vary between scholarships. Most scholarship applications open mid-July.
