New in 2017

We’re introducing a wide range of changes 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. See page 7 for more information on our industry connections.

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. See pages 63–65 for an overview of our double degrees.

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 teaching 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 business, commerce, international business, information technology, psychological science and counselling degrees in February, July, or October—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.

‘Aside from all the thingsI learned about law andinternational business, myeducation at Griffith alsotaught me how to solveproblems and where to look for the information to solve them well.’

Jodie Fox is co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Shoes of Prey, a multimillion dollar global business that allows customers to design their own shoes. She is also a Griffith Law School and international business graduate.

‘We started Shoes of Prey as a website in October 2009, and we were the first people to do this globally,’ Jodie said. Shoes of Prey can now also be found in stores across Australia and the US.

Jodie helps drive the company’s strategic direction, and plays a leading role in product design and development, as well as human resources and marketing. She says her business and law degrees from Griffith equipped her with the vital skills she needs in a complex business environment.

Jodie grew up in country New South Wales and was the first person in her family to go to university.

‘I chose Griffith University because it was the only university in Australia at that time offering a degree in law and international business. It had a global focus and that was exactly what I wanted. So I packed up my bags in Lismore and went north to start an extraordinary five years at Griffith.

‘My time at Griffith University was a lot of fun and some of the dearest people in my life now came from then. The Law Society was also a big part of my life at Griffith and it was a great way to get an inside view on what it was going to be like when we graduated.’

Jodie Fox – Law and international business graduate

Griffith SportsCollege

The Griffith Sports College (GSC) helps athletes to graduate by working with them closely throughout their university life. GSC director and Olympic rower Duncan Free knows what it's like to study and compete at the highest level, and lends a wealth of personal and professional experience to student athletes.

We understand the demands that sport has on elite athletes’ lives. The Griffith Sports College is a support network for elite athletes, helping them pursue sporting careers alongside their university education.

While completing his Bachelor of Health Science at Griffith, Duncan won an Olympic Bronze Medal at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. In 2008, at his fourth Olympics, Duncan won a Gold Medal with partner Drew Ginn in the coxless pair. Continuing his passion to support athletes, Duncan was a mentor at the 2012 London Olympics.

The GSC enables student athletes to continue playing sport at optimum levels while they’re studying. It provides them with advice and guidance on academic planning and helps them negotiate flexibility with assessment, classes and study loads to meet academic requirements.

In 2015, over 350 student athletes, across more than 40 sports, received valuable assistance from the GSC.

The GSC was also extremely proud to assist over 60 students in representing Australia in their chosen sport during 2015.

Am I eligible?

To be eligible to apply for the GSC, you will need to be recognised as an elite athlete* by Griffith University and one of the following:

¡ the Australian Institute of Sport

¡ a state academy or institute

¡ a recognised player association

¡ a national senior squad member from the Australian Sports Commission Athlete Career and Education program.

* the term ‘elite athlete’ includes athletes and coaches.

How do I apply?

To apply, go to griffith.edu.au/griffith-sports-college and complete an Elite Athlete Scheme Undergraduate Admission Program form.‘My sport takes me all over the world for

training and competition. The Griffith Sports College enables and assists me to balance my study load with the demands of my sport.’

Danielle Scott – Communication student and aerial skier


‘There are many elements that make a successfulathlete, one of them is a balanced life. For methat includes my studies at Griffith, and theGriffith Sports College assists me by providingflexibility around my hectic swimming schedule.’

Science student Cameron McEvoy was one of the Griffith Sports College’s eight representatives on the Australian team at the 2015 World Swimming Championships in Russia.

‘My first experience with Griffith was oneof my highlights. I was acknowledgedby my lecturers and my tutors and theymade a really big effort in my education.’

Griffith civil engineering graduate Sarah Marsanich is a geotechnical engineer at AECOM, a global provider of technical and management support services.

‘Geotechnical engineering is a varied and a specialised stream, of the civil engineering degree,’ Sarah said. ‘It basically deals with issues that are in the ground, so for example, foundations for buildings, foundations for bridges, as well as bulk earth works such as roadways. I’ve been involved in a variety of projects such as flood reconstruction work across South East Queensland all the way through to mining remediation in Canada.’

At the moment Sarah is working on a tunnelling project for Saudi Arabia, so a typical day could involve a teleconference with people in Saudi Arabia, India, Hong Kong, or America. In her other projects, Sarah conducts onsite inspections, reviews contractors claims and helps solve problems during construction to ensure projects are delivered successfully.

Sarah’s time at Griffith started when she transferred during her first year of university from Sydney up to the Gold Coast.

An Army Blackhawk helicopter landing on his high school oval was all it took for Phil Carpenter to know what he wanted to do with his life. Today, the Griffith aviation graduate can’t go a day without feeling the rush of being in the air and taking control of the helicopter. Phil, who now calls Canada his home, said he would recommend the life of a pilot to anyone who is up for a challenge. ‘We get to see parts of the world that most people never experience,’ he said. ‘Most of the people we work with are of the same mindset and there are definitely a few characters in this industry.’

Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University

Mirusia Louwerse is an Australian-Dutch soprano who gained worldwide fame as a soloist with Andre Rieu—the man responsible for turning classical and waltz music into a worldwide concert touring act as successful as some of the biggest global pop and rock music acts.She studied opera at Queensland Conservatorium and, at the age of 21, was announced as the youngest winner ever of the prestigious Dame Joan Sutherland Opera Award. Mirusia says her time studying was marked by a feeling that it was finally a place where she fit in and made lifelong friends and contacts in the music industry. ‘My dream always was to tour the world, and I am fortunate to say I have followed and lived that dream so far! I am really proud of my achievements in my career, but I am also still learning every day and there is still so much I want to do.’

It’s many a football fan’s dream to tread the hallowed turf at Old Trafford, home ground of Manchester United. Jonathan Shepherd has lived that dream. However, Jonathan wasn’t there in the name of football, but science, as part of his studies in sports and biomedical engineering. By participating in Griffith’s Industry Affiliates Program—an industry-based, work integrated research initiative—Jonathan was able to work with the Centre for Sports Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK, including that trip to Old Trafford to complete some goal-line testing.

Bachelor of Business student Liam Faithful completed an internship with the Queensland Reds as part of his degree, which gave him the chance to put his studies in sport management and marketing into practice. ‘I’ve always been fascinated with sport ever since I was a young kid, and the management side of it is something that I really wanted to get into,’ he said. As well as his internship, Liam says learning from industry experts has given him the confidence that he’s on track for his dream career. ‘One of the best things about studying at Griffith is the lectures have such high pedigree, making it easy for the students to learn what they need to know for the real world. The highlight of having an internship with the Queensland Reds is seeing what happens within a professional sporting club,’ he said.

‘I would like to open and run my own clinicalpractice in the future, and my double degree hasgiven me a greater understanding of what’sinvolved from a business point of view.’

After identifying the wide-ranging opportunities a double degree could offer, sports enthusiast Carlo Alimboyong combined a degree in sport management with a degree in exercise science.

Carlo says he’s gained an appreciation of how sport management relates to the not-for-profit sector and sport at grassroots level. He also enjoys the spread-out workload of a double degree. ‘It’s a good balance,’ he said.

Carlo Alimboyong – Bachelor of Exercise Science/Bachelor of Business


Double degrees

We offer a wide range of double degrees offered across all disciplines, giving you the option to double your career options without doubling your study time.

Why choose a double degree?

You might choose to combine two degrees from related fields to become a specialist, or degrees from different areas of interest to broaden your options. You’ll complete the two degrees simultaneously, usually over four or five years, which is less time than it would take to complete one after the other.

When Nicole Gardiner was 10 she used to sneak out of her room to watch the criminal forensic television program CSI without her parents knowing. This sparked a passion for forensics that led her to Griffith University and into her dream job as a forensic biologist with the Northern Territory Police Fire and Emergency Service. ‘Becoming a forensic biologist was all I ever wanted to do and I wanted to do anything I could to get there,’ she said. Nicole, who graduated from a Bachelor of Forensic Science (majoring in Molecular Biology) and Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice double degree in 2013, said Griffith paved the way for her to be a prime candidate in the workforce.

Nicole Gardiner – Bachelor of Forensic Science/Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice

As a double degree graduate, you’ll have a wide range of career opportunities and a unique skill set that will help you stand out with future employers.

2.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

Auditions, folios and interviewsSome degrees, in particular ones offered at the Queensland Conservatorium, require applicants to attend an audition and/or submit a folio of work. You can find specific information about these requirements at degrees.griffith.edu.au

Check entry requirements

Graduate entry degrees Some 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 be 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.

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.

Griffith College also offers the Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation —see details below.

See pages 74–75 for more information about Griffith College, or visit griffith.edu.au/college to find out more.

Tertiary Preparation The Certificate IV in Tertiary Preparation is delivered by Griffith College. TAFE and various other private providers offer the Certificate IV in Adult Tertiary Preparation. These certificates are independent of the high school system.

Investigate alternativeand bonus entry options

You’ll be trained in the knowledge and skills needed for successful university study and be able to acquire prerequisites for specific Griffith University degrees. Griffith College and TAFE graduates are eligible to apply for direct entry to many Griffith College diplomas and Griffith University degrees. To find out more, email [email protected]

TAFE admission scheme When you graduate with an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Diploma or Advanced Diploma from an Australian TAFE Institute, you’ll be given special admission ranks through our TAFE Admission Scheme. You’ll receive guaranteed direct entry for many of our degrees. Exclusions apply and are listed at griffith.edu.au/pathways

Visit the website or email [email protected] to find out more. You may also be eligible for a credit transfer if you are completing a Diploma or Advanced Diploma at an Australian TAFE Institute.

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.

OP 1–6 GuaranteeIf you are awarded an OP 1–6, Rank 89+, ATAR 88.80+, or International Baccalaureate Diploma Score 33+, you’re eligible for the Griffith OP 1–6 Guarantee, which gives you guaranteed entry into most of our undergraduate degrees. You can be confident that you’re in as soon as you have received an OP 1–6 , Rank 89+ or ATAR 88.80+.

If you’re a mature age applicant, you’ll be provided an admission Rank based upon your previous study, work experience and/or alternative entry options. If you are awarded a Rank of 89+, you’ll qualify for the Griffith OP 1–6 Guarantee.

This scheme is known as ‘The Griffith High Achiever Guarantee in UAC’.

4.You can list up to six preferences on your QTAC or nine preferences on your UAC application. You’ll receive an offer for the highest preference you’re eligible for.

Here’s a guide on how to order your preferences:

Prepare your application

Things to remember when selecting your preferences

¡ Nominating a degree for all six preferences using the guide above gives you the best chance of being offered a place at university.

¡ 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.

Student contribution bands in 2016

$0 – $10,440

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 Semester 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 Semester 2 intake. Exceptions apply.

‘I had heard from friends that Griffith College was a great introduction to university life and my experiences have certainly lived up to expectations. The smaller class sizes are more personalised and it is a great environment to learn in. I have had fantastic relationships and support from both my teachers and peers at the College and these people have all helped me achieve my goals and full potential.’
