What you’ll study You’ll gain the technical skills and knowledge to pursue a career in accounting, financial planning, finance or economics. In your first year, you’ll explore the core concepts of commerce including accounting, economics, business statistics, and management. In your second year, you will select your major and build specific in-depth knowledge in this area. In your third year, you’ll build on this knowledge and learn to apply your skills in real-work scenarios including internships, work experience and opportunities such as the Student Investment Fund—where students invest in ASX-listed companies using real money.

You can choose a single major, which will give you specialist skills in one profession, or expand your expertise with an additional commerce, business, or politics and public policy major, including management, marketing and international business. If you’re not sure which majors to choose just yet, that’s okay. Once you enrol, you can try some different courses before you choose the combination that’s right for you.

Studying a degree in Asian Studies has reinforced Estelle McCabe’s interest in and appreciation of Asian business, culture and history, and is positioning her strongly to pursue a career in Japan. Her ambition to work as a communications specialist fostering Japanese–Australian relations in the resources sector was also boosted by a New Colombo Plan Scholarship. ‘I’m confident that living, learning and working in Japan will improve and develop not only my Japanese language but also my negotiation skills by improving fluency and understanding of the spoken word.’ The scholarship enabled Estelle to spend a semester at Saitama University, near Tokyo, through which she gained credits for her Asian Studies degree at Griffith.

Growing up, Casey Macfarlane had always been interested in the environment, but it wasn’t until she attended TSXPO in Brisbane that she realised how she could make it a career. ‘A Griffith University professor was speaking about the various forms of engineering taught at Griffith. Environmental engineering appealed to me immediately,’ she says. She also had a strong interest in Japan after studying Japanese in high school and completing a student exchange to Tokyo. Now, she’s combined her interests—studying a double degree in environmental engineering and business management at Griffith and completed a semester of study at Hiroshima University as a recipient of a New Colombo Plan scholarship.

The benefits and opportunities from studying a double degree at Griffith have helped take Sara Doole around the world. Sara now works as the Account Manager at Vancouver-based online course provider Thinkific, but she was jet-setting before she’d even graduated. ‘I was lucky enough to study in Leeds, England in my second year,’ Sara says. ‘That opportunity has really influenced my career in ways I didn’t anticipate when I first signed up for the program. Many employers mention this during interviews, and I know it sets me apart from my colleagues.’ Sara recalls her time at the University fondly, highlighting the passion of Griffith’s leaders from lecturers to program heads. ‘Those people saw promise in me and reached out a hand to help me build my experience and knowledge,’ she says. ‘Without their faith in me, I wouldn’t have gotten the work experience necessary to set me on the career path I am on.’

University applications are made through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) or the University Admissions Centre (UAC, for New South Wales applicants). In some circumstances, you may submit a direct application to Griffith. Applications are assessed on:

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

2. Merit—OP, ATAR or Selection Rank

Eligibility

Subject prerequisitesSubject prerequisites are subjects that must be completed, and a minimum grade achieved, in order to be admitted to a degree. English is a prerequisite for all of our degrees and some degrees have additional prerequisites.

Prior Assumed KnowledgeIt is assumed that through your secondary school, or equivalent studies, you will have achieved a minimum level of knowledge in certain subjects, such as Maths (A, B or C), Physics, Chemistry or Biology. If you haven’t completed these subjects or don’t have the recommended level of prior knowledge, you can still be made an offer for the degree. However, if you want to gain this knowledge, you can take one of our bridging courses.

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 course. You can also look for other degrees that may provide a pathway to your preferred degree.

Visit griffith.edu.au/apply for information on pathways.

Merit

OP, ATAR, IB and Selection RankAn Overall Position (OP) is the tertiary entrance rank assigned to eligible Year 12 students in Queensland based on their performance in senior secondary school subjects.

An Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is the rank assigned to eligible Year 12 students in other Australian states and territories. Some high schools also offer the Diploma of the International Baccalaureate program.

If you don’t have an OP, ATAR or a Diploma of the International Baccalaureate, you can still receive a Selection Rank on the basis of bridging courses, tertiary admissions tests or work and life experience.

For students seeking entry to degrees from Trimester 1, 2021, the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) will replace the Overall Position (OP) as the standard pathway to tertiary study for Queensland Year 12s. For further information, visit qtac.edu.au/atar-2020

Additional criteriaExperience based entry schemeSome degrees, in particular those offered at the Queensland Conservatorium, require applicants to attend an audition and/or submit a folio of work. Education degrees require applicants to submit a personal statement. You can find specific information about these requirements at degrees.griffith.edu.au

Some Griffith degrees are designed for people who have studied at university before. These degrees require you to hold a bachelor degree to be eligible for entry. For more detail, refer to the entry requirements for specific degrees on degrees.griffith.edu.au

English language proficiencyIf you are a prospective 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 proficiency requirements vary between degrees. Search degrees.griffith.edu.au for information on your preferred degree.

Check entry requirements2

Selection RankA competitive Selection Rank is required to be eligible for an offer into a degree.

Offers are made to applicants’ highest eligible preference. If your Selection Rank is equal to or better than the Selection Rank for that intake, and all other entry requirements are met, you may be eligible for an offer. Eligibility can also depend on whether the program is open and whether places are available for the intake.

Selection Ranks are an indication of the demand for a degree, and do not necessarily reflect the level of academic difficulty. Indicative Selection Ranks are not available for new degrees. Selection Ranks can change from year to year and should be used as a guide only.

Applicants over 18At Griffith, you are considered mature age if you are seeking entry to university and you are 18 years of age prior to the commencement of the next trimester.

PathwaysIf you have not met the entry requirements through your recently completed secondary studies, there are a range of options that can help you upgrade to your preferred degree or to satisfy subject prerequisites.

We recognise the knowledge and skills gained through bridging courses, Vocational education and training (VET) study and Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) results. The Selection Ranks from these qualifications may not meet the entry requirements for all degrees.

Please contact us to clarify the specific requirements for your preferred degree. Please note, STAT is not for current school leavers. For more information, visit griffith.edu.au/pathways

You can list up to six preferences on your QTAC application or five preferences on your UAC application. You’ll receive an offer for the highest preference you’re eligible for. Here’s a guide to ordering your preferences:

1st and 2nd Desired degrees—these are degrees you really want to study and that you have a reasonable chance of gaining entry to.

3rd and 4th Preferred degrees—these are degrees that you want to study and have a good chance of gaining entry to.

5th and 6th Pathways—these are degrees or diplomas that will help you upgrade to one of your desired or preferred degrees.

• Nominating a degree for all preferences will give you the best chance of being offered a place at university.

• If you’re applying for a double degree, make sure you list the two component single degrees as preferences as well —these may be easier to gain entry to. You may have the chance to upgrade to the double degree after a year of study.

• If you intend to study at the Gold Coast campus, we recommend that you apply via either QTAC or UAC, but not both. If you’re eligible, you’ll still receive your offer with us and you’ll save on application fees.

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.

Financial assistanceOnce 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.
