Australian Year 12 students

If you are a 2023 or 2024 Australian Year 12 student, you will be considered for admission based on your ATAR or equivalent, and whether you meet the entry criteria, such as subject prerequisites.

Griffith recognises a range of pathways to help you enter your preferred degree program, including VET study and other qualifications such as AQF certificates III and IV and diplomas, and Australian Music Examination Board qualifications. If you possess multiple qualifications, please ensure to include details of these in your application.

Most Griffith degrees have English as Assumed Knowledge.

If knowledge of another specific subject is considered necessary for successful first-year study, but is not a requirement for admission, the subject is listed under prior ‘Assumed knowledge’ in the course description (which you can access via the course search). A limited number of programs have additional subject prerequisites.
