Admission criteria

All applicants

To be eligible for admission to Griffith University, you need to satisfy any admission requirements for a program of study. In Queensland the admission score for a program is expressed as an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or selection rank. There can be additional admission requirements or selection criteria for programs including:

• English language proficiency – meeting a minimum standard of English language competency.
• Minimum age – minimum age requirements for applicants at the time they would commence their studies.
• Subject prerequisites – completion of compulsory subject matter.
• Special selection criteria – performance in an audition, submission of a portfolio, level of attainment in a specialised test, interview or questionnaire. 

Subject prerequisites and assumed knowledge

Griffith operates in an assumed knowledge framework. Most of our degrees assume you have studied certain subjects at school (or equivalent studies) and that you’ll be able to build on this knowledge at university.

English

Most Griffith undergraduate degrees expect you to have a foundational understanding of English, expressed as assumed knowledge in any General or Applied English subject Units 3&4, C. This is achieved through completing a General English subject including: English, English as an Additional Language, Literature, English & Literature Extension or the Applied English subject, Essential English, in Year 12 with a minimum grade of C in Units 3&4, or equivalent. Some degrees still require a General English and the admission criteria for these programs will state ‘English, English as an Additional Language, Literature or English & Literature Extension (Units 3 & 4, C)’. These programs include the Bachelor of Education and all Laws (Honours), including dual degrees.

Mathematics

A range of Griffith programs have mathematics as Assumed Knowledge. This is indicated in the admission criteria. These programs include Engineering (Honours) and Software Engineering (Honours). Some degrees still require a General mathematics as either a prerequisite or as a ‘one of’ a combination These programs are the Bachelor of Education which requires a ‘General Mathematics or Mathematical Methods (Units 3&4, C)’, or the Bachelor of Paramedicine which requires ‘One of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, General Mathematics or Mathematical Methods (Units 3 and 4, C)’.
