Griffith University awards credit into a range of undergraduate degree programs for studies completed in an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Students must achieve a passing grade in the IB subject considered equivalent to the University course.
Students can receive credit up to the equivalent of one full-time semester of University study. The amount of credit awarded will be determined based upon the IB subjects studied and the Griffith program the student has been admitted to.
This credit will allow students to either accelerate their University degree or reduce their University workload in certain semesters.
Griffith University offers, in conjunction with course credits for IB subjects, program credit which enables students to accelerate their studies.
Additional opportunities to accelerate Griffith University programs for IB diploma students are continuing to be developed.
Further information about the pathways into Health programs for IB diploma students is available from the Griffith Health website.
