Accelerated single course of study is one subject of a Griffith degree

If you are seeking to be an accelerated single course student, you should make an application prior to the Teaching Period in which you wish to study.

Both external students to Griffith University and current Griffith University students studying a trimester course wanting to study a 6 by 6 course can apply.

Completing a single course study is an excellent admission pathway option that allows you to:

  • pursue a range of professional or personal interests
  • develop your skills and knowledge in a specialist area
  • meet accreditation requirements for registration with a professional body
  • contribute to your vocational and personal development
    take the first step to applying for an undergraduate or postgraduate program.

Professional accreditation requirements and overseas trained professionals

Griffith does not assess qualifications for accreditation or registration purposes. Assessment of your current qualifications and eligibility must be undertaken by the related Australian accreditation or professional body.

Following assessment of overseas qualifications, you can submit an application if you are required to undertake additional single units of tertiary study. A certified copy of the formal assessment is required to be attached to your application. It is your responsibility to obtain confirmation from the relevant professional body that the nominated single units of study comply with relevant accreditation or registration requirements.

You can use the Griffith Degree and career finder to find courses of interest to you.
