Things to consider
Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee
The Year 12 Early Offer Guarantee provides certainty to eligible students based on Year 12 results to provide you with an early offer before you finish school—so there’s no anxious waiting for Year 12s.
ATAR Guarantee
Open to school leavers as well as mature students, our ATAR Guarantees take some of the stress out of applying to university and give you more certainty about your future study choices.
Undergraduate diplomas
Our undergraduate diplomas are designed to give you a supported start to your university studies, helping you successfully transition to your chosen bachelor degree.
Prerequisites and assumed knowledge
Some degrees, including those in laws, education, paramedicine and occupational therapy, have subject prerequisites as a condition of admission. However, most Griffith degrees are based on assumed knowledge—that is, knowledge you are expected to have gained through certain subjects at school. It is not a requirement for your application or admission but will make the degree's material more accessible.
All about your ATAR
The ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) is the primary admission pathway for Year 12 students applying to study a Griffith undergraduate program. For Queensland students visit QTAC, and for NSW students visit UAC.
Adjustment Factors
Adjustment factors recognise your academic achievements or personal circumstances and boost your selection rank, which improves your chances of getting into your preferred degree.
