Most undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered at Griffith University are available to Study Abroad and Exchange students. You can select courses from different study areas, programs, and year levels and will be issued with a Course Approval Report that lists the courses which Griffith University approves you to study.

As part of the course approval process, your academic transcript will be used to assess whether you meet any prerequisite requirements of each course. If further information is required to make this assessment, such as detailed course profiles, then we will notify you.

The standard study load per trimester is 40CP. This is typically equivalent to 30 ECTS or 12-16 credits (USA). However, it is up to your home university to determine the credit transfer process. We do not liaise with your home university about credit transfer. Please note: Students must enrol in a minimum of 30CP to comply with student visa requirements.

As part of the application process, Griffith University will assess whether you are pre-approved to enrol in the courses. You are responsible for ensuring that your home university also pre-approved these courses.

You will only be able to enrol in courses once your have accepted your place in the program and your application has been finalised, and the open enrolment period has opened. Details about how to enrol will be sent with your Confirmation of Enrolment, once everything is finalised. We do not automatically enrol you into courses.
