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.

Bridging and enabling programs

Bridging courses can help you meet subject prerequisites. In addition, enabling programs can provide pathways to university study if you don’t have the formal qualifications to enter an undergraduate degree.

International Baccalaureate Diploma

Are you completing the International Baccalaureate Diploma? We have a page that includes specific information for you including links to adjustment factors, the Guaranteed Admission Schemes and whether you are eligible for credit transfer once you commence in your Griffith degree.

IB Safety Net

Griffith strongly encourages all tertiary-bound IB students to focus on completing the diploma to obtain a tertiary selection rank. However, we recognise that some IB students will experience circumstances that prevent them from being awarded the diploma, and the University has put in place a process to assess you for admission.

For further information, visit International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Pathway options

If you do not gain admission to a Griffith University degree, there are many other pathway options for you, from completing a VET qualification post-school or a diploma at Griffith College.

For comprehensive pathway information, visit admission pathways.

If you do not gain admission into your preferred Griffith degree, then you may be able to upgrade your selection rank by completing one year full-time equivalent of study in another degree at Griffith. If you preference appropriately in your QTAC or UAC application, you may be able to commence in a related degree that could provide you with credit transfer when you are admitted into your preferred degree, therefore saving you time and money.
