Griffith University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Griffith University is a public university in Australia, and it suits international students looking for bachelor’s study across health, law, science, aviation, and engineering. Its multiple campuses across South East Queensland make it a practical option if you want different study locations within one university.

  2. What you can study

    Griffith offers 12 bachelor’s programmes, including Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of Dental Health Science, Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours), Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours), Bachelor of Paramedicine, Bachelor of Midwifery, Bachelor of Laws (Honours), Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bachelor of Biomolecular Science (Honours), Bachelor of Aviation, and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). The current catalogue is at bachelor’s level only.

  3. Getting in

    Applications are for bachelor’s entry, so check the entry requirements for your chosen programme and whether your previous study meets them. Confirm the application process, required documents, and any country-specific admission rules on the university’s official website before applying.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in South East Queensland will still need to be planned separately, including housing, transport, food, and health cover.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The university is in Australia and its published programme list does not state a language of instruction, so confirm English-language requirements before you apply. Also check visa timing, accommodation options, start dates, and whether your qualification is accepted for the bachelor’s programme you want.

  6. How it compares

    Among Australia’s 59 universities, Griffith stands out as a public university with five campuses and a bachelor’s-only programme list in the subjects it publishes. That makes it a more focused choice than a large generalist university if you already know you want one of its listed professional or applied degrees.
