New in 2017

Griffith is introducing a wide range of initiatives in 2017 to meet the changing needs of students.With these changes, you can balance your lifestyle with your learning style, put what you learn in the classroom into practice, and enjoy the best education experience possible.

Balance work with study

With Griffith's trimester model, you’re in control of how you study. You can choose to study fewer subjects each trimester, giving you more time for work and other commitments.

Fast-track your degree

Some degrees at Griffith offer a fast-track option, allowing you to complete your degree in as little as two years and get a head start on your career.

More industry placements than ever before

At Griffith, you don’t just learn in the classroom. You’ll have the chance to include industry experiences, including placements, internships and projects for real clients, from early in your degree. Griffith is also an Official Partner of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, which will give you the opportunity to be involved in the build up to and delivery of the biggest event in Australia this decade.

New double degrees

Griffith is introducing a range of new double degrees that are specially designed industry-related combinations of study areas that will help you stand out in the job market.

Introducing trimesters

From 2017, Griffith will be offering some degrees across three trimesters, rather than two semesters, which gives you the flexibility to pace your study to suit your needs. Queensland Conservatorium degrees will still have a Trimester 1 start date, however, in other areas you'll have more opportunities throughout the year to start study—for example, you can start some of our arts, science and IT degrees in February, July or October—so if you want to take a break from study after school, you can still start university in 2017. The third trimester is optional for some degrees, so you can still take a longer break at the end of the year. Or, you can spread your study across three trimesters, which can give you more time for work and other commitments.

‘I love performing and I feel that theConservatorium gave me a wonderfulplatform to develop my talent and helpme achieve my goals.’

COVER STORYMirusia is an Australian-Dutch soprano who gained worldwide fame as a soloist with André Rieu—the man responsible for turning classical and waltz music into a worldwide concert touring act as successful as some of the biggest global pop and rock music acts.

She studied opera at the Queensland Conservatorium and at the age of 21 was announced as the youngest winner ever of the prestigious Dame Joan Sutherland Opera Award.

She says her time at the Conservatorium was marked by a feeling that it was finally a place where she fitted in, where she made lifelong friends and contacts in the music industry.

‘My dream always was to tour the world, and I am fortunate to say I have followed and lived that dream so far! I am really proud of my achievements in my career, but I am also still learning every day and there is still so much I want to do.’

2.University applications made through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) or the University Admissions Centre (UAC, for New South Wales applicants), are assessed on two things:

1. Eligibility—subject prerequisites and any additional criteria set by the university

2. Merit—OP, ATAR (New South Wales students) or Rank

Eligibility

Subject prerequisites Applicants to the Conservatorium’s degrees are selected based on various requirements, which may include satisfactory results in an audition, written or oral interview, presentation of folio, as well as academic achievement. Carefully check the specific requirement for the degree/s for which you wish to apply. You must apply in the year before beginning studies at the Conservatorium. See page 12 for more details about auditions.

As well as an audition or folio, you will need to submit an application to the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) or to the University Admissions Centre (UAC) by 30 September 2016. The Application for Audition form is available at griffith.edu.au/music‑audition

Application for Audition forms must be submitted by 15 August (QTAC and UAC applicants).

A non-refundable audition fee is charged for every audition in a different instrument/vocal area that you apply for.

The fee is charged as follows:

� AU$50 for each instrument/vocal/ folio audition

English language proficiencyIf you’re an international applicant, or if your previous study was undertaken in a language other than English, you will need to demonstrate that you can speak, write, read and comprehend English. The English language requirements vary between different degrees. Search degrees.griffith.edu.au for information on your chosen degree.

Merit

Cut-offsQTAC and UAC make offers to eligible applicants in order of OP, ATAR or Rank. Offers are made to students with the highest results first and the place where they stop is called the ‘cut-off’.

Cut-offs are an indication of the demand for a degree, and don’t necessarily reflect its quality or level of difficulty. They’re set each year, and can change from year to year. The previous year’s cut-offs can be used as a guide only. Indicative cut-offs aren't available for new degrees.

Applicants over 18

If you are 18 or older, you’re considered a mature age student. If you don’t qualify for admission based on your Year 12 results, you can apply based on work and other professional qualifications and experience. We recognise the knowledge and skills gained through bridging and preparatory studies, professional and paraprofessional qualifications, vocational experience, and Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) results. Please note, STAT is not for current school leavers. See the QTAC website for more details.

QTAC and UAC assess your knowledge and skills gained through professional qualifications, bridging programs, work experience or other pathways. Make sure you include them on your QTAC or UAC application.

3.You can list up to six preferences on your QTAC or nine preferences on your UAC application. You’ll receive an offer for the highest preference you’re eligible for.

Here’s a guide on how to order your preferences:

Prepare your application

Things to remember when selecting your preferences

� Nominating a degree for all six preferences using the guide above gives you the best chance of being offered a place at university.

� You’ll have the opportunity to change your preferences for the main offer round after results are released in December.

� If you’re applying for a double degree, it’s a good idea to list the two component single degrees as a preference as well—these may be easier to gain entry to. You may have the chance to upgrade to a double degree from a single degree after a year of study.

1st and 2ndIdeal degrees—these are the degrees you really want to study, even if you’re not sure you’ll meet the entry requirements.

3rd and 4th

Realistic degrees—these are the degrees that you have a good chance of gaining entry to. These degrees could also provide another pathway into your chosen career, and they might offer the opportunity to upgrade your entry score so you can change degrees after a year of study.

5th and 6th

‘Foot‑in‑the‑door’ degrees—these are the degrees that you are prepared to study if you miss out on your other preference. These should be degrees that are easier to gain entry to and offer a chance to upgrade, or offer a pathway to another degree.


You need to submit your application for audition for degrees at the Queensland Conservatorium by 15 August 2016. See page 12 for more information about auditions, and visit griffith.edu.au/music‑audition for details on how to submit an application for audition.

6.Most domestic students who are studying undergraduate degrees are recognised as Commonwealth supported students. This means you pay a student contribution each trimester and the majority of the cost of your education is met by the Australian Government.

How much will I pay?

The amount you are required to pay for your student contributions depends largely on your field of study. The Australian Government groups different areas of study into ‘Bands’, and sets a maximum amount higher education providers (such as Griffith University) can charge you for a full-time study load. At Griffith, full-time study for most degrees means eight courses per year. Your student contribution cannot exceed the maximum rate set by the Government, and most universities and other providers charge the maximum rate.

Student contribution bands in 2016

Find out about study costsand financial assistance

Student Contribution Band

Disciplines in each band

Student contribution amount (per full‑time study load)

Band 1Humanities, behavioural science, social studies, education, clinical psychology, foreign languages, visual and performing arts, nursing

$0 – $6,256

Band 2Mathematics, statistics, computing, built environment, other health, allied health, science, engineering, surveying, agriculture

$0 – $8,917

Band 3Law, accounting, administration, economics, commerce, dentistry, medicine, veterinary science

$0 – $10,440

Visit studyassist.gov.au for more information on student contribution bands.

Deferring your study costs with HECS-HELPHECS-HELP (the Higher Education Contribution Scheme-Higher Education Loan Program) is a government loan that, depending on your citizenship or residency status, allows you to defer the costs of your study and pay your student contribution when you are earning more money. You repay your HECS-HELP debt through the tax system. This means that other than study materials such as textbooks, you will have no up-front costs for your degree.

Scholarships

We offer scholarships for students from different backgrounds at different stages of their university career. Visit griffith.edu.au/scholarships to find out what you’re eligible for.

Financial assistance

Once you are at university, our welfare and student liaison officers can help you plan budgets, apply for loans and equity schemes (if you qualify), and explore other financial options, such as Centrelink payments. Visit griffith.edu.au/welfare for more information.

7.QTAC and UAC offers for study in Trimester 1 2017 will be released in mid-January. We recommend accepting your offer and enrolling as soon as possible to secure your place. You can then select your classes and create a timetable.

Credit for prior learning

Upon being accepted into Griffith University, you can apply for credit for prior learning, which can reduce the time it will take to complete your degree. You may be granted credit on the basis of prior formal, non-formal or informal learning if you can demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes of the Griffith course or degree. Visit griffith.edu.au/credit to find out more.

Deferment

We offer deferment for most of our degrees. This allows you to delay the start of your studies for one year, while still securing your offer.

Note. Deferment is not available for music degrees.

Accept your offer and enrol

For other Griffith degrees you can request to defer after you receive an offer. For QTAC, you can select the deferment option when you respond to your QTAC offer.

For UAC, you can email [email protected] to request deferment. For both QTAC and UAC, approval of deferment is automatic for approved degrees and will be confirmed by the University.

Internal transfer

Once you have been admitted to Griffith you have the option to apply for an internal transfer to another degree, providing you meet the entry requirements for the degree you wish to transfer to. Application is made directly to Griffith—you don’t need to reapply through QTAC or UAC. We also offer mid-year transfers to degrees that have a Trimester 2 intake. Exceptions apply.

Our scholarships, which are some of the most rewarding and supportive in Australia, make studying at university easier.

Scholarships

Each year Griffith University and its partners provide more than $40 million in direct financial support to help new and continuing students successfully complete their degrees.

Over 400 scholarships are available, and they can cover tuition fees, education and related travel costs, and living expenses. We offer academic scholarships (based largely on grades), equity scholarships (that consider your background and financial position) and sport scholarships (for high-level athletes).

We also offer some scholarships specifically to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. New Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) scholarships will also be available in 2017 and 2018. See page 34 for more information about our GC2018 partnership.

Jessica Goodrich chose to study music over engineering because she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to study something she loved. She said the Sir Samuel Griffith Scholarship has helped her more than she could have imagined. ‘It means I don’t need to work as many hours part-time and have more time to focus on my studies. Also, with music there are so many extra things on offer like camps, concerts, lessons with visiting artists and instrument maintenance. This scholarship has allowed me to do all of these things without having to worry about what I can and can’t afford.’ Jessica was also one of four Queensland Conservatorium French Horn students to attend the International Horn Symposium in Los Angeles.

You can apply for and receive more than one scholarship. To apply online, and for more details about scholarships, visit griffith.edu.au/scholarships or email [email protected]

We can also provide information on how to find off-campus accommodation, what to look for when inspecting properties, how to apply for accommodation once you have found the right place and help you connect with potential flatmates if you’re looking to share accommodation.
