Griffith University is an Australian university in Queensland with staff and students from more than 130 countries. Although many applicants look for an acceptance rate, Griffith does not publish an official institution-wide figure. The most reliable way to gauge your admission prospects is to compare your qualifications with the entry requirements for your chosen degree.
So, let’s explore Griffith University’s admissions process and the factors that prospective students should consider when preparing an application.

Preparing for Griffith University
Admission Requirements
Griffith University evaluates international applications against the academic and English-language requirements for the selected degree. Standard supporting documents include prior academic transcripts and certificates, English-language test results if available, a passport or official photo identification if available, and visa documentation when applicable. Some degrees may also require a portfolio or audition.
Applicants whose previous studies were not completed in English may need to demonstrate proficiency through an accepted test such as IELTS or TOEFL, although exemptions may apply. Standard undergraduate entry requires completion of secondary school comparable to Australian Year 12 or equivalent academic achievement. Individual degrees may impose higher or additional requirements.
Griffith may recognize prior qualifications or relevant work experience for academic credit. Applicants who do not meet direct entry requirements may have options through bridging and enabling programs or Griffith College foundation programs. Use resources on personal statements and letters of recommendation only when your chosen program or scholarship specifically requests those materials.
Tuition Fees
Griffith University’s tuition fees vary by program, study load, commencement year, and residency status. For international students, the university publishes an indicative fee in its Degree Finder and confirms current charges in the student’s Letter of Offer. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change, and quoted fees may not include special equipment or resources required for a program.
Eligible continuing international students who demonstrate genuine financial hardship may be considered for an Academic Payment Plan. However, international students in their first trimester are not eligible for this payment arrangement. Scholarships may also help eligible students reduce their tuition costs.
Scholarships
Griffith University currently offers an International Academic Merit Scholarship covering 20% of tuition fees for most eligible undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students. It is valid for the whole degree, subject to ongoing eligibility requirements.
The Vice Chancellor’s International Scholarship covers 50% of undergraduate or postgraduate coursework tuition fees for the duration of the degree, subject to ongoing eligibility requirements. It is competitive, and the number of scholarships is limited.
