Which Griffith courses can Nepali students apply to?

Griffith lists more than 200 degrees for international students, at bachelor’s, master’s and research level, and you can filter them by study area.

The courses come in three main levels:

• Bachelor’s degrees, usually 3 years, and 4 years for engineering, pharmacy and social work.
• Master’s degrees by coursework, usually 1 to 2 years depending on your earlier study and work experience.
• Research degrees, the PhD and the Master of Philosophy.

Use Griffith’s study website to see what is offered. Some Griffith courses are also taught online, so choose an on-campus place if you want a student visa. Check every course on the CRICOS register, because only CRICOS courses can be studied on a student visa.

Which Griffith courses can lead to a 485 visa?

No course gives you a 485 visa automatically, but degrees can lead to the Post-Higher Education Work stream if you meet its rules.

Diplomas and trade qualifications need the Post-Vocational Education Work stream, which depends on the skilled list. Home Affairs also asks that your course is CRICOS registered and meets the study rule. Read our Australia 485 visa page for the streams, lengths and fee.

We found no Griffith statement about the 485 visa, so go by the CRICOS code on each course page. Griffith’s Bachelor of Information Technology page shows one, and it tells student visa holders to enrol so they finish within the time on their CoE.

Which Griffith courses are popular with Nepali students?

The table shows Griffith’s courses in the areas most popular with Nepali and Indian students, up to two per area, with each one’s level, length and campus.

Griffith’s trimesters start around March, July and November, and many courses take two or three, so check the course’s own page for its exact status.

Master’s lengths depend on your earlier study and work experience, and we show the range. The Master of Nursing Science is for people who are already registered nurses. Fees are shown on each course’s page.

What do you need for each course level?

Most bachelor’s courses ask for a grade average of 2.8 from Nepal and most master’s a 4.0 GPA out of 7, plus IELTS 6.5 with no band under 6.0.

• Bachelor’s: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 55 for most courses. The Bachelor of Nursing asks for IELTS 7.0, with 6.5 allowed in writing.
• Master’s: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 55 for most courses. The Master of Social Work asks for IELTS 7.0 with no band under 7.0.

How do you choose the right Griffith course?

Start with your background and your plan after graduation, then check the course’s CRICOS code, intakes and campus on Griffith’s own course page before you apply.

• Coming from +2? Look at the Bachelor of Business, the Bachelor of Computer Science or the Bachelor of Nursing. If your marks are short, ask about Griffith College.
• Already hold a bachelor’s degree? The Master of Information Technology doesn’t need an IT bachelor’s, though the route without a related degree takes the full 2 years.
• Planning to work as an accountant or nurse? Read the accreditation note on the course page, and compare with our PR courses in Australia page, because no course promises PR.
• Check the campus. Nursing runs at Gold Coast, Logan and Brisbane South. Some Brisbane South business and IT teaching is moving to Brisbane City, so choose your rent area after your offer.
