Unitemps

Griffith was the first university in Australia to offer Unitemps, a service dedicated to helping you get paid part-time work while you study. Unitemps is an in-house recruitment service that facilitates connections between Griffith students and employers who are offering temporary paid work. The Unitemps team is committed to helping you be the best candidate you can, while identifying student friendly roles to provide financial help while you study and enhance your employability upon graduation.

We offer a range of scholarships for international students coming to study in our undergraduate, postgraduate, research and pathway programmes. These aim to recognise remarkable students with outstanding academic achievements and the potential to make a positive contribution to Griffith and our community.

Study Abroad

Griffith University’s Study Abroad and Exchange programmes embody our commitment to forward-thinking education. We provide you with specialised courses and activities to make sure you have a remarkable experience in Australia. Students may be eligible to take our Study Abroad programme directly after finishing secondary school. Please contact Study Options for more information.

Exchange at Griffith

Exchange students are nominated by a Griffith partner university and are not required to pay tuition fees to Griffith. Any tuition fees due are paid to your home university. Most exchange students will, however, be required to cover the cost of Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Please see griffith.edu.au/international

Tuition fee guarantee

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change. If you are a degree student commencing in 2020, we guarantee that your fees will not increase by more than 2.5% per year for the normal duration of your programme. This means you can have confidence on the total cost of your degree at Griffith University.

Student support services

You will have access to Griffith’s diverse range of student support initiatives, including programmes and staff dedicated specifically to helping international students.
