Hi! Silly question but what counts as non-standard? If I do one semester of part-time studies and one semester of full time studies, would I be eligible to apply as a non-standard?
Hi there,
Does anyone know whether you are required to have a COMPLETED Masters degree to apply, or can you apply after just one year of full-time study in your Masters?
I am in the predicament where I have finished my Bachelor of Science Degree and knew I would be unsuccessful for this year's intake (GPA of 6.65), and therefore I now need to decide whether to continue on with Honours / switch to a Masters / start a whole new Bachelor's Degree in order to increase my GPA.
I am currently enrolled in Honours, but am looking at withdrawing as I don't feel confident that I'll be able to achieve the First Class Honours that is required for Griffith (I'm not particularly interested/good at research, and much prefer practical work).
I am looking at switching to a Master's Degree (census date to switch is tomorrow aha..). However, the Masters will take two years to complete, and therefore I wish to know whether I can apply to Griffith after one year of full-time Master's study?
I did consider enrolling into another Bachelor's Degree for one year, but I'd rather advance my studies/career progression as opposed to starting from square one all over again for the mere sake of increasing my GPA.
Apologies for the long query, and thank you kindly in advance

The UMAT for UQ is crazy competitive isn't it?

Hi there. So im first year at uwa and they consider gpa to be 7 if HD( avg >80). So if my grade showed that i got 80 overall for a subject and it indicated HD on the academic sheet, then griffith will consider it a HD regardless of being less than 85?It now appears to be the case that if your academic records show a 82/HD then the other unis (not just Griffith) will take it as a HD. They would disregard the 82 despite them using 85+ for HD.

Non-standard refers to tertiary entry that isn't direct from high-school.
Yes, you're eligible to apply as a non-standard but it's not likely that you will get in without a full time year of study. Please refer to UQ's ranking system as an example: https://future-students.uq.edu.au/files/8838/UG_Entry_Options_2018.pdf (Griffith doesn't publish theirs).
1.5 FTE corresponds to a rank of 94 (with a GPA of 6.5+). 2 FTE of 6.5+ = 99.00 and even these people miss out on offers, so the chances of getting an offer with one full semester in addition to a part-time semester is extremely unlikely.
I'm quite sure that you can however spread your studies across part-time periods, so if you're doing 1 full semester, and 2x 0.5 FTE semesters then I'm pretty sure you've got a chance to apply (as you've met the 8 unit requirement of 2 FTE's - only downside is that you'd have to wait an additional year to apply). Refer to LMG!'s chart in the offers section for entrance scores to the program this year (6.875 IIRC).
Thanks for joining MSO and all the best with your academic goals.

Sorry Dentine, I meant 0.5 and 1.0 FTE, so one semester (4 courses) and 2 semesters (8 courses) respectively. That was an error on my part.
No worries Yamster! Thanks for the clarification. Do you also happen to know if 1.5 years of 7 GPA is considered higher than 1 year of 7 - I'd imagine this may be one of the secondary measures we are unsure about - scrolling through this thread I noticed someone with a 6.95 did not receive an offer and that the Griffith dent cohort is predominately non standard applicants? Is the latter true
Cheers

Hi there
I am planning to do 6 units full time study in this yr, 3 units each semester and i have 2 units from previous study, my gpa will be around 6.750, will i be eligible for GU den? Since i am having 2 prior recognition units.
Also will my previous course( i did 1.5 FT study then changed to a new course cause my gpa was too low) affect me in anyway with my application to GU den.
Thanks
