The University's Admission Policy will apply.
This program is quota managed as there are a limited number of places available to ensure that sufficient resources are available to support the students. Meeting the admission requirements for this program may not result in an applicant receiving an admission offer.
Admission to the Bachelor of Medical Science will be determined by the following criteria:
English language requirements apply to International applicants and other applicants whose previous study was undertaken in a language other than English. The minimum English language requirements for such applicants for entry to these programs are described below.
Griffith University awards credit for prior learning which may relate to prior formal learning or prior informal and non-formal learning. For more information see below.
New applications lodged after 9 December 2024 may not be assessed in time for the January offer round. Applications close on the 30 December 2024, so applicants may add this to their preferences until this date, however no guarantee is given that applications will be assessed in time for the January offer round. After 30 December 2024, no new applicants can apply, but existing applicants can reorder this preference. Late offers after the January offer round will only be made if places remain in the program.
Incremental adjustments based on location, rurality and Education Disadvantage are available - See Bachelor of Medical Science entry on the Adjustment Factors webpage.
This degree is excluded from the Guaranteed Admission Scheme.
Applicants who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander should refer to First Peoples Health Pathway information on the GUMURRII website here.
A summary of the student profile for this program can be found on the QTAC website for Gold Coast | Nathan. The Rank profile is located on the Student Profile tab.
Note:: Applicants are not permitted to defer an offer. Should you be unable to accept an offer, you must re-apply for entry in the following year.
Internal Transfer: Griffith students may not apply for the Bachelor of Medical Science by submitting an internal transfer. Students who have been offered a place at University but have deferred and who have not attempted university study may apply through Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).
Important offer advice: Should you receive an offer into this program you will be required to enrol into classes* within a short timeframe. This information will be included in your Starting@Griffith email and expressed in the number of days from the day of issue of your email. For QTAC applicants this is inline with the offer response date in your offer email, however Griffith accepts close of business that day - 5pm (AEST). Please note that the number of days can vary depending on when the offer was made. This requirement applies to all applicants irrespective of how you applied and/or whether you accepted conditionally or unconditionally. If you do not enrol* into at least one class for your program by 5pm on the response day your offer will lapse. Lapsed offers are not automatically reinstated and are subject to available places.
*Enrolling into classes means that you are advising when you are attending class/es. Enrolment must be submitted.
Selection for admission to an undergraduate degree is made on the basis of academic merit (ATAR). The Overall Score from UCAT ANZ, if available, will be used for second order ranking within an ATAR band. Applicants without a UCAT ANZ result will still be considered for selection but will be ranked at the bottom of their ATAR band.
Selection for admission is competitive as the number of applicants generally exceeds the places available. The minimum requirement for eligibility for admission is the completion of Year 12 of secondary school or equivalent academic achievement.
Domestic applicants should apply for admission through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC).
Dress Code: Students should be aware that they are required to dress in attire appropriate to their position as a potential medical student representing Griffith University. The standard of dress should be appropriate to the activities to be undertaken and consistent with expectations as relevant to occupational health and safety requirements, local community standards and cultural mores.
Other Requirements: Bachelor of Medical Science students need to be aware that should they be successful in gaining entry into the Doctor of Medicine (5099), additional requirements must be met prior to commencement. Information about these requirements and other relevant information can be found on the Health Placement Support Hub website.
