Hello! I am in need for Mature aged students (aged 26+) that are currently studying at an Australian university to take part in a survey for my honours project.

Eligibility: Current Australian University student, over the age of 26

The current study is interested in how belonging, loneliness and barriers contribute to academic adjustment and intention to persist.

Participation is entirely voluntary and no incentive is provided. No identifiable data will be collected. The survey should take around 30 minutes.

Should you participate in this study, you will be asked to complete 96 questions on an online survey. These questions will ask about you about feelings of belonging, loneliness, study persistence and academic adjustment at university. Additionally, you will be asked some demographics questions about your age, gender, employment status, marital status, whether you have any dependants (children/other), mode of study (online/ in person), whether you study part-time or full-time and the university you are currently enrolled in.

This research will ask questions about your experience as a student, perceived loneliness and feelings of belonging/not belonging. If you anticipate these questions causing you distress you may want to reconsider participating in this study.

Participation is entirely voluntary, and you have full control over your involvement, your decision to participate, as well as the responses you provide.

Any participation is greatly appreciated!

Hi everybody, I’m just curious if anybody knows whether pre requisites can be in terms “negotiable”? I want to do immunology as an elective next year. However, I have not completed the first year biological systems course. I unfortunately do not have enough elective space to enrol in it.

I’ve completed courses such as microbiology biotechniques earth systems etc. I was wondering if anybody knows whether I can make a case that I have sufficient prior knowledge- I’m not to sure if Griffith allows this or not.

Thanks everyone!

Im looking to potentially study med at griffiths and have heard that these two places are the main accommodations available, Im specifically looking at smith collective because the place looks really nice. For those who do live there or know of anything, is the place actually advertised like the pictures they put up online and is the rent really 700 a week for a single bedroom. Also if I was to live with someone else does that mean I would be splitting roughly 800 a week amongst the two of us?
As for both places, any experience or information on them would be amazing.

Hello!
I’ll be joining Griffith for the Feb 2027 intake(Gold coast). I really wanted to know more about the Indian community in Griffith, I have been hearing about Gold Coast being really racist so I wanna know if that’s true.
Thank you for reading!

does anybody know whether the uni village accomodation booking is open or not for the 2027 trimester 1 intake?

I’m going to be moving from Canada international student, I’m curious how the job market is? Why should I start applying a month before I leave or as soon as possible or…?

So, I can apply for a BA today that starts in T2 next July. That means handing over the nonrefundable application fees.

My problem is, I need to pass a Griffith bridging course for acceptance into the BA. I can't apply for the bridging course until it becomes available early next year.

I need to move to Brisbane, but I can only afford to live on campus. Outside accommodation is too expensive. I can't apply for campus accommodation until April of next year. And, I need to have been accepted as a student at the campus.

It's not depressing, just a little funny and frustrating. I've been in situations like this before where I needed to make a leap of faith in myself and always came out on top.

Just wanted to post this so that others who have similar situations can see that they are not alone.

Oh, and I have the added fun of applying for delay of the course fees once the BA is approved.

Busy, busy, busy.

When I transferred from UQ to Nathan I was blown away by how friendly the community was, how approachable and friendly the course-coordinators were and I genuinely thought I might enjoy my time in undergrad. This semester I transferred to the Gold Coast to another program more relevant to where I want to go and I have to say I am astounded with how.. hostile the responses were.

It started off with conflicting information from program leads to conveyors. One said one thing that some courses would count towards my program, some argued against it. That assertion was met with hostility despite the credit precedent database saying otherwise in one and another thing on another. I was put through to a course conveyor who after a somewhat heated exchange outlining the confusion and a subsequent open conversation patched everything up, I was forced to repeat units I thought I would gain credit for, further complicating the scenario and prolonging my graduation.

Recently, I had another unfortunate experience where some questions I outlined to the PD. Keeping at the forefront of my mind the recent encounters, I double checked who my program advisor was before sending them my message. I felt a PD would know definitively the answer to my question, and only them. While admittedly some questions were beyond their scope as it turned out, my questions was again met with that same hostility which I felt was undeserved.

So at this point, I don't know what to do. One part of me wants to complain and to unleash thunder and lightning on them for what I feel was an unfair response, especially considering this was my first/second semester there. However, I feel I'm already "noticed" by the program team, from my other two interactions, further complicating things.

Additionally, the curriculum at the Gold Coast is superior to the ones at UQ and Nathan and I do want to do it - I would find the content and practicals interesting. However, all this experience is really making me consider to switch back to UQ and do my undergraduate there. For all the conversations about equality and inclusion at Griffith, my experience has been the opposite.

Has anyone had that experience with the Gold Coast uni or am I just imagining things? What should I do?

Hello I’m currently trying to apply into Griffith Uni for their Batchelor of Animations and have no idea what to put in my portfolio.

I’ve been watching and researching portfolio examples all over the internet ( but they are all based in America and have no idea if Australia’s system is similar/same)

If anyone here is kind enough to send an example or help over all I WILL BE SO SERIOUSLY GRATEFUL 🙏🙏🙏 LIKE SERIOUSLY 🙏🙏

I just took my UCAT ANZ today and got a 2150 and 567 SJT. How likely am I to be accepted to UQ whose last year average for the UCAT was 2121? Same thing with Griffith which had an average of 1891.

I’m applying as an international student through OzTREKK from Canada, and my high school top 6 average was 96.
