Hey, so i have never deferred an exam before and I have an exam on Friday. I need extra time to study for it I don’t think I’ll pass.
How strict are they with giving deferred exams if I give them a medical certificate saying I’m sick and I can’t sit the exam will it work?
Also do I have to give the medical certificate on the day or before or after, what’s the time frame like?
Please help:( I might fail
Hi everyone,
I’m an international student from India and will be joining Griffith University (Gold Coast campus) for my Master’s program at the end of June.
I’m currently looking for accommodation with a budget of around AUD 250–300 per week and won’t have a car initially. I’d really appreciate advice on:
• Best suburbs or areas to live in near the campus
• Student accommodation vs shared housing recommendations
• Areas with good public transport access
• Places where students commonly find part-time jobs
• Any tips for settling in during the first few weeks
If you’re a current Griffith student or have lived on the Gold Coast, I’d love to hear about your experience and recommendations.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi :) I’m from Europe and have been accepted into a study exchange program at Griffith University. I’m struggling to choose a visa type to apply for - either Study Visa (500) or Work and Holiday Visa (462).
I will be in Australia only for 1 trimester, so WHV would be enough in terms of the time spent studying. What I don’t like about the Student Visa is that you can work only 48h per fortnight, and I think I would like to have more freedom with that, but I’m not sure if Griffith accepts this kind of Visa for international students? Can I have all the advantages of being a student (whatever there might be) if I’m on WHV?
Also, my boyfriend wants to come with me to Australia, but he didn’t study anymore, he just wants to be there with me and find some local temporary job for that time. Does he have a choice of visas then, or the only one he can choose for that is WHV? I’m basically asking, if I would get a Student Visa, could I somehow mention him in my visa process so we get that visa together, even though he will not study, or would he have to get the WHV anyway?
I would be grateful if you could share your experience if you’ve completed your exchange already or just know more about the topic :) Thanks!
hi, i received an offer for crim/business at griffith trimester 2. however, i would like to prefer qut bc its closer and stronger reputation. Should i accept the offer then transfer to qut later or wait for next offer round (16/06)?
So I’m in Year 10, located in Brisbane, Turing 16 in a couple months and have to pick subjects for 11 and 12 in a couple months. My passion is definitely for climate change and environmental related problems. My original thought it was be a scientist of some sort but they don’t actually help solve problems unless they create or find something new and they have to do math which I would rather avoid, and fieldwork which I don’t want to be my full time work. So I’ve landed on being a Policy analyst/advisor or something around those lines. The big picture is to work my way to being a UN climate Negotiator, that would be my “dream job” you could say. But obviously you need a bunch of workplace experience before you can do that so in terms of employment post-uni I wanna know what routes would be my best option.
I originally thought to do a BA in Climate Science at QUT, it’s only around $9000 a year for 3 years. Then do a masters in some sort of policy/polisci/IR. UQ offers a masters in IR or Governance and Public Policy (both at around the 30-40k mark). This would hopefully land me cool niche climate-policy jobs which would be extremely fulfilling. The only thing is would a masters in those areas be hard to do without a BA in those areas?
Or there’s a second option. I do a BA in Advanced Political Science and IR (Honours) at Griffith and do a double major in Public Policy, then I’m thinking Chinese (as I’m studying it in Year 11 and 12 and will help me land potential UN jobs I assume as a second language is kinda mandatory.) I could also switch from Chinese to something like Economics, idk if that would get me more straight employability pls let me know. Then I would get a Masters in Governace and public policy or, a Masters in IR.
Or for my masters/ maybe BA I could do environmental management. But idk if that would land me a policy oriented job? Any guidance on that would be appreciated.
Another very important thing to consider is that the climate science BA would cost $27000 total, whereas the Griffith PoliSci one costs $64,000. So option 1 total would be a total of $58000 and option 2 would be $95000. Yikes. The PoliSci and IR BA has a guaranteed work placement/internship though which’s would look amazing on a graduate position job application. But on the other hand maybe having a specialisation in climate would make me standout against other people. If I don’t do climate science and do option 2 I can take environmental policy minors/courses. In my Masters. Would employers even take that into consideration and see me as an environmental-policy person? And the turnoff of doing climate science as a BA is that the first year is just all math and the three sciences, so I would study straight physics which I don’t like. Then throughout the degree there’s a total of 2-3 math courses and I lowkey am bad at math but am doing methods (math but advanced) in year 11 and 12 but lowkey might drop down depending on how bad I go. So yeah and at the end of the degree is a capstone thing where you do a research project which doesn’t appeal to me. So that degree probably isn’t gonna be the funnest and I’m gonna have to do a lot of math which I don’t like.
Any guidance would be helpful with what to do in respect to what jobs there are and whatnot.
So, I’m going to apply to study Ba Arts degree soon, at Griffith University through Open Universities Australia. I was wondering whether Griffith University sends out information or welcome letter through the mail?
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there's a pathway for undergraduate dentistry at Griffith and the website is quite confusing in that regard. By undergrad I mean like a bachelors in dental science
Do I need a medical certificate dated on the day of the exam, or can I get the certificate beforehand?
Hi, doses anyone have any recommendations for easy courses I can choose as electives in business 2/3 year that doesn’t have any group assignments or presentations? Thanks
So this is a little embarrassing, but basically, one of my assignments was due last week and I haven’t submitted yet (i got an extension for three days (till last Monday) and I still haven’t submitted it yet).
For context, I’m a first year in my first trimester, and I’ve been really struggling with learning to juggle my course load and, well, life I suppose. I would have studied part time if it was fully my choice, but I was unaware of what it entailed and until recently, was really wondering if I was cut out for uni at all. It feels like everyone else is doing better than I am (and obviously they are cause no one I’ve talked to has experienced the shitshow I’ve created).
I’m so ashamed atp and I’m not sure if I should bother submitting (cause isn’t 7days post submission date failure?). This assignment is worth 60% lol, and I’m debating whether I should just cut my losses, take the fail and just focus on studying for my exams so I don’t fail the other three courses. Has anyone been in this situation before, and should I even try to submit now?
UPDATE: Genuinely thank you all so much for your comments, as I asked about the extension and it got approved till Friday! Genuinely did not expect it to be. I love you people that i don’t know and thank you again 🫶🫶🫶
fuck my life
Hey everyone, I just wanted to know how is Master of Business (Supply Chain Management) at Griffith University, probably Nathan campus for an international student.
I wanted to know how the course actually is in terms of:
- internships,
- employability,
- and jobs after graduation in Brisbane.
Would really appreciate honest opinions from current students or graduates, especially about how hard/easy it is to get internships and graduate jobs in supply chain/logistics there.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I’m an international student commencing in Trimester 2 (July intake) at Griffith University and I’m a bit confused about the enrollment process.
Do I need to have a USI before I can plan or enroll in my courses through MyGriffith?
I’m currently in India and haven’t arrived in Australia yet. Can international students obtain a USI while overseas, or do we need to be physically present in Australia first?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has recently gone through this process. Thanks!
I missed a mandatory online quiz worth 15% of my final grade because I confused the timing while balancing work and being unwell. I know this is entirely my responsibility.
I emailed my course convenor immediately after realizing it was closed(2hours after closing) and politely asked if there is any possibility of reopening it or doing an alternative attempt.
The course is quite strict (mandatory assessment), and I’m worried this might result in a fail for the unit. I’m an international student and this unit is important for my progression/scholarship.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? How strict are universities usually with reopening missed quizzes like this?
Was wondering the differences between each griffith uni campus. Ive had some people say the gc one is like a whole other uni with little community, social, or political presence.
