Hi all,

I recently received an offer of admission to a PhD at Griffith, but my scholarship application was unsuccessful in this round. I applied as an international candidate, and I was told the round was highly competitive. I have more than 7 publications in my area and have presented at world congresses in my profession, so I am trying to understand what else could make a difference.

I would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation:

Did you accept a candidature-only offer and apply for scholarships later, or wait?

Are there other funding sources worth looking into (external scholarships, industry or partner funding, fee waivers after securing a stipend)?

Any advice on strengthening a scholarship application for the next round?

Thank you in advance, any advice is very welcome

Anybody who has applied in Griffith Uni and has status evaluation complete.I have applied for master's.

who here hasn’t gotten their dentistry offer? and for those who got, when did you get and can you share your stats? thank u 🙏🏻 im international student

Hi I am an international student who just finished my qualifying and will start my masters in griffith university. I wanna know how do you count when you can work full time and part time as we have a limitation in our visa condition. Thank you so much!

If anyone has stayed in the dorms, please tell me how it went. Is the higher prices of renting off-campus worth it compared to on-campus?

I am starting dentistry at Griffith University in 2027 as international student. Any suggestions regarding accommodation would be greatly appreciated!

I'm deciding on where to live next year. I'm probably going to study BMedSci at Gold Coast Campus but still considering whether or not to switch to Nathan. I just signed up for 2 bedroom at Griffith University Village, but I saw some of the reviews at they're not looking great. However, construction did end in August 2026 so I'm pretty sure that's no longer an issue. Any advice?

Hey I’m sick and I have an exam will Griffith accept an updoc medical certificate or a medical certificate from a pharmacy?

Or do I have to get one from a doctor, which I don’t know if I can find one available.

Has any Canadian applying through OzTrekk received an offer from Griffith? If you did, are you able to share the date of your offer and what your scores were like? I applied with my university grades. I had a 4.0 GPA and an 1830 on the UCAT. I messed up big time on it, but it's still within the average offer range for last year. I still haven’t heard from Griffith.
.

is it likely to be the same as trimester 1 2026 or does it vary each year?

I love writing code on paper

i know i just absolutely flunked the 1042scg and it says there's a supplementary assessment available as the eot exam requires a mandatory pass. will they email me that i need to take it?

has anyone got accepted yet?

Hey everyone!

I'm an international student who recently received an offer for Griffith University's Bachelor of Medical Science + Doctor of Medicine pathway. I'm really excited about the opportunity, and becoming a human doctor is genuinely what I want to do. However, my offer expires on October 22, so I'm trying to understand the realities of the program before making such a big decision.

I'm also considering UQ's Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Hons), which makes this decision even harder. With UQ Vet, I could qualify as a veterinarian after five years, and from what I've researched, there seem to be more straightforward pathways to working in some other countries. On the other hand, medicine is what I'm genuinely more passionate about, so I'm finding it really difficult to choose.

I'd especially appreciate hearing from current Griffith medical students, graduates, international students, or anyone familiar with both Griffith Medicine and UQ Vet

A few questions I have:

• PGY1 internships (MAIN CONCERN): For international students graduating from Griffith Medicine, how realistic is it to secure a PGY1 internship in Queensland? I'd particularly appreciate hearing from international graduates or anyone familiar with recent internship allocation outcomes.
• Academic difficulty: How difficult is the Bachelor of Medical Science in terms of GPA requirements, workload, and maintaining the grades needed to progress into the MD? I understand I need to maintain at least a 5.5 GPA but is it consider hard to maintain or it's manageable with consistent effort, or is the academic pressure particularly intense?
• Career prospects: If international graduates cannot secure an internship in Queensland, what alternatives are realistically available? Do graduates commonly look interstate or overseas, or this may become a major barrier?
• Overall experience: If...knowing what you know now, would you choose Griffith Medicine again or UQ veterinary science? Are there any disadvantages or challenges you wish you'd known about before enrolling?

Since I've never studied or lived in Australia before, I honestly don't know what the university environment, student life, or academic culture is really like. I'm also going into this without knowing anyone there personally, which makes the decision even harder. That's why hearing from people who have actually experienced these programs would mean so much to me.

My biggest concern isn't whether medicine is difficult since it definately requires a lot of work and effot. But as an international student, am I able to complete the pathway and progress into medical practice after graduation smoothly? I don't want to spend years studying medicine only to discover that there are major barriers to actually becoming a practicing doctor.

I know this is a very personal decision, but I'd be more than willing to hear from your advice and/or firsthand experiences, especially from international students who have been through this process.

My deadline is coming up so any reply really means a lot to me! Thank you!!

Hey everyone, 1st year Bachelor of Animation student here, I think Im fucked in terms of social life? I moved interstate to study here in Februrary and I dont think I have "hung out" with a single person, beyond group projects and school work.
How does one make friends? Do I have to wait until year 2 or 3 for Studios for a chance to hang out with people outside of school?

Im really not picky at all, I have general "nerdy" interests, Adult Swim cartoons, Pokemon, Indie games, been getting into the Street Fighter series, I know a disgusting amount on controversial internet drama, I consider myself "furry adjacent" but not a genuine furry, but if anyone has OCs they want drawn I'm happy to draw them.

Is it easy as going into the rooms, sometimes some people might be playing or watching something on the projector and asking what theyre playing?

I really cant tell if im overthinking this or not

Hi everyone as you can see Im desperately looking for roommates/housemates, I'll be in Brisbane on the 18th this month, if you need someone to share the rent with please dm me. Thanks 🙏🏻

Hey team,

I’m looking to apply for Griffith undergrad dentistry next year after missing out on post grad MD courses this year. There’s lots of conflicting information online regarding UCAT/Rank requirements.

I’ve completed a Bachelor of Nursing with a GPA of 5.8 which via Griffiths “Upgrading via university studies” gives me a ATAR of 97.5ish

I understand interview offers are based on UCAT alone however is 97.5 competitive enough for a final offer presuming a successful UCAT and interview. Finally, what UCAT is historically needed for an interview offer as a domestic non rural student?

TIA :)

I am an international student with 1480 sat and 2080on ucat. I got an email from griffith today and was declined. I will be thankful when you guys share your academics on my comment!

I have to take a Japanese intensive language course next tri but for one of the tutorials it overlaps on the last hour with another class I have to take. Is anyone who has taken an intensive language course able to tell me if that last hour would be very important or if it would be possible for me to make it up in my own time and still do fine??
