How Griffith University handles application dates
Griffith University assesses international applications on a rolling basis rather than to one fixed deadline. The date shown is a recommended time to apply for your intended intake, roughly three to four months before it starts. Applications are usually still accepted after it while places remain and there is time for a student visa. Griffith runs three trimesters, starting in March, July and November, and takes applications year-round. Some programs have their own deadlines, and research degrees close about eight weeks before the intake.
