CERTIFICATE IV + DIPLOMA OF BUSINESS STUDIES + GRIFFITH BACHELOR (BUSINESS OR COMMERCE)
Students who complete a minimum of Year 11 with an IELTS equivalent of 5.0 can apply for a package program with Kelly Colleges and Griffith University. Students will spend between 15-17 weeks studying the Certificate IV in Business and another 40-45 weeks studying in the Diploma of Business Studies. After this combined duration of approximately 13 months, students can gain direct entry into second year of Griffith's Bachelor of Business or Commerce.
As class sizes are small in these programs, instructors are able to spend substantial time giving support, extra tutuoring and academic counselling to students. This means that students can benefit from a great quality education with more individual attention and shorter times. When students arrive at Griffith University, they will be prepared both academically and behaviourally for tertiary studies with healthy study habits and clear expectations. Please see details below for individual programs.
