QIBT Pathway Programs to Griffith University
The QIBT Certificate IV in University Foundation Studies and the Postgraduate Qualifying Program are Griffith University’s bridging programs. They are designed in consultation with Griffith University and are moderated by the university. QIBT Diploma programs are based on the first year of the equivalent Griffith University Bachelor degree program. In choosing to study at QIBT, you will be receiving a Diploma of the highest quality that is moderated by Griffith University.
QIBT offers a university foundation program which provides a bridge between secondary school and undergraduate studies. We have designed the Certificate IV in University Foundation Studies to adequately prepare you for entry to university level programs in Commerce, Design, Information Technology, Hotel Management, Engineering, Health, Science, Arts and Education fields.
When you successfully complete the foundation program, you may choose to start one of the QIBT Diploma programs. This will give you 80 credit points for entry to the second year of the relevant Bachelor degree program at Griffith University.
To move from the Certificate IV to a Griffith University Bachelor degree you need to achieve a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 4.5. This allows you to enter the majority of Griffith University’s Bachelor degree programs. For programs in high demand, you may need a higher GPA.
