Award Program
A program of study leading to an award of the University.
Award Requirements
The set of academic requirements, also referred to as degree requirements, which need to be attained for an award of the University to be conferred.
Bachelor Degree (AQF Level 7)
Bachelor Degree (AQF Level 7) is a program typically equivalent to three or more years of full-time study designed to equip graduates with learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and application) at the level of the qualification type, consistent with the discipline and the characteristics of The Griffith Graduate, for which the University grants the award of Bachelor of X.
Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8)
Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8) is typically equivalent to one year of full-time study, normally taken after the completion of a three year bachelor degree, referred to as "end-on honours". The requirements for the end-on honours program are set out in the Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8) Policy. For the Bachelor Honours Degree the University grants the award of the Bachelor of X with Honours. A Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8) of four of more years in length may be studied concurrently with the bachelor degree, with the honours typically included in the final year/s of the program, referred to as "concurrent honours". In a concurrent Bachelor Honours Degree there is no differentiated study program and all students awarded the degree receive one award the Bachelor of X with Honours. The term embedded honours refers to the award of Honours on the basis of a differentiated study program within a Bachelor degree (AQF Level 7) program which is four or more years (full-time equivalent) in length. Students who meet specified admission criteria may apply to change programs to the AQF Level 8 Bachelor Honours Degree and on successful completion receive one award the Bachelor of X with Honours. Courses in bachelor degrees are identified as: * core (including designated and English language enhancement [ELE]), capstone and elective (listed and free choice); and* having learning outcomes appropriate to first year, second year, third year, fourth year or fifth year level and are assigned a course code in accordance with the "Course Catalogue, Coding and Other Course Attributes Policy".
