Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying creative arts

Creative arts degrees combine studio or performance practice with critical study. Entry often considers a portfolio or an audition as well as your ATAR.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Do students stay and finish?

Of students who started at Griffith in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree
65.1%
Still studying
4.7%
Left after returning
20.6%
Never came back after first year
9.6%

More recently: of new Griffith bachelor students in 2023, 18.5% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:4 years × $9,880/year ≈ up to about $39,500Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Griffith did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. A double degree is charged at two rates. We only hold one, so the real total may be lower. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.
