Direct Entry Program
The Direct Entry Program (DEP) is a high level course designed especially for students with a letter of offer from Griffith University which is conditional on English language proficiency. The structure of DEP mirrors that of a full-time university course and prepares students for academic study at university. Students who qualify for and successfully complete DEP progress directly to their chosen Griffith University degree without sitting an additional English proficiency test (e.g. IELTS).
