Direct Entry Program
DEP is a high level English for Academic Purposes course designed for students with a letter of offer from Griffith University which is conditional on English language proficiency. 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). The structure of the DEP program mirrors that of a full time university course and therefore prepares students for academic study at university.
