Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
at Griffith University, Queensland.
A four-year engineering honours degree at Nathan (ranks shown) and the Gold Coast (71.05 in 2026). No prerequisites; the assumed knowledge is any General or Applied English subject and Mathematical Methods (Units 3 and 4, C).
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the Griffith Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.

A lowest selection rank describes a past intake, not a guaranteed entry score. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page before you apply through QTAC.
Prerequisite Year 12 subjects
No formal Year 12 subject prerequisites; assumed knowledge may still apply.
What you will study
Majors include civil, environmental and mechanical engineering and mechatronics at both campuses; electrical and electronic and electrical and renewable energy engineering at the Gold Coast; and electronic and electronic and energy engineering at Nathan.
