Why Should Griffith ?

Griffith- the ideal location to combine study with a great lifestyle. Positioned in Queensland's burgeoning Brisbane-Gold Coast corridor, Griffith is a six-campus university with more than 23,000 students, including 3,000 students from over 75 nations and 2,500 academic staff. As well as its original Nathan location on Brisbane's south side, the University has five other campuses including Mt Gravatt, Logan and Gold Coast. Griffith also encompasses Australia's largest music school, the Queensland Conservatorium, as well as the nation's oldest art institution, the Queensland College of Art.

The interdisciplinary nature of a Griffith degree is one of the University's hallmarks and its various courses continue to challenge rigid academic structures.

With traditional strengths in the areas of environmental science and modern Asian studies, Griffith has been quick to take the lead in other disciplines, introducing courses in areas as diverse as business and commerce, child and family studies, biomedical science, contemporary Australian Indigenous art, information technology and multimedia. This responsiveness to community and industry needs is a particular strength of Griffith and reflects the commitment of its academic staff to explore new relationships between disciplines.

Griffith's world-leading research continues to figure prominently on the international stage, With almost 50 specialized research centers, institutes and units, breakthroughs in areas including molecular biology, psychology and media policy studies have allowed Griffith to gain the necessary critical mass to attract major funding from forged significant industry partnerships around the globe, including multinational company AstraZeneca, catalyzing the formation of a major screening program at Griffith to identify pharmaceutical products from natural materials.
