Griffith University

“Griffith saw the potential in me. From the easy application for enrollment to the accommodation it provides are the reasons why I decided to go and study here to pursue my dream and career.”

The International Student Buddy Program runs from Week 1 to Week 4 of Trimester, across all five campuses. New international students are matched with more experienced students (Senior Buddies) for social support meetings once a week. These sessions are designed to help ease the transition to uni life and provide a safe and comfortable environment for new international students to ask questions about Griffith, life in Australia, as well as practise

One of my favourite parts about studying I.T. at Griffith is the opportunity to use state of the art facilities! It is also fantastic to be taught by industry leaders - I feel like I am gaining knowledge that will help me in my career.

“The best thing about the Gold Coast is the atmosphere. You've got the beaches, and everyone wakes up in the morning early and you can go to the beach; it's really refreshing and it gets you ready for the whole day.”

“Griffith University helps students to build careers through real-life industry experience in their

In addition, Griffith University has a range of mentoring programs connecting students locally and globally, allowing students, alumni and industry professionals; through this Industry Mentoring Program, the university will help students to find a suitable
mentor to support and guide career development.”

“I love studying at Griffith English Language Institute because the staff have been really supportive and welcoming when I arrived, and there is always amazing weather so I can enjoy the beautiful beaches.”

Griffith University has unveiled an ambitious and strategic plan to invest more than a billion dollars to develop infrastructure across Griffith’s campuses, including a new CBD location.
Students will be major beneficiaries of the new strategic plan through the creation of the Griffith Graduates of the Future program which will ensure every undergraduate student has a capstone experience that is work-related (such as an internship, international mobility experience, research project, or participation in a national or international competition).

“I love studying at the Gold Coast because I love the lifestyle. It's a beautiful place, beautiful weather and beautiful life!”

Griffith has an incredible criminology department with high profile individuals to learn from. The academic staff have provided me with wonderful support to help me through my studies.

As a Griffith Mate, I’ve been able to improve my self-confidence and my public speaking skills. I met amazing people throughout the program who are a part of my network now.
Being a Griffith Mate is a wonderful opportunity to share your experience with students from all over the world and I highly recommend it to all the students of Griffith University.

“Some things I love about the Gold Coast are the beautiful sunny weather and the beautiful national parks. The tram line is only 10 minutes away from my house so I can go straight to uni!”

“The reason I chose to study at Griffith is because I get my own studio to work in where I can do my models; I have my own space to work. I like studying here because of the beaches, the culture and the way the people are. It's good to be here!”

I chose Griffith as my university because of its various student support services and high quality level of education.

“Some of my favourite things about studying at Griffith University are the very supportive staff, the library, the amazing support from lecturers and the multicultural nature of the students you find at the University.”

I love the events that Griffith University has to offer, along with the ability to get involved with clubs and even work opportunities available to students.

“Student services at Griffith offered me diverse support throughout my first year. I have also enjoyed a range of activities where I met some of my new friends during Orientation.”

I have started my Griffith University journey from Griffith College. I came there straight from high school and they gave me the foundation of my Griffith University program. I believe that after Griffith College I was more familiar with the Australian education system, and I felt more confident and prepared to enter the university life at Griffith.

Griffith University offers an exciting and generous range of scholarships to support international students coming to study in our undergraduate, postgraduate, research and pathway programs. Our scholarships recognise remarkable students with outstanding academic achievements and the potential to make a positive contribution to Griffith and our community. We also offer scholarships to encourage and support immediate family members of Griffith students and alumni.

I chose to study at Griffith University in Queensland because it has great weather. My friends studied here already, and recommended me. Griffith’s support services helped me at the start when I wasn’t used to how university worked especially in a totally new country like Australia.

The global research reputation and academic staff at Griffith are why I chose to study in Brisbane. A highlight of studying at Griffith University has been making many good international and domestic friends, particularly by being a Brisbane International Student Ambassador in 2016.

I have always wanted to get out of my comfort zone and explore the world and the different cultures it has to offer. That was the main reason why I decided to come to Australia. Griffith University has been known to have the best mix of all cultures combined, which is why I decided to join Griffith.
