Griffith University

The highlight of my Griffith experience so far is definitely my exchange to Plymouth University. This program allowed for me to cross the globe and complete courses I wouldn't have had access to otherwise. In conjunction with this, I have been able to create an international professional network with industry professionals.

I chose Griffith University because it allowed me to do two degrees at once very easily. Everyone was very helpful in admissions and answered my questions thoroughly and on time. Although Griffith is a big university the contact with staff and admin is very accessible. Being a transfer student Griffith has allowed me to transfer credits easily as well!

I chose to study at Griffith University because of its outstanding reputation as one of the leading universities for health and medical research. Being around some of the greatest scientists in Australia is inspiring.

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 chose to study at Griffith University because it is one of the high ranked universities of the world and of Australia, which provides quality education and a very friendly environment to the students

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.

The highlight of my experience at Griffith University was getting an Honours scholarship and being able to work on research exploring children's empathy through augmented reality.

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.

Griffith's support services made my transition to Australia and its culture very smooth as help was always available as soon as I needed it. I clearly remember being worried about the different education style in Australia, especially referencing, but so many resources were available to guide me through it.
I chose to study at Griffith because it has industry-based programs with a lot of opportunities to gain practical experience during the degree.

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 was able to host and organise events where people from all over the world could come together. Seeing people having fun and new friendship being established brings me tremendous joy.

Overall, the environment and the staff at Griffith are very cooperative and accommodating. Moreover, different societies and services at Griffith are very helpful for a student to excel and solve issues.

I graduated at quite a young age from high school and I knew I wanted to study something medicine or biology related. However, I didn't want to start medicine just yet because I'm uncertain myself. I saw that Griffith is the only university that we didn't have to choose specific majors during Biomedical Science and keeps it pretty broad, rather 'specialising' only when continuing studies to a higher degree.

When I first arrived in Australia, I didn’t know anything about this new place nor did I know anyone. The orientation ceremony held by Griffith helped me a lot to learn everything I needed to know for my studies. The friendly support staff and mentors made a huge impact on my positive start to being a Griffith student.

Griffith's support services have helped me with something that I personally have struggled a lot with - socializing and making new friends. Moving entirely alone to a new country was very difficult for me to adjust to, especially because I had no friends here and nobody to turn to when I needed help. Through Orientation activities and several Griffith Mates programs (volunteering day-trips and the Buddy Program specifically) have helped me meet new people and make friends, some of which are in the same courses as I am.
