Griffith University

Griffith University is a public research university with five campuses across Southeast Queensland — three in Brisbane (Nathan, Mount Gravatt, South Bank) and two on the Gold Coast (Gold Coast and Logan). Griffith is widely recognised for its programs in business, criminology, hospitality and tourism, and the health sciences.

What students say

Students often mention Griffith Mates and similar peer-support programs as a helpful way to settle in and meet other international students. Course fees are commonly described as more affordable than some other Australian universities, and campus life is generally seen as vibrant, with a wide range of clubs and events. A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about course rigor in certain programs, though this isn’t a consistent theme across faculties.
