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.

Why students choose Griffith

What students say

Griffith Mates and similar peer-support programs come up often 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 lively, with a wide range of clubs and events. A smaller number of reviews raise concerns about course rigour in certain programs, though it’s not a consistent theme across faculties.
