LEARNING AND TEACHING INNOVATION

Home to four Australian University Teachers of the Year, Griffith has long been nationally renowned as an incubator of educational innovation and excellence. The University introduced Australia’s first degrees in environmental studies and Asian studies, and continues to rethink and reshape the way it engages students to help them develop the skills they need to succeed well after they graduate.

Griffith offers more than 200 degrees across a range of disciplines, including:

  • Architecture, construction and planning
  • Business and government
  • Criminology and law
  • Education
  • Engineering, IT and aviation
  • Humanities, languages and social science
  • Medicine, dentistry and health
  • Music and performing arts
  • Science and environment
  • Visual and creative arts

Griffith’s range of degrees are fundamentally informed by industry, providing students the resources and opportunities to be exposed to the kinds of experiences they are likely to encounter in their work life. Several of the University’s degrees offer students the chance to take up work placements, internships, field trips and other work-integrated learning opportunities as part of their education, helping them to develop and apply the knowledge they gain in the classroom in practical settings relevant to their career.

These experiences are made possible by Griffith’s extensive ties to industry and the community, with a range of partnerships and collaborations helping students make valuable connections in their field, work on research projects and gain important insight to the everyday realities of their professional journey.

LIFE ON CAMPUS
