As one of Australia’s most diverse and inclusive tertiary institutions, Griffith University is committed to creating a future for everyone.

Hosting more than 50,000 students learning across its five South East Queensland campuses and Digital campus, Griffith has long outgrown its humble roots as a single campus of 451 students. Since opening in 1975 with a promise to make education as accessible and egalitarian as possible, the University has evolved into a respected and influential incubator of progressive thought leadership.

Today, the University offers more than 200 undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees in business and government, criminology, law, education, engineering, IT, environment, planning and architecture, health, humanities, languages, music, science, aviation, and visual and creative arts. As well as introducing Australia’s first degrees in important fields such as Asian studies and environmental science, Griffith has become a leader in online education, with more than 20 years’ experience to its name.

With a faculty boasting four Australian University Teachers of the Year and more national awards in the past five years than any other Australian university’s staff, Griffith’s students receive a world-class education informed by the University’s decades of experience in driving innovation and achievement in higher education. Griffith also prides itself on its exceptionally strong industry and community ties, which are fundamental to the University’s learning and teaching philosophy, and provide invaluable partnerships, perspectives and experience for staff and students alike.

As the home of renowned centres such as the Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery (GRIDD), Menzies Health Institute Queensland (MHIQ), Griffith Institute for Tourism (GIFT), the Australian Rivers Institute (ARI), Cities Research Institute (CRI) and many more, the University consistently produces cutting-edge, impactful research focused on making a positive difference for Australia and the world.

These achievements and accolades have seen Griffith routinely recognised on the global stage as a university of excellence, ranking in the top 2 per cent worldwide and top 300 of the major international indices. Griffith also ranks highly as a young university, regularly being featured in the QS University Rankings Top 50 Under 50 and Times Higher Education Top 100 under 50. In the most recent Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) results, Griffith was rated at world standard or above across more than 55 different disciplines.
