Why study at Griffith?

As an undergraduate student

Earn a salary sooner

Our innovative Professional and Accelerated modes of study allow you to earn a salary sooner.

  • The Accelerated mode allows you to graduate a year earlier, giving you the choice to fast-track your career or travel the world without being left behind.
  • The Professional mode of study places you in a part-time paid industry placement in your second and third years as you complete your degree part-time.

Get hands-on experience while you study

Internships both in Australia and overseas plus work experience opportunities and key industry links will enable you to start doing business before you graduate.

  • Commerce (accounting, banking and finance, economics and financial planning) students can take advantage of their very own simulated trading room to groom their hands-on skills for a future career on the floor of the stock exchange.
  • The Ruhr Valley internship in Germany and the Korean Internship, give students the opportunity to gain work experience in another country as part of their degree.
  • The Goldman Sachs JBWere Internship gives accounting students the opportunity to experience first hand what it takes to work in one of the world’s pre-eminent financial services organisations.
  • Third year students have the opportunity to be paired up with an industry mentor, providing you with guidance and easing the transition from study to full-time employment.

Double your skills, double your career options

A Griffith double degree helps you graduate in less time than it would take to complete two degrees back-to-back. The Griffith Business School gives you the flexibility to design your business studies by combining any two of our single degrees. With more than 300 combinations to choose we're certain to have something that suits your needs.

As a postgraduate student

Enjoy a flexible approach

Our programs take account of the multiple demands you face as a working professional and are highly rated by our students for their flexibility. You’ll have the option of full-time or part-time enrolment, online delivery for some courses and classes at multiple campuses, including the refurbished Ship Inn located at South Bank on the Brisbane River, opposite central Brisbane. Most of our programs offer the option of full Master’s degrees or shorter Graduate Certificates and the time schedules indicated for completing degrees may be reduced due to the flexible offerings available in some programs.
