Politics and public administration

So what issues are important to you? Climate change and the environment? War and terrorism? Career and lifestyle?  Culture and society? Human rights?  Believe it or not, these issues are all essentially political, and by studying politics at Griffith University, you can make a difference.  

Don’t leave politics and world affairs to the politicians.  A degree in Politics will equip you for a meaningful career both here and abroad.  Our graduates work for governments, politicians, international organisations and private companies.  Why not join them?  

The Griffith Business School is home to leading centres of research and teaching in politics, public policy and public management.  Our teachers and researchers are internationally recognised award winners who regularly are called upon to advise governments.  Staff have a strong tradition of moving between the University and senior positions in government and non-government organisations, ensuring our knowledge of current industry developments is second to none.

We are a foundation partner of the Australian and New Zealand School of Government - developing the future generation of public sector leaders, and promoting public administration as a profession.

Judge Michael Forde said he found Griffith to be very flexible in meeting his needs considering his commitment to regular travel. "I am on circuit three months each year," he said. "I found it more productive to be improving my knowledge whilst away from home".
