With industry-standard facilities and the most comprehensive range of engineering degrees available today, there's no better place than Griffith to start engineering your future.

Engineering

Griffith University's engineering program recognises that you may not yet have fully decided on which engineering discipline your career will be based. First-year studies are therefore designed to provide a balance between the ability to specialise, which is important for those who have chosen a discipline, and the ability to delay choosing, for those who have not yet decided.

Civil Engineering

You will develop knowledge and skills in the planning, design, management, construction and maintenance of civil engineering projects; as well as the communication, research and critical analysis skills which are vital to a successful career as a professional engineer.

New - Gold Coast specialisations include:

  • Civil Design
  • Coastal Engineering
  • Construction Management

Coastal Engineering

You will develop skills in coastal works such as sea walls, near-shore structures, navigation channels and beach stabilisation.

Construction Engineering

You will develop managerial skills in the planning, management and control of construction projects.

Electronic and Computer Engineering

You will develop the hardware and software design and implementation skills you will need for a career in leading-edge, high-technology fields such as communications, microelectronics, computer systems, biomedical engineering, and control systems (robotics).

New - Gold Coast specialisations include:

  • Sport and Biomedical Engineering

New - Nathan specialisations include:

  • Communications Engineering
  • Computer Systems Engineering
  • Control Systems Engineering

Environmental Engineering

It has a strong interdisciplinary focus on formulating solutions to environmental problems, and developing innovative strategies and technologies for a sustainable future.

Microelectronic Engineering 

You will develop the expertise to design integrated circuitsand applications for specific systems which are now used in every aspect of human endeavours to improve human condition in a sustainable way. 

  • Microelectronic Engineering programs and courses (coming soon)

Software Engineering

Distinguished by its focus on group project work in developing software for external clients, this program gives you invaluable experience in teamwork, project management, quality management, the application of international standards and the utilisation of industry best practice techniques.

Sustainable Energy Systems in Engineering

There is no doubt that our society cannot continue to exist the way we know it unless we develop a sustainable energy supply. We must also learn how to use the energy we have in a more efficient manner. Griffith Unviresity's courses in sustainable power engineering are concerned with developing and using technology to generate, store, distribute and use power in the most efficient and sustainable manner.

Sport and Biomedical Engineering

This degree will give you the base skills of an electronics engineer, but will also give you specialist skills to enable you to develop high technology electronic solutions for all aspects of sports training, sporting equipment and biomedical instrumentation used in clinical and rehabilitation environments.

Pathways to Engineering

If you are not successful in obtaining a place in the Griffith Engineering program that most interests you, there are a number of "pathways" to increase your chances of gaining a future place.
