Environment, planning and architecture
Caring for our planet
Griffith University's world-leading natural and built environment programs are preparing tomorrow's environmental experts, troubleshooters and visionaries - those who will care for the planet while building exciting careers as environmental scientists, engineers and planners.
Few universities internationally can offer studies with such potential for not only personal rewards but also rewards for the whole of humankind.
Almost three decades ago, Griffith University had the foresight to launch Australia's first environmental studies program. Since then, the environment has been catapulted from a fringe issue to the top of political and industry agendas around the world, bringing with it an ever-increasing demand for environmental professionals.
Today at Griffith, you'll find Australia's widest range of natural and built environment programs and Australia's largest group of environmental professionals (among the largest in the world) engaged in teaching and research.
Bachelor of Environmental Planning student Annete Cupitt spent a semester visiting Archerfield Aerodrome, talking with those involved and creating plans to not only redevelop the site and promote general aviation in Queensland.
