Music, the Arts and the Asia Pacific
The Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University (QCGU) is one of the top institutions for tertiary music training in the southern hemisphere - teaching music for more than half a century.
While QCGU is distinguished for its role in teaching and professional practice, the Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre, embedded within the QCGU, is well positioned to explore issues that are at the heart of musical practice today. The Centre is focused on performance-based research, learning and teaching, music technology, cultural policy, and cultural diversity, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region.
QCGU is developing focus on the Asia Pacific region and has affiliations with the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts, Shanghai Conservatory of Music and Shandong College of Art and Music. The QCGU also collaborates with the Griffith Asia Institute through its Encounters initiative - building on our strengths both in Asian studies and innovative musical practice.
One of Australia's oldest art institutions, Queensland College of Art, and one of the nation's largest film schools, Griffith Film School, combine to cement Griffith's teaching strength in the arts.
