Griffith has a core foundation of four academic groups: Arts, Education and Law; Griffith Business School; Griffith Health; and Griffith Sciences
We also have schools, departments and centres that fall under our academic groups, plus a range of research centres and institutes that develop new knowledge to feed into these areas. An array of administration services support the University and our staff and students, as well as our research, teaching and learning and engagement. Griffith is led by the Vice Chancellor and the University Executive Group, and our governing body is the Griffith University Council and its committees.
