Making a difference through the creation and exchange of knowledge.
Leadership is, in part, about building community. Griffith Business School, in collaboration with our partners, offers many initiatives, both in the curriculum and as part of our co-curricular activities, which embody that aim.
Through graduate placement programs, work-integrated learning, professional development and research expertise, we maintain loyal and supportive relationships with many high-profile organisations across the country and throughout the Asia–Pacific region.
Industry professionals play an important part in developing our programs, ensuring Griffith graduates meet the demands of employers, today and in the future.
