GHC student Kimberley Bates talks about her experiences at Griffith
Griffith Honours College student Kimberly Bates
As a Townsville teenager with a rebellious streak, it took some time for Kimberley Bates to start the journey to university. By the time she reconnected with education and worked her way to Griffith she feared she might have left it too late. Seven years down the track, her understanding of a university degree and what it can do for someone’s life is an entirely different picture, one with depth and colour and one without borders.
Opportunities
Receive guidance
You will be supported in your career goals, as each Honours College student will be matched with a mentor. Take part in regular one-on-one sessions and receive personal attention throughout your degree.
Your mentor will assist in selecting the right experiences for you to develop your skills personally and professionally. Depending on your future aspirations, you may be matched with a leading Griffith researcher, academic or an external industry partner.

- study for overseas at one of our partner universities
- participate in International Youth Leadership Programs
- undertake overseas industrial experience at a leading company in your field of study
- be part of international community volunteering projects.
Funding support for overseas experiences can be applied for through Griffith Global Mobility and the Griffith Honours College.
