Government and international relations

Internationally recognised expertise

Griffith has ranked in the world’s top 100 for political and international studies for the past three years and has a world-class staff of political experts in areas ranging from nuclear security to threats to democracy, from the key issues in Asia, Europe and the United States to the challenges facing policy-makers in Australia and abroad.

You will be taught by political thought-leaders whose work informs the practice of governance and public policy both nationally and globally. Our politics and international relations courses focus on what matters now and into the future. You'll learn what's important and have the knowledge, skills and confidence to respond better than anyone else.

Learn through experience

Through our strong local and global connections with industry we’ll prepare you for the workforce through important practical experience like an internship or project course. Rub shoulders with industry and academic experts at the Policy Innovation Hub. Put what you learn into practice working with organisations including not-for-profits, media outlets, trade unions, parliament and local councils.

Gain a global perspective and expertise in the Asia-Pacific region through a New Colombo Plan Scholarships and student mobility program. You can also study overseas through an internship or semester exchange with Griffith’s own Global Mobility programs.

Study your way

Build your studies around the lifestyle that suits you. With the flexibility of studying on-campus, online, part-time or full-time, over two or three trimesters each year, you have more control over your studies and can fit your degree into your life. Fast-track it or take it slow. No matter where you are, we ensure you get all the support you’ll need to achieve in your studies, from academic assistance to financial support through scholarships. You can start your marketing degree in February, July or October.
