Work on the international stage
The world economy is increasingly moving toward a global economy, and concurrently business is increasingly becoming international business. It's no wonder companies place such importance on business professionals with the knowledge and skills to successfully operate with and in international markets.
It takes a special set of skills to engage the international business community and nobody understands this better than Griffith's 40+ international business experts. By opening the door to information and ideas from both home and abroad, Griffith is continually helping to develop specifically-skilled graduates and create more opportunities for Australian businesses to successfully engage with foreign markets.
NEW scholarships - Second round applications close 3 Feb
BusinessPLUS scholarships
We offer three new BusinessPLUS scholarship categories this year, which seek to reward potential as well as excellence - so it’s worthwhile investigating whether you might qualify to receive one. Scholarships can cover tuition fees, education and living expenses. You can apply if you are coming straight from year 12, or if you have left high school and are applying to start an undergraduate university degree. They add to over 600 scholarships available at Griffith. You can also apply for multiple scholarships with just one application; we’ll match you with the Griffith University scholarship you are eligible for and it's free.
