Ben Delaney
Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Data Science
'For anyone looking to study at Griffith, I strongly encourage you to consider undertaking a double degree. This year I got to take a class about website design and then with a short walk across campus later I’m learning about the ways in which we should help Australian wildlife damaged by forest fires.'
Scholarships
We offer a range of scholarships for new and continuing students.
