Top 5 reasons to choose engineering at Griffith

At Griffith your degree is built around hands on, project based learning, with industry placements while you study. Our facilities are purpose built to accomodate the practical, creative nature of the degree.

In our newly redeveloped Bachelor of Engineering with Honours, you can choose from a wide range of majors and minor specialisations to create a unique skill set and gain the knowledge to land your dream job.

The majority of future jobs growth is likely to be in science, technology, engineering and maths.*

You’ll graduate with a recognised qualification and the work experience employers want, enabling you to take advantage of opportunities in Australia and overseas.

Designed to give you exposure to a range of engineering disciplines, our common first year gives you the chance to experience the different areas you can specialise in. You’ll graduate with a broad understanding of engineering that is needed to succeed in the industry. It also means your first year of study is with the same group of students, helping you to make new friends and to settle into university life.

1 Practical, hands on learning

Tailor your degree to suit your interests2

Strong future career prospects3

Internationally recognised qualifications4

New ‘common’ first year5

The Griffith Racing Team is a Formula SAE Team based at the Gold Coast campus. Each year, the team enters a student design competition to build a small Formula SAE-style race car. Mechanical engineering student Reece Schmith, the 2016 team’s Static Events Manager, said the project is starting to be recognised among engineering firms Australia wide. Two members of the 2015 team were employed straight after graduating—Jack Anderson at PWR Performance Products and Jason Sheering with Nissan Motorsport. ‘Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules, whose purpose is both ensuring on-track safety, and promoting clever problem solving,’ he said. ‘It’s not just about building a race car, the project also involves design, marketing and business skills that can all be transferable to real life.’

The iconic Fender Telecaster guitar has delighted players for more than 60 years, lauded as versatile, highly playable and with a distinctive sound. While respecting the traditional shape and features, final year industrial design student Adrian McCormack had his sights firmly set on the future when meticulously engineering two 3D-printed guitars—with a nod to the sun and surf of the Gold Coast. Since graduating, Adrian has been nominated as a finalist in the Design Institute of Australia (DIA) industrial design graduate of the year awards. This unique awards program was created by the DIA to support designers in the early stages of their career and to recognise excellence in various disciplines including Industrial Design.

Growing up, Casey Macfarlane had always been interested in the environment, but it wasn’t until she attended TSXPO in Brisbane that she realised how she could make it a career. ‘A Griffith University professor was speaking about the various forms of engineering taught at Griffith. Environmental engineering appealed to me immediately,’ she said. She also had a strong interest in Japan after studying Japanese in high school and completing a student exchange to Tokyo. Now, she’s combined her interests—she’s studying a double degree in environmental engineering and business management at Griffith and is on her way to complete a semester of study at Hiroshima University as a recipient of a 2016 New Colombo Plan scholarship.

Top 5 reasons to choose information technology at Griffith

Griffith’s School of Information and Communication Technology is one of the most highly ranked schools in Australia for teaching quality.* * Good university guide: Ratings and Rankings 2016/2017.

The majority of future jobs growth is likely to be in science, technology, engineering and maths, and IT skills are required in all industries.** Office of the Chief Scientist, Australia’s STEM Workforce report.

You’ll have the chance to put your skills into practice in our Apps Factory, or by meeting business leaders and entrepreneurs who know how to get a start-up off the ground.

Our IT degrees incorporate work-integrated learning, often off-campus, giving you the chance to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are necessary to exceed in the industry.

Our Bachelor of Computer Science, the only one of its kind in Queensland, and our Bachelor of Creative and Interactive Media, offer you the chance to stand out in the job market with a unique qualification.

Always fascinated with the world of computing and its criticalness in our modern society, Chirag knew a Bachelor of IT was for him. His first real contact with computers was when he was 12. With no computer at home, his family enrolled him in a local computer club. Having only started his senior school education at year 12 in Australia, Chirag knew Griffith was a culturally mixed university and well equipped to deal with someone with his background. While studying he’s worked part- time with Suncorp as a software developer, in an exciting team that has the responsibility of managing all digital aspects of the business.

An app developed within Griffith’s School of Information and Communication Technology is making trips to Gold Coast University Hospital less daunting for children. The Kidz@GCU Hospital app is the work of Darcelle Hinze, Chelsea McGuinness, Ashley Burns and Belinda Rex, and is now being used to familiarise children with hospital locations, sounds, some procedures and medical staff. Kidz@GCU Hospital won the Tertiary Undergraduate Student category at the 2014 Queensland iAwards and received a merit.

IT graduate, Brodie Greig, has taken his Griffith degree into the corporate world, launching the web services company worktrainweb. Brodie and fellow graduate, Jak Heymink, teamed up for their final year project, successfully delivering a custom sign language application recognised by university staff for its innovative steps in assisting school children and adults in learning sign. Through worktrainweb, Brodie and Jak are helping clients to build exciting marketing material and websites. They are still involved with the Griffith community via the industry mentoring program.

Joshua Holmes, (pictured left of photo) a final year Griffith ICT student and a co-founder of the University’s startup club, Studio 39, recently toured Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Joshua is part of the new movement of students seeking different outcomes from their university education. Rather than seeking employment or a career they are looking to establish their own startup. He was supported on his trip by a grant from the Griffith Science group. ‘The trip was ten days and we toured many of the top tech companies in the San Francisco bay area and Silicon Valley, including huge companies like Google and Facebook to smaller, more recent startups like electric skateboard manufacturer Boosted. I had a moment of realisation after seeing what was going on over there—the pace, scale and fun that everyone is having in solving problems and building great products. ‘I want to work in an environment that fosters this innovation and speed of technology and values the same things I do.’

We’re proud to be one of the top elite athlete-friendly universities in Australia.

At the Rio 2016 Olympics, Griffith was in the top 10 of world universities for medals (and number one in Australia). Science student Cameron McEvoy was one of the 21 Griffith students and graduates to compete at Rio, bringing home two bronze medals for the men’s 4 x 100 m freestyle and 4 x 100 m medley relays. ‘There are many elements that make a successful athlete, one of them is a balanced life. For me that includes my studies at Griffith, and the Griffith Sports College assists me by providing flexibility around my hectic swimming schedule,’ he said. Cameron has been named as one of Griffith’s Games Champions to promote our official partnership with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. Cameron McEvoy Science student and swimmer

‘I chose Griffith College because it fitted perfectly with my lifestyle. Professors were very creative in explaining the subject. They really got students interested in studying. The course structure is created in close connection with industry requirements and gave a sample of learning from many kinds of engineering, making it clearer for me which path I wanted to take. I still use the information I learned at Griffith College in the fourth year of my degree.’
