New in 2017
We’re introducing a wide range
of changes in 2017 to meet the
changing needs of students.
With these changes, you can balance your lifestyle with your learning style,
put what you learn in the classroom into practice, and enjoy the best education
experience possible.
Balance work with study
With our trimester model, you’re in
control of how you study. You can
choose to study fewer subjects each
trimester, giving you more time for work
and other commitments.
Fast-track your degree
Some degrees offer a fast-track option,
allowing you to complete your degree in
as little as two years and get a head start
on your career.
More industry placements
than ever before
At Griffith, you don’t just learn in the
classroom. You’ll have the chance to
include industry experiences, including
placements, internships and projects for
real clients, from early in your degree.
Griffith is also an Official Partner of the
Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games,
which will give you the opportunity to be
involved in the build up to and delivery of
the biggest event in Australia this decade.
See page 7 for more information on our
industry connections.
New double degrees
We’re introducing a range of new double
degrees that are specially designed
industry-related combinations of study
areas that will help you stand out in the
job market. See pages 63–65 for an
overview of our double degrees.
Study online, on-campus or
a combination of both
At Griffith, many of our degrees have
online components. This gives you the
chance to study online, on-campus, or a
combination that suits your needs.
Introducing trimesters
From 2017, we’ll be teaching across three trimesters, rather than two semesters,
which gives you the flexibility to pace your study to suit your needs. You’ll have
more opportunities throughout the year to start study—for example, you can
start our business, commerce, international business, information technology,
psychological science and counselling degrees in February, July, or October—so
if you want to take a break from study after school, you can still start university
in 2017. The third trimester is optional, so you can still take a longer break at the
end of the year. Or, you can spread your study across three trimesters, which can
give you more time for work and other commitments.

‘Aside from all the things
I learned about law and
international business, my
education at Griffith also
taught me how to solve
problems and where to
look for the information
to solve them well.’
Jodie Fox is co-founder and Chief
Creative Officer of Shoes of Prey, a
multimillion dollar global business that
allows customers to design their own
shoes. She is also a Griffith Law School
and international business graduate.
‘We started Shoes of Prey as a website
in October 2009, and we were the first
people to do this globally,’ Jodie said.
Shoes of Prey can now also be found in
stores across Australia and the US.
Jodie helps drive the company’s strategic
direction, and plays a leading role in product
design and development, as well as human
resources and marketing. She says her
business and law degrees from Griffith
equipped her with the vital skills she
needs in a complex business environment.
Jodie grew up in country New South
Wales and was the first person in her
family to go to university.
‘I chose Griffith University because
it was the only university in Australia
at that time offering a degree in law
and international business. It had a
global focus and that was exactly what
I wanted. So I packed up my bags in
Lismore and went north to start an
extraordinary five years at Griffith.
‘My time at Griffith University was a lot
of fun and some of the dearest people
in my life now came from then. The Law
Society was also a big part of my life at
Griffith and it was a great way to get an
inside view on what it was going to be
like when we graduated.’
Jodie Fox – Law and international
business graduate

pair. Continuing his passion to support
athletes, Duncan was a mentor at the
2012 London Olympics.
The GSC enables student athletes to
continue playing sport at optimum
levels while they’re studying. It provides
them with advice and guidance on
academic planning and helps them
negotiate flexibility with assessment,
classes and study loads to meet
academic requirements.
In 2015, over 350 student athletes, across
more than 40 sports, received valuable
assistance from the GSC.
The GSC was also extremely proud to
assist over 60 students in representing
Australia in their chosen sport during 2015.

‘My first experience with Griffith was one
of my highlights. I was acknowledged
by my lecturers and my tutors and they
made a really big effort in my education.’
Griffith civil engineering graduate Sarah
Marsanich is a geotechnical engineer at
AECOM, a global provider of technical
and management support services.
‘Geotechnical engineering is a varied and a
specialised stream, of the civil engineering
degree,’ Sarah said. ‘It basically deals
with issues that are in the ground, so
for example, foundations for buildings,
foundations for bridges, as well as bulk
earth works such as roadways. I’ve been
involved in a variety of projects such as
flood reconstruction work across South
East Queensland all the way through to
mining remediation in Canada.’
At the moment Sarah is working on
a tunnelling project for Saudi Arabia,
so a typical day could involve a
teleconference with people in Saudi
Arabia, India, Hong Kong, or America.
In her other projects, Sarah conducts
onsite inspections, reviews contractors
claims and helps solve problems during
construction to ensure projects are
delivered successfully.
Sarah’s time at Griffith started when she
transferred during her first year of university
from Sydney up to the Gold Coast.

Your first year of study is a foundation
year. You’ll explore the core skills and
concepts relating to your chosen study
area. This will give you a chance to try

great time to get to know the students
you'll be studying alongside for most of
your degree.
At Griffith, you’ll learn in and out of the classroom,
with teaching methods tailored to suit the needs
of each degree. Here’s an overview of how your
Griffith degree might be structured.
Specialisation
2nd year onwards
From second year onwards you’ll focus
on your chosen specialisation or major.
You’ll also get the chance to put what
you learn in the classroom into practice.
Depending on your degree, you might
learn through work placements, overseas
field trips, industry projects for real
clients, or laboratory studies in our
state-of-the-art facilities.
Capstone
Final year (3rd or 4th year)
In your final year, you’ll continue to
advance your knowledge and skills in
your area of specialisation.

An Army Blackhawk helicopter landing
on his high school oval was all it took for
Phil Carpenter to know what he wanted to
do with his life. Today, the Griffith aviation
graduate can’t go a day without feeling the
rush of being in the air and taking control of
the helicopter. Phil, who now calls Canada
his home, said he would recommend the
life of a pilot to anyone who is up for a
challenge. ‘We get to see parts of the
world that most people never experience,’
he said. ‘Most of the people we work with
are of the same mindset and there are
definitely a few characters in this industry.’

Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Government and International Relations
student Amarina Smith is confident that an in-depth and up-close
understanding of international relations will help her shape a career
supporting Indigenous people. A prestigious New Colombo Plan Scholarship
has brought Amarina the chance to complement her Griffith experience
studying and living in Hong Kong. ‘Hong Kong has a history of issues with
ethnic minorities,’ said Amarina. ‘Getting to study there will give me a
knowledge and understanding of how other countries have approached
these issues and I can bring that back to Australia to help change the living
circumstances and rights of Indigenous people.’
Amarina Smith – Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Government

‘As the world becomes more connected
international law is going to become
increasingly important on a global scale.
I’m confident my combination of degrees
will help progress my career on this front.’
