Griffith University Campuses

Each campus offers a very diverse population of academically independent students. The campuses themselves each offer a very unique experience. The distances between Brisbane and Gold Coast make studying in both of these cities impossible. Students should plan to select only one campus to study on, though the Nathan and Mt. Gravatt campuses are across the road from each other so students could attend both if they'd like.

Gold Coast Campus

The Gold Coast campus is dynamic and modern, and spread over 65 acres of native bushland less than an hour from Brisbane. More than 18,000 students study arts and language, business, communication, computing and information technology, design studies, education, environmental and applied science, engineering, exercise science, health science, law, nursing, psychology, tourism and hotel management, and design.

Mt. Gravatt Campus in Brisbane

The Mt. Gravatt campus is at the top of a hill with beautiful views. It’s less than 15 minutes by bus from the city center of Brisbane and "across the road" from the Nathan campus. A specialty campus, Mt Gravatt offers psychology, teacher education, and criminology and criminal justice.

Nathan Campus in Brisbane

The Nathan campus—the original Griffith University site—is set on 430 acres of bushland in the Toohey Forest complete with lizards and naughty kookaburras. It offers a new campus center and bookstore. It is a 15 to 20 minute drive from downtown Brisbane. The Nathan campus is a comprehensive campus and offers arts and languages, business, communication, computing and information technology, environmental and applied science, engineering, law, and tourism and hotel management.

South Bank Campus in Brisbane

At the southern end of the South Bank Parklands, across the river from the Brisbane city center, is Griffith University’s Queensland College of Art. Located in the cultural heart of the city, it’s a short walk to the Brisbane River and you can access the campus easily by public transport. More than 1,400 students study at this campus.
