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 Brisbane South (Nathan) and Brisbane South (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, Griffith’s largest and most populous campus, is dynamic and modern, and spreads 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.
Brisbane South (Mt. Gravatt) campus in Brisbane
The Brisbane South (Mt. Gravatt) campus is located near Toohey Forest with stunning views of Brisbane city. It’s less than 15 minutes by bus from the city center of Brisbane and "across the road" from the Brisbane South (Nathan) campus. A specialty campus, Brisbane South (Mt Gravatt) offers focused fields in psychology, teacher education, and criminology and criminal justice.
Brisbane South (Nathan) campus in Brisbane
The Brisbane South (Nathan) campus—the original Griffith University site better known as Griffith’s Foundation campus—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.
