英文介绍

After first opening its doors, Griffith soon became famous for its modern environmental science, Asian studies and international business courses. Griffith now boasts arts, business, science and law schools and will be opening a medicine and dentistry school in 2005.

The university‘s motto is “get smarter”, and was listed second in Queensland (after the University of Queensland) in terms of prestige by the Good Universities Guide. Recent Griffith promotions have included such famous names as Kim Phuc, Rubin Hurricane Carter, Ray Charles, Desmond Tutu and Bob Geldof who promoted centres for photojournalism, assisting the wrongly accused, educating blind children and promoting responsible ecological practices, respectively.

On 1 March 2004, like nearly all other Australian universities, the university’s administration agreed to raise the tuition fees (except for nursing and education courses) by 25% and accept full-fee-paying domestic students, in line with Federal Government tertiary education reforms. Opponents of the fee-hikes suggested that Griffith University could instead save money on its advertising campaigns.

Griffith University is a member of Innovative Research Universities Australia (IRU Australia).
