At Griffith, we believe in, strive for and celebrate the Remarkable.
We are a progressive and highly respected university dedicated to learning, leadership and innovation.
The remarkable people who better our world, the remarkable experiences that transform people and communities, and the remarkable contributions that change the future forever.
We know success often comes from being an exception to the norm—challenging convention, adapting and innovating, creating bold new trends and pioneering solutions ahead of their time. At Griffith, remarkable is the norm.
Since we started teaching over 40 years ago, we’ve been deeply connected to the Asian region, socially conscious and environmentally aware, an integral part of the community and heavily industry focused. We’ve also become a comprehensive, research-intensive university, ranking in the top 2% of universities worldwide.
Our teaching and research spans six campuses in South East Queensland and all disciplines, while our network of more than 200,000 graduates extends around the world.

Our vision and mission is to transform lives and add to human knowledge and understanding in a way that creates a future that benefits all
As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2025, we remain steadfast in our aim to be a leading university of influence and impact in Australia and across the Asia–Pacific.
The world is navigating a range of emerging social and professional challenges and opportunities. As such, our proven ability to develop students who are future-capable, agile and resilient—and well prepared to succeed in disruptive and challenging work environments post-COVID-19—remains one of our greatest strengths.
Griffith University was established in 1975 to be a different type of university, committed to equity, inclusion and the success of our students. We introduced Australia’s first degrees in Modern Asian Studies and Environmental Science, and we have a long history of commitment to social justice and sustainability. Nearly five decades on, the principles upon which Griffith was founded are still relevant; everything we do, from teaching and research to community engagement, is still designed to make the world a better place—for everyone.
Our vision and mission reflect the goals expressed in our Strategic Plan 2020–2025: Creating a future for all, which outlines how we will build on our proud history to create an exciting future for the University and the communities of which we are part.
