Course outline

Solve environmental crises, advance medical research or drive positive change. Study science at Griffith and turn your curiosity into a career, with the hands-on experience, support and flexibility to make your degree your own. You’ll learn to think critically, solve complex problems and make discoveries that shape the way we live. With a wide choice of majors and electives, you can explore multiple disciplines or focus deeply on one area—from understanding the building blocks of life and protecting ecosystems, to exploring the universe or developing new technologies—with the freedom to switch or combine majors as your interests evolve. Study science where nature is your classroom: our campuses are living laboratories, offering direct access to bushland, waterways and marine ecosystems, with sustainability embedded throughout your studies. Through strong industry and research connections, you’ll have opportunities to build professional experience through placements, internships and innovative research projects. By the time you graduate, you’ll have the knowledge, networks and job-ready skills employers value—and the confidence to apply them. Learn alongside leading researchers while contributing to real scientific projects that make a difference. From advancing medical breakthroughs and tackling infectious disease, to developing quantum technologies and addressing global environmental challenges, you’ll gain experience solving problems that matter—supported by strong industry and research partnerships.
