International links

The Griffith Exchange Program provides students with access to an extensive global network of over 230 partner universities. Choosing a Griffith University degree means choosing a world of opportunity. A testament to Griffith's commitment to Internationalisation is the establishment by the Vice Chancellor of the International Experience Incentive Funds of $1million per year for Griffith students to go on exchange to our overseas partner universities. The exchange program enables students to:

• spend one semester overseas at a partner institution;
• earn credit towards their degree;
• study courses that may not be offered at Griffith;
• improve their language skills;
• increase their global employability;
• apply for one of the many scholarships and grants available.
