Past, present, brighter future In 2025, Griffith University celebrates 50 years of delivering a transformative education to students from around the world.

Half a century on from our origin as a single campus of 451 students, much looks different about our university.

But despite the new campuses, new buildings and new ideas we’ve developed over the years, our defining, progressive spirit remains.

We know what Griffith looks like now isn’t what we’ll look like in five, 10 or even another 50 years’ time, because we’ve been evolving since the very start. And all these years, our students, staff, partners and communities have been changing and growing right alongside us.

That’s why it’s important for us to celebrate just how far we’ve come these past five decades—to honour all that Griffith is, was and is yet to be.

Throughout our expansion across South East Queensland to our new chapter in Brisbane’s heart and beyond, we’ve meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people over the years. But one thing remains our proudest constant: we’ll always be a university fundamentally committed to creating a brighter future for all.

“The Business Lab would probably be one of the things I like best. It has helped me understand how the real business world works—I get to learn a lot of things that I don’t think I could get anywhere else. Which is good because when I graduate from Griffith, I plan to go back to Thailand, so that I can help my family business.”

Eddie (Thailand) Bachelor of Business

WHERE TO LIVE Whether you would like to live on campus or off campus, there are several options you can explore to find housing to suit your needs. Options include homestay, which allows you to experience life with a local family while you study.

Temporary and short-stay accommodation

Homestay accommodation

If you are intending to organise long-term off-campus accommodation once you arrive in Queensland, it is important that you also find temporary accommodation for your first few days or weeks in the state. This will give you time to inspect your long-term off-campus accommodation before you move in. There are short-term accommodation options located near each of our campuses that are easily accessible by public transport.

Homestay accommodation gives you the opportunity to live with an Australian family while you study. It is a great way to develop your English language skills and experience life in Australia, and offers catered and self-catered options. Homestay is available to students at all Griffith campuses. Some homestay providers offer independent living options such as a granny flat.

Off campus Share house In Australia, share housing—where you share a house or apartment with a number of other students—is the most common form of off-campus accommodation.

When looking for suitable off-campus accommodation, you will need to consider: • the cost of rent (usually advertised as a weekly amount) • if utilities are included in your rent (electricity, water, gas) • if internet is included in your rent • if the accommodation is furnished • how close the accommodation is to your campus • access to public transport.

Off-campus student accommodation There are a number of purpose-built student accommodation providers. You should review their offerings in relation to your needs and contact them directly for more information.

Brisbane: Genesis 1; Scape; Student One; UniLodge Park Central; Uniresort; Iglu.

Gold Coast: University Village; Metro on Central; University Square.

Find out more at:

griffith.edu.au/where-to-live

Additional resources You can find additional resources for accommodation options on the Gold Coast on the Study Gold Coast website at studygoldcoast.org.au/live/student-accommodation/

On campus Griffith offers self-catered accommodation at Brisbane South (Nathan) campus and partners with Campus Living Villages to provide self-catered, on-campus accommodation in the Griffith University Village on the Gold Coast campus.

Living on campus is a fantastic way to meet new people, find out about new cultures and develop independence.

On-campus accommodation is fully furnished and provides access to cooking facilities, laundry facilities, common rooms and internet, as well as offering a vibrant social life.

Airport pickup International students commencing at Griffith University can apply for a free airport pickup, which takes you from the airport directly to your pre-arranged accommodation. The service is free for eligible new international students arriving at the Brisbane or Gold Coast airports. griffith.edu.au/airport-reception

COMING SOON! New accommodation in 2026 Our Gold Coast campus is set to boast a new student accommodation tower in the Griffith University Village.

It is forecast for completion in 2026, with 459 new beds to be available.

Cost of living There are many different costs involved in international study and your cost of living in Australia will vary depending on your lifestyle and personal requirements.

* As at February 2025

Calculating your total cost of study Your total cost of studying in Australia will include: • tuition fees • visa application fees • Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) • flights • cost of living • other personal and study-related expenses.

Tuition fees Tuition fees are reviewed annually, and international students should expect an increase in fees each year.

Detailed information on the fees relevant for your degree, including the fees applicable in your commencing trimester, is available at degrees.griffith.edu.au

Jeffrey (USA) Master of Business

“Griffith English Language Institute helped me achieve my dream by providing a pathway program to Griffith University. I can’t recommend GELI enough to international students looking to improve their English. The teachers were so amazing, I really felt like I could ask them anything.

“ At Griffith, I felt really seen by my tutors—they saw a strength in me and a power for storytelling and gave me opportunities and challenges to step into.”

Landing the lead role of Eliza in the multi-award-winning musical Hamilton (2024, Sydney Lyric Theatre) was nothing short of a dream come true for musical theatre alumnus Vidya Makan.

“I feel like it’s the peak of my career … it’s definitely a really, really special moment in time for me,” she said.

Vidya’s love for music started early, with her parents often taking her to see musicals. She soon became an avid pianist and cellist and found her true passion in her high school production of My Fair Lady.

“Studying musical theatre at Griffith helped me see my own potential and really set me up to work in this industry,” she says.

Ms Makan also recently had her composer/lyricist debut, writing a show called The Lucky Country—a musical that delves deep into the themes of identity and belonging, exploring what it means to be Australian.
