One of the other benefits of Griffith is that it's THE university on the Gold Coast. Yes, there is Bond, but it is private and expensive, and if you want to be part of a university environment where most of the city's student life is centered it's great. It is more difficult for mid-tier unis in bigger cities that compete with top-tier universities to establish a similar sensation of representing the city's student base.
I’m currently a second year university student in the US who is looking to study abroad. Griffith is one of the few partner universities I could go to and I found this video extremely useful as well as some of your other videos! Keep up the good work knowing you’re helping students on the other side of the world ! Best wishes from Kentucky USA
I just found out that I am going to be studying at Griffith during trimester 1 in 2024. I am a current 2nd-year student, and this video is very helpful for me to get a sense of the community that I will soon be a part of! Great thanks, from Toronto:)
The gold coast campus is heaps good I visited QUT in brisbane for a day and I feel like Griffith is a lot easy to navigate around and being on the gold coast makes it heaps more better
Thank you for this video I studied @Griffith graduated in 2005 and returned home to Fiji and have not gone back. I saw your video-WOW !! a lot has changed ...thank you. I will share it with some of my family members here in Fiji who are looking at applying for AUSAID scholarships for 2022 Vinaka:)
International students have to pay about double the amount that domestic ones do so if you are keen on it, save up and double or triple check it is ideal for you.
I study at griffith @ mt Gravatt currently but I did look into the gold Coast campus at one point. Lo and behold I'm here again because there's been talk about the mg campus shutting down or being sold off and I'm not sure wether to stay at griffith and put up with the hour+ commute or go. So thanks for reminding me why I chose to go here
I'm at Mt. Gravatt Maddy, I haven't heard of it closing. I'm currently in 2nd year doing Bachelor of Psych. I hope it stays strong, I love to the Mt. G campus.
Undergraduate from griffith gold coast... being in my field now for 15 years i feel that this uni gave me so much and i noticed i was ahead of so many people in knowledge. Did post grad at uts which was real life experience too. Glad i choose these two. I think people need to research there profession and discipiline of study to make the best choice.
hello rob, you forgot about making video about university of Wollongong, i think this uni has a quite beautiful campus than lot of other uni. from my point of view you must make a video about this uni
I love both those unis. Which campus for Griffith? I think it’s at Mt Gravatt off the top of my head? If it’s at the Gold Coast too I think that’s a better option for most young people.
Gold Coast kinda is the main campus imo. Each of the others seems smaller to me, though nice too. I’ve just filmed a review of Nathan campus - I should have that out in a few weeks.
Hey rob, thanks so much for your videos you put out, this one has really helped me! Going to study Hospitality and Business Management and was torn between UQ and Griffith but I think I am going to go for Griffith! Keep doing what you do mate it is really helpful.
Yes it’s planned but there’s no point to go there right now because of COVID. I’ve already done a little filming at UoW but will finish it off - most likely at the end of the year or early next year.
seems it still uses the traditional lecture way where it constitutes many students. Smaller classes are far effective. This is one of the things you do best, kudos Rob! Very helpful!
Great Video! Could you please consider making a video of Nathan Campus too? Regarding student reviews, services, business school facilities, etc.? Thanks!
@@ChoosingYourUni I'll be studying environmental sciences (postgrad) in february 2020 intake. How good is the Nathan campus? Also, how good are the management courses at Griffith like engineering management etc?
@@ChoosingYourUni the Nathan campus is not in a regional area. So if my masters course is based at the Nathan campus, will I be eligible for the 3-year Temporary Graduate Visa?
I seem to remember reading that basically all unis outside of Sydney and Melbourne are considered “regional”. I’m sure the full list can be found on the Immigration website via Google.
Yeah, that’s a good one. I’d love to but it’s tricky because CQ U has Soooo Many campuses. I’ve been to several and it’s a uni that’s definitely stepped up its game in recent years. Will def get to it eventually!
Thanks for this! Which do you think is better for Tourism and Hospitality Management? Curtin or Griffith? And how about taking into account the fees, accommodation, etc etc for international students?
Personally I’d go to Griffith. Curtin is a fantastic uni, one of my favourites. But Griffith Gold Coast is right next to one of the most touristy parts of Australia - the Gold Coast. I can only imagine that the opportunities for internships and practical experience would be amazing there 👍
I’m conflicted in studying at UQ or Griffith for education (primary school). I would have to travel further for UQ , but I’m willing to go with the best education program! Any recommendations?
Great video! I am studying at Swinburne and have completed an exchange in the US. Looking to transfer somewhere outside the three major cities(Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney) to study Government and International Relations / Media Communication. I am considering Griffith, Notra Dame, University of Adelaide and Canberra. Can you discuss their strengths and weaknesses?
Govt and IR are great at the ANU. Media is also good there and at UC. Griffith is a good all round choice especially since it has a great Asian focus (critical in media, IR and Govt!) Adelaide has been pretty smashed up by Covid. They’ve got an excellent new vice chancellor but he hasn’t been there long so I think it’s going to take some time for the uni to really find its feet again. Notre Dame has the equal highest student satisfaction in the country. Not sure how they do in these discipline areas but the uni certainly creates a good positive learning environment 👍
Hi Rob, thanks for the great video! This really helped me a lot to understand Griffith better! As I am planning to study psychology undergraduate prog in aus, I would like to ask which university (Griffith, Adelaide, Deakin or Queensland) do you think is good at it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
That's a good collection of unis. All of the unis you've selected are good in different ways - I'd hate to make a specific recommendation without knowing in detail what your plans are and what things you like.
Hi, thanks for the video, it was helpful. Just wondering if anyone would know what the Health Faculty is like at Griffith Uni? I'm looking to study Health Science Nutrition and Dietetics
Thanks Rob! Another informative video! Quick question, which uni do you recommend for studying pharmacy? USYD or Griffith? I have done some research and both unis ranked top in the discipline🤔
That’s a hard question to answer without knowing more about you and what your interests and preferences are. Have you seen this video? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZcuUhTYc1Jg.html Happy to give you my opinion of you can tell me a bit more of what you’re looking for?
Yes, Griffith is good for business. It has a big strength in Asian business, which drives a lot of international growth of course. Plenty of good business programs in Melbourne too, so what do you like the look of in Melbourne?
Some courses have classes at both Nathan and Gold Coast campus. I wonder how do students manage to move around the two campuses during study. If I rent a place in the middle and not planning to move in 2 years it could be a pain in the ass for my family to commute.
That's interesting. I was of the impression that you were not obliged to travel across campuses for a degree (i.e. a degree would be fully taught on a particular campus) but that you had the option of taking classes from another campus if you wanted. What degree are you looking at doing? I'd be interested to look into the detail.
Hi Rod, thank you for this amazing video. Kindly guide me, I have applied to 2 universities James Cook( cairns) and Griffith ( gold coast) for MASTERS in TOURISM. Which university will be better between these two?
Hi Rob! I‘ve decided to do an exchange semester on the Gold Coast, but I‘m still not sure if I should choose Bond University or Griffith! I‘m looking for great student life, meet new friends (international & local), have an overall great experience - academics is important as well but it‘s not my main criteria.. what would be your recommendation then & why? thanks so much!
Hi Anna, Two great universities and both have a lot to offer exchange and study abroad students. Bond is a smaller campus with excellent facilities. Class sizes are smaller, so in theory you should have better connections with other students and teachers. The flip side is that Bond has a much higher % of international students - it's about 40% international students compared with about 17% at Griffith. This means at Griffith you're more likely (depending on the subject area) to be in class with local Australian students. Griffith is more accessible by public transport, with the light rail running right from the beaches to the campus. Facilities are in better condition at Bond (not that Griffith is bad in this regard, though). Griffith will have more students on campus for more of the day. Having written all this out, I personally would lean towards Griffith unless there was a subject area at Bond that was ridiculously strong. But that's just my opinion.
Hi! Your videos are very helpful :)) but I was wondering if you knew about the nursing course in Griffith? How would it compare to ACU brisbane? Thanks 🙏
Ah! A fine question! I really like both these unis. ACU’s nursing program is one of the top ones in the country. However the on campus experience would be better at Griffith imo
Hey! I'm an International student, and am applying for a nursing degree this year. I'm thinking of either Uni of Newcastle or Griffith University. I am looking for an authentic experience here, get to know the people and the culture, most importantly, making new friends!! Which one do you think is better? (also academic-wise)
Griffith is no. 1 in Australia and no. 2 in the world for nursing. Awesome uni and experience living on the Gold Coast - right near the beach and great weather. Someone commented the other day that UoN has opened a new space on the Central Coast campus for nursing, but I’m not sure about that yet as I haven’t seen it yet. Program is ranked 26 in the world and as well above world standard, so strong too. Newcastle is regional and has fewer international students. If you go to the central coast campus it is definitely mostly local Australians!
Bro . I have read reviews stating that griffith facaulty is some sort rude and they they dont reply to mails . Do you think so. Is the teaching good over there . I wanna persue my nursing bachelors over there.
Hi mate, thanks for the message. I’ve only seen one review site about Australian unis and tbh I think a lot on there is crap. Mostly people complaining rather than saying anything constructive. For example, faculty members can get hundreds of emails a day, on top of their teaching and other responsibilities. Based on that, is it reasonable to expect they might not reply to every email? Griffith’s nursing program is excellent. One of the best in the world and the GC hospital is state of the art. I wouldn’t hesitate to study there. A very strong choice imo
Dentistry is an accredited program so it’s going to be pretty similar in most places. Griffith has a pretty recent health facility on the Gold Coast so you should find everything in good condition there!
Hello Rob. Great video. I’m an international student looking to do my masters in public health. I’m considering the following schools: Flinders, University of Southern Australia, University of Adelaide, Murdoch, Curtin and Griffith. Which of them would you say is a better choice amongst the rest with awesome job opportunities? Thank you.🙏🏾
Public health is a good discipline to study right now. There’s a lot of work everywhere. All these unis are strong in their own ways and at Masters level I believe you really need to look at the detail of what specialisations are available and how they align with your interests. I like the cities you’ve chosen: Adelaide, Gold Coast and Perth. They are each quite unique so you might want to check out the differences.
Was wondering since Griffith and QUT has the same international tuition fees for Bachelor's, which would be better for Electrical Engineering? Can you recommend?
Hi Rob, I'm an international student with offers from both QuT and Griffith, just wondering which you would recommend. I'm studying information technology
@@ChoosingYourUni I'm just wondering, Griffith gave me more exemptions than QuT and the amount I'm going to spend if I go there is probably close to 40% less than if I went QuT. Just wondering if you think QuT is that much better than Griffith to warrant me spending more?
Thanks. Aviation... that’s a good question. I’m not sure but right now I wouldn’t be doing anything in aviation... that whole industry is in the shit for at least 5 years imo
Hi Rob, thank you for the video. I’m an international student and I’m planning to study dentistry in Australia next year. Do you think that Griffith is a good choice for dentistry? Also, how are the job opportunities for Griffith Uni graduate dentists in Australia? Thank you in advance.
Griffith’s health disciplines are strong. Not sure specifically about job prospects for dentistry. You could do a search on seek.com.au to get an idea of how many job openings there are right now which might be a crude measure of future opportunity…
Hi rob, i am from indonesia. what do you think about newcastle university and griffith university?. I am going to study business commerce and it's kinda hard to choose between them. Glad to hear if you reply my question, Cheers.
Both are good unis. Griffith has an excellence in Asian business. Newcastle has very strong connections to its local community. Both are nice places - the Gold Coast is bigger than Newcastle. but Newcastle has nicer beaches and is only 2.5 hours from Sydney. There are pluses to both!
thankyou so much for this video😊it really helped..i was just planning to pursue my dentistry course from this university..please tell me is my decision ok?
I NEED HELP: If I’m interested in media (interactive and visual), games, animation, is GU the best? Or is RMIT or QUT better? (Or any others) I want to know more about the teachers, course, future career path and real truthful review! Thanks!
Hi Chan - sorry, I missed this question. I'm not very familiar with the pharmacy programs so I can't give a definite answer. I really like both of these universities in different ways though!
Do you think it would be worth it as a international student who study IT? Gold coast is definitely good place for sure but I don't really know I can get an internship program in gold coast....
There are not a lot of big IT companies on the Gold Coast. However, there are many small companies - companies where they are based there because of the good lifestyle and offer services to the Gold Coast or remote services to bigger cities. So I’d say it depends on what you’re looking to study. The uni should be able to give you an indication of what sorts of internships might be available.
Hey i am planning to do my bsc in psychology from Griffith but i also have offer letter from QUT. What do you think is better? I am leaning more towards Griffith. PS: Love your videos.
Then that’s a good plan imo Lots of these unis are very similar in many ways. What makes the biggest difference is having less friction and stress in life, so I think your thinking is good 👍
Hello Rob! I'm planning to do masters in project management in Griffith in gold coast! Is that good? Do we get jobs after completing masters? How it's going to be please give information regarding.
That sounds like a good degree at a good uni to me. Project management is highly versatile. You can go lots of directions with a degree like that, which I think is pretty important!
Hi Rob! I was just wondering. I got admission at JCU bebegu yumba campus and waiting on Griffith. I'm an international student who'll be studying Bsc. IT. Which of the two is better for my course? Which one presents more opportunities for internship and future jobs. Also, what are the chances of part time jobs if I join JCU? OR Griffith?
Hello rob! I'm from pakistan and I'm aiming for my master's of project management with major in civil engineering. Is it worth it to study this course and also what is the situation of part time jobs in gold coast.
Hi Umer, I can’t comment on your personal situation but a qualification in Project Management is very versatile and should open many doors. All of Australia is impacted by Covid-19- not so much of tonnes of cases (except in Victoria) but more in terms of businesses. If you’re completely reliant on work then maybe it’s a little risky right now. Then again, hard workers will always find something no matter how bad the economy...
I'm there but the campus is way too big, too far to walk, lol. Most of my classes aren't even in the business school. I have some classes in the multimedia rooms and some in the science department.....weird, 🤨😕🤔😁
The uni has many strengths in these areas. But what you’ve selected is very broad so you should try to be more specific if you’re looking for detailed strengths
Thank you very much, such an informative video. I’m an upcoming student at medical lab science in Griffith Gold Coast, but still concerning it’s a good choice or not. Do you think the medical lab bachelor degree at Griffith Uni is worth? Or should I apply for another uni next semester? Thank you a lot and hope to receive your answer!!!
If you're starting soon, why don't you just do the first semester and see what it's like? You can always change after that. A degree takes years and lots of the foundational content is similar across unis, so whatever you do at Griffith won't be time wasted either way. The only way _you'll_ know if it's right for you is if _you_ start the program and see how _you_ feel about it :)
@@ChoosingYourUni Thank you for your reply. As I’m an international student so I just want to make the best decision while save money for future studies. This course in GriffithUni is accredited so that’s why I chose it, but still concerning about Uni of Adelaide or Uni of Western Australia with higher ranking!
Hi! I'm also an upcoming international student this march for BS Medical lab science :) Are you doing the course online or are you travelling there and attending on campus?
Thanks, mate~ good vedio! Griffith Uni is a definitely good university. Look at the ranking. its ranking is higher than RMIT, UTAS, and other unis.~ :)
That’s a hard question to answer without knowing more about you and what your interests and preferences are. Have you seen this video? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZcuUhTYc1Jg.html
Most universities have childcare on campus. Be aware that it’s not a free service and might be “busy” - so you’ll need to look into it early to make sure you get a spot.
Griffith's filmmaking program is fantastic. Other strong universities are Swinburne and RMIT in Melbourne, Edith Cowan in Perth or the Australian Film, Television and Radio School: www.aftrs.edu.au/
Ah! Another question on clinical psych! Good job reaching out for advice - is actually call the uni departments themselves and ask them what’s special about their clinical psych programs. If they can’t tell you in 3 minutes what the highlights are then they maybe aren’t that strong!
Hey Rob, I‘m planning to do a bachelor‘s degree in Australia from next year on. Do you think that Griffith is a good choice for Marine Sciences? I was on the Gold Coast for a month last year and absolutely loved the area and the campus looks absolutely amazing... Haven‘t found many comparisons on google though
I am planning to do bachelor's of nursing as an international student My options are western sydney University , University of Wollongong and Griffith Which one do you suggest the most and do you have any other universities u suggest for nursing?
Thank you for all your hard work. I'm confused between griffith and curtin university to do my masters in suppky chain management, would be greatful if you could suggest me
@@ChoosingYourUni thank you so mhch. Really appreciate for you hard work. I really cant belive that you reply to each one of your comments, it's remarkable!
Rob are you gonna do a review of Charles Sturt? Do you reckon it's going down the drain? I got offered a place there...but might try keep trying for Newcastle
Yes, it’s on the list but I’m on the other side of Australia right now so won’t be until mid-2021. The uni has some issues right now but it is strategically important as they serve a lot of regional areas, so the Govt will likely support it. Which campus were you looking at and what discipline?
The Port campus is small. It’s a pretty place and will have far fewer students in the physio classes than the big campuses. I think that’s an advantage. I’ll be stopping in Port mid next year. Will try to visit the campus for a quick tour.
@@ChoosingYourUni thanks for feedback! No chance of getting into USyd with 99.50 last round! And I doubt Newcastle too, last round 98.05 😮 so my main option is a more manageable entry into podiatry the Ourimbah campus. Still don't know which one I'd prefer to do professionally 😕
Griffith has the top program in Australia. No.2 in the world. Great city (Gold Coast) and facilities. Lots of work options. That would be my choice. However, USQ has the advantage of being a pretty country town with friendly people and Swinburne is in Melbourne, which is also a great city. Those might be reasons to consider the others.
