You'll learn about sport development, business management and delivering recreation activities in the community. This degree explores four main streams of study: sport and exercise science; business, sport management and marketing; health promotion; and sports coaching.

You'll also study the specialist field of community development through sport which is concerned with increasing participation in sport through the design of sport systems and pathways to attract, retain and nurture participants. You'll gain comprehensive knowledge of the academic and applied aspects of sport, health and fitness while developing business management skills to prepare you for a wide range of career opportunities. You'll also undertake studies in physiology, biomechanics, sport psychology, sociology, sports management, event management, fitness and sports coaching.

In this degree, you'll learn how to manage the social and spatial conditions of urban life, helping to create a more sustainable future.

With a strong focus on practical, hands-on teaching, you'll learn state-of-the-art drawing studios and work on real industry projects. You'll be taught by academics who have a strong footing in the industry and have the opportunity to network and connect with industry professionals throughout your degree.

What's more, you'll get the chance to undertake an industry placement, allowing you to put your skills into practice and make valuable industry contacts before you graduate.

In your final year you will complete an independent research project under the supervision of an academic staff member. The Honours program is a critical element for students seeking a direct pathway into research, academia and employment in many consulting and government organisations who prioritise the employment of honours graduates.

This is your chance to have an impact on the way the world works. You could have the opportunity to make your mark on major global systems and infrastructure or be at the forefront of localised urban projects. When you choose this degree, you'll be engineering from day one.

In your first year, you'll develop a strong foundation in basic science and engineering principles. You'll study a range of engineering areas, letting you decide which area interests you the most. We're strong believers in `learning by doing', so this degree has a strong practical focus. You'll learn from teachers who are passionate about engineering and the difference it makes in the world, so you'll get to experience their energy in your studies.

Industry and expert connections
In your second year you'll choose your preferred major so you can focus on the area you feel passionate about. Learning from industry kicks into another gear, and you'll participate in genuine engineering projects. You'll also hear from the very best, with guest lecturers explaining their vision and the results of significant projects. You'll have direct access to them for questions and advice as part of our smaller more personalised experience.

Entering your final year, you'll take your skills and work with one of our industry partners here or overseas, undertaking a trimester-long project through our capstone Industry Affiliates Program.

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) lets you take that next step. It is only available if you have achieved a GPA of 5 in the second and third years of your Bachelor degree and have organised your project and a supervisor.

You'll undertake a major research project under the supervision of one of our leading researchers. The degree will be assessed through coursework, research project performance, thesis and seminar. This is the opportunity to hone your skills and demonstrate your research ability under the eyes of an experienced science professional.

Industry and expert connections
Griffith has a proud history of leading the way across scientific research. As a student of the Bachelor of Science (Honours), you'll have access to leading experts from a range of respected University research centres, including the Institute of Glycomics, Griffith Institute for Drug Discovery (GRIDD), Menzies Health Institute Queensland, the Australian Rivers Institute, the Centre for Quantum Dynamics, the Environmental Futures Research Institute, the Queensland Micro and Nanotechnology Centre and the Sea Jellies Research Laboratory.

You'll complete your honours project in your chosen specialisation, putting all that you have learnt into a tangible, rewarding project.

The Master of Design (MDes) is an exploration of 21st century creative practices suited to current or emerging designers who wish to complement their existing skills with concepts, strategies, and technologies to solve complex problems in business, government and communities.

It offers students the opportunity to advance their skills and knowledge on design context and processes in multiple areas including experience design, design thinking, emerging design futures and business and professional practice. These courses are complimented by a range of practical/making courses in the areas of visual communication, prototyping, still/moving image and interactive design. The program gives a broad range of disciplines (design and non-design) the opportunity to upskill and build upon contemporary practices relevant to all designers and equip them with the knowledge base to pursue a major design research project of their choice.

Students will utilise both collaborative and individual working contexts to expand their knowledge of contemporary design processes at professional industry level. They will gain research and critical thinking skills which will be deployed in a major design project in the second year of the program. Graduates will be prepared for practice-led work and/or design strategy and leadership in macro, micro and freelance scenarios.

This degree, designed for high-achieving secondary school leavers, provides the opportunity for you to progress directly into our Doctor of Medicine (5099)*.

In your first year, you will be introduced to the basic sciences underpinning medical science - anatomy, chemistry, biochemistry, genes and disease, law and ethics, microbiology, physiology, and epidemiology. You will also undertake a course in "interpersonal skills" which provides you with knowledge and skills in communication and interaction with patients.

In second year, you will study these areas in greater depth and take medically focused courses in immunology, infectious disease, pharmacology, metabolism, structural biochemistry, and molecular genetics, as well as undertaking a capstone course (Integrated Medical Sciences) which integrates and applies the knowledge of basic sciences learned in your first and second years to solving clinical problems.

In this degree, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the tourism sector, underscored by sustainability principles. You will develop core business skills in areas such as financial management, leadership, management, marketing and strategic management, and enhance these with an understanding of how to manage employment relations in a culturally diverse context.

Thanks to Griffith's close working relationship with the major hotel chains in South East Queensland and tourism operators, you will have the chance to gain knowledge from guest speakers and experience via a wide range of innovative work-integrated learning activities.

You will learn industry-standard systems and graduate with the skills and knowledge employers want, and be fully aware of the culture, service and competitive aspects of international tourism and hotel corporations.
