Articles

No two students are the same, which means no two Explore articles are the same. Browse our categories to help find the articles most interesting to you. We hope they can provide you with a greater understanding of what it’s like living and studying in Australia – in general and at Griffith University.

  • Career and Work – Hearing from other students is always helpful, which is especially true when it comes to work experience. Our students share their own perspective on doing internships and extracurricular activities. You’ll also find career tips and suggestions on working part-time while studying.
  • Culture – This category covers a wide range of topics. From learning more about different international student’s culture, to what to expect from the Australian culture. You’ll be sure to learn something new and might even have a laugh (Aussie slang is always an interesting topic for international students).
  • Learning English – What better way to learn English then to participate in fun activities and events. Our Griffith English Language Institute students have written articles about the experiences that have helped them develop their English skills.
