STEAM Power and the Forensic Advantage
Griffith University is positioning itself at the forefront of “high-priority” areas, specifically focusing on
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and wellbeing. Based in South
East Queensland, Griffith offers a unique set of degrees, including the first accredited forensic
science and environmental science programs in Australia.
Flexible and Industry-Relevant
Griffith’s “Flexible Study” model allows students to choose their pathway once they have entered their degree, ensuring that their education can adapt to their evolving interests. This is backed by “powerful partnerships” with schools and industry, where preservice teachers, for example, undertake professional experience every single year.
Unique Queensland Offerings
The university holds a distinct competitive edge in the state; its environmental science degrees are the only ones in Queensland with specific five-star ratings for forensic expertise. This suggests that for students in niche sciences, Griffith is the premier destination.
Takeaway
Is “mixing and matching” your education the only way to stay relevant in a STEAM-driven economy?
