A big thank you to the 100+ Year 10 students who joined us this week to explore what studying Business at Griffith University could look like.

Students got hands-on during an economics and visitor economy workshop, where they used creative thinking and problem-solving skills to tackle real-world challenges. They also had the chance to test their detective skills in our financial crime activity.

One of the best parts of the day was hearing from our Student Leaders, who shared their experiences and answered questions about university life, study, and making the transition from school to uni.

If you're starting to think about your future career, a business degree can open doors to opportunities in areas such as marketing, accounting, economics, tourism, management, entrepreneurship and more.

We're excited to welcome our next group of students at the GriffithBUSINESS Ambassador Programs on 28 July in Brisbane South (Nathan) and 30 July at the Gold Coast.
