Research and postgraduate study

Whether you're beginning your research study or continuing at a higher level, our degrees provide a unique opportunity to follow a specific interest in a particular research area.

    Graduate Certificates provide graduates with a solid understanding of their chosen field. They provide a comprehensive foundation for future postgraduate study.

These specialist degrees combine coursework with professional and/or artistic practice.

The PhD is Griffith’s premier research training degree. It is awarded for a thesis (or a series of published papers), drafted under supervision, which makes an original, significant, and extensive contribution to knowledge and understanding in your field of study.
