Another 10 subject areas were ranked globally, including Medicine for the first time, indicating Griffith’s trajectory of international recognition and reputation.
Vice Chancellor and President of Griffith University, Professor Ian O’Connor, said there were thousands of universities in the world, and to remain among the top echelons of the widely referenced rankings was a strong achievement.
“Griffith is in the top 100 in the world in five subject areas,” Professor O’Connor said.
“This underlines the university’s rapidly-rising reputation for research with real impact. The results are a credit to our academic staff and to the university as a whole.
“Nationally, the ability of some Australian universities to improve their positions says a lot for the quality that underpins Australian higher education.”
“Rankings generally have an influence on Australia’s fourth largest export industry—education—and our attractiveness to top staff, collaborators, philanthropists, industry partners and investors.”
