Student Stories: The Experience of a Lifetime at Griffith University
Australia has plenty to offer Canadians looking for an adventure and a degree at a prestigious university.
Sarah moved from beautiful British Columbia, Canada to Gold Coast, Australia in 2022 to study a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Griffith University.
Here’s what she had to say about her experience of studying in paradise!
Why did you choose Griffith University?
“Aside from studying and learning new things, connecting with others, whether that be teachers, classmates, or other professionals at my university, is pivotal to my study journey. University is not just about learning, but it’s also about investing in the lives of those around you and leaving a beneficial ‘footprint’ wherever you go.”
What’s the quality of teaching and support like at Griffith University?
“The teachers I have come across at Griffith are friendly, down to earth, and very dedicated to developing courses that equip students with applied knowledge and transferrable skills.
“I’m incredibly grateful that Griffith personally believed in and supported me before my arrival in Australia, and has since consistently supported my growth as a student and person in different ways.”
Tell us a bit about your psychology courses. How are they structured and what information are you learning?
“I greatly enjoy my psychology courses, not just because they are heavily informative, but because they all cohesively connect to strengthen common concepts and offer diverse perspectives on certain theories. It is evident that teachers invest countless hours into their courses, evidenced through the fact that I feel I can connect concepts I studied to real world contexts.”
You received the Griffith Remarkable Scholarship. How has that helped you achieve your goals?
“Being a recipient of the Griffith Remarkable Scholarship made my studies in Australia possible. I am able to receive a fast-tracked education for the same price as domestic tuition fees back in Canada. With this scholarship, I feel honored for my high achievements and supported to continue pursuing excellence.”
