The University describes itself as innovative and committed to multidisciplinary teaching and research and to the creation and communication of knowledge. Griffith has five campuses in three cities in the corridor from Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, to the Gold Coast, an international tourist destination. The University includes Queensland's oldest academy - the Queensland College of Art which was founded in 1881 - as well as one of Australia's newest campuses (Logan), Australia's fastest growing campus (Gold Coast) and Australia's newest medical and dental schools which were established in 2004. The Griffith community comprises students from more than 120 countries. Its academic approach is founded on sharing knowledge across traditional boundaries. This interdisciplinary framework seeks to address and solve real world problems in the 21st century.

Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff	Headcount: 1,271 FTE: 1,191
Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting professors who are members of another university. The important distinction for us is that staff counted as âresearch onlyâ should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.
