Pathway to success

                 Mitchell Boland was grateful for the pathway option at Griffith
                 College for his dream degree in the Bachelor of Psychology.

                 “Griffith College offered me a pathway to study the Bachelor
                 of Psychology when my grades from Year 12 weren’t high
                 enough for direct entry. I love the fact that I am already
                 studying on campus because it means the transition into
                 the university once I graduate from my diploma will
                 be easy.”

On the path to an
                  international career
                 Ramona Petrilla is currently studying the Diploma of Hotel
                 Management at Griffith College. Upon graduation she hopes to
                 move to the Gold Coast to continue her hospitality studies in the
                 Bachelor of International Tourism and Hotel Management. ‘With
                 this degree I hope to become a hotel manager on the Gold
                 Coast, and maybe work overseas in other hotels as well.’

                 ‘I decided to study at Griffith College because I felt that
                 it would offer a great foundation for my education.
                 I am also using the experience I am gaining in
                 studying my diploma to help direct my choice of
                 bachelor degree. Studying at Griffith College has
                 given me a glimpse of university life and has
                 helped to prepare me for my undergraduate
                 studies.’

“I chose Griffith College as a pathway
to my dream career in Engineering. I
did not study for an OP at high school,
so Griffith College has enabled me
achieve my goals when I may not have
otherwise been able to.”

     “I had heard from friends that Griffith College
     was a great introduction to university life and my
     experiences have certainly lived up to expectations.
     The smaller class sizes are more personalised and it
     is a great environment to learn in. I have had fantastic
     relationships and support from both my teachers and
     peers at the College and these people have all helped
     me achieve my goals and full potential.”
