Students with disabilities
As stated in the Students with Disabilities Policy, the University is committed to expanding and improving opportunities for people with disabilities. "Students with disabilities shall have access to all of the University's academic courses," according to section 6.0, "unless the Academic Committee receives appropriate expert advice during the accreditation of a particular programme that the curriculum could not be adapted to provide students with particular disabilities the opportunity to meet the educational objectives of the course."
Students with disabilities, injuries, or medical issues are provided with appropriate and reasonable support at Griffith University. Students are encouraged to contact Student Disability and Accessibility to lessen the impact of their disabilities, injuries, or medical conditions on their education. Adjustments must be made in a reasonable manner. Documentation of the precise impairment, injury, or health condition, as well as the potential functional implications of this condition in the tertiary education environment across all learning activities, is required for Student Disability and Accessibility. These activities include, but are not limited to, assessments, work-integrated learning/placement, and other course-related activities.
Overseas placements
An overseas placement allows you to immerse yourself in a foreign country, lifestyle, and people while also allowing you to practice your profession's abilities and get practical experience in a different area of the world.
More than anything else, studying abroad allows you to discover new talents and abilities, overcome new obstacles, and solve new issues. You will be confronted with situations that are completely foreign to you, and you will learn to adapt and respond appropriately.
