Gold Coast a great place to Study

The Gold Coast is a fabulous place to study - with the weather, beach and green space easily accessible.

We are lucky enough to have 2 major universities here Griffith University and Bond University.

Having taught IT subjects at Griffith University since 2000 one aspect that makes the campus vibrant is the vast numbers of foreign students in classes.

Inspiration can come from many sources with the Gold Coast having plenty of trade and vocational courses on offer.
