Today, Griffith University comprises five campuses: Nathan, Mount Gravatt, Logan, Gold Coast, and South Bank, with a sixth campus planned for the Brisbane CBD in 2027. The university offers over 200 degree programs to more than 50,000 students from over 130 countries, making it Australia's ninth-largest higher education provider . Griffith is renowned for its strengths in environmental science, Asian studies, criminology, and the arts, and is ranked among the top 2% of universities globally.

Under the leadership of Vice Chancellor Professor Carolyn Evans, Griffith University has emphasized social and environmental responsibility, aligning its teaching and research with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The university's commitment to innovation and community engagement is evident in its strategic initiatives and the development of its new city campus, which aims to foster real-world interactions and learning opportunities for students.
