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.”

“One of the strategies we use in class to provide real-world experience is business simulation. Students work on real cases, for example, a Mt Everest climb, whereby they work in teams to create a strategy and present a plan to successfully climb the mountain as efficiently and effectively as possible. This develops strategy and budgeting skills as part of their studies.”
