Testimonials

Orla Joyce
I really enjoyed my time at Griffith. Although most part of it was remote over the last 2 years. It was the panic decision it turned out to be the best experience. The radio documentary was one thing that stood out, and now that’s kind of what I want to do for a future career. I really loved that module.
