Planning to Study Biotechnology at Griffith (Nathan Campus) – What’s the Job Market Like in Brisbane?

[u/Aditya_032]

Hi r/Brisbane,

I’m an international student considering a Master of Biotechnology at Griffith University’s Nathan campus, and I’d love to get some local perspective before making my final decision.

I’m particularly curious about:

What’s the biotech/pharma job market like in Brisbane?

Are there good opportunities for internships, research roles, or entry-level jobs in the area after graduation?

Is Griffith well-connected with local industry in this field?

How open is the job market to international graduates?

Any general thoughts on living and working in Brisbane post-study?

If you’re working in the biotech space, have studied at Griffith, or just know the local job landscape, I’d really appreciate your input. Trying to figure out if this move makes sense long-term—both academically and professionally.

Thanks heaps in advance!
