The Australian National University (ANU) is one of the world’s leading universities, recognised for the quality of its research and excellence of its teaching. ANU offers a learning experience like no other. Shaped by its culture of intensive research, the University offers a holistic learning experience that goes beyond the classroom. It gives students access to an interconnected community of scholars who are leaders in their fields and opportunities for development around Australia and the world. ANU is a relatively small university and that means students have the opportunity to work alongside and engage with world-class researchers and educators. ANU has the highest percentage of students living in residence on campus in Australia. This concentration of students creates a vibrant campus life. The campus is nestled within 145 hectares of parkland and adjoins native bushland and Lake Burley Griffin. It is located next to Canberra’s central business district. Canberra has an active social life with a growing arts scene, major sporting teams, and boutique bars, restaurants and clubs. ANU offers a breadth of choice to help students find their specialty. Programs are broadly grouped around academic disciplines. Most undergraduate and graduate coursework programs offer the flexibility to combine subjects in a way that both prepares students for their career and enables them to pursue their interests.
