Choosing where you will go to study after you have finished school is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make. These past two years have been some of the most tumultuous for students across the world.
Here at ANU, we have been doing our best to support our international students to continue with their studies. We’ve been working hard to engage and connect with them, to make sure they felt part of our community. Most have stuck with us through these tough times, demonstrating the quality of our education, student experience and teaching – both online and on campus.
I am optimistic that 2022 will be the beginning of our new ‘normal’. With Australian borders reopening in December 2021, we will be able to welcome you to our wonderful and vibrant campus community from the start of the academic year.
Applying to and studying at ANU is your opportunity to step outside your comfort zone. You will meet new people from all walks of life, learn new ideas and immerse yourself in a campus experience like no other.
The 2022 international guide will help you decide which programs interest you and where your passions may lie. I chose ANU not only because it has one of the top astronomy departments in the world, but because it has a reputation as one of the best universities at which to study and work. It was one of the best decisions of my life.
M E S S A G E F R O M T H E V I C E - C H A N C E L L O R
We have created an environment that allows great minds to reach their potential. We do this through excellence in teaching and by offering collaborative opportunities for growth. We will encourage you to develop the confidence to explore and challenge new ideas.
When you come to ANU, you will discover what sets us apart is our focus on a truly distinct student experience. You’ll learn from the world’s best scholars and teachers who are experts in their chosen field. You’ll join our diverse student community who make up some of the brightest and engaged people from across Australia, our region and around the world. The people you will meet will be amazing and you’ll make lifelong friends.
A degree from ANU will set you up for life and you’ll join our global alumni community, which is made up of world leaders, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
If you want to change the world, shape the future or make a real difference, ANU will help you get there.
Our Chancellor’s International Scholarships can help students like you with tuition fees and ensure finances are not a barrier to studying at ANU. You don’t have to apply separately for this scholarship – if you’re eligible, we will automatically consider you for it when you apply to ANU.
I am looking forward to welcoming you here to the ANU campus as you take the next steps on your very exciting journey.

Young, vibrant and safe, Canberra is one of Australia's best kept secrets! Nestled between mountains and coast, the capital is rich in fresh air, culture and fun and ranks among the top 25 Best Student Cities in the world.3
Culture capital Canberra is filled to the brim with cultural institutions, so if you are interested in history or passionate about the arts, there is plenty here for you – think of the National Gallery of Australia and of its important national, Indigenous and international masterpieces or the National Museum of Australia and the Australian War Memorial. All these places can take you on a journey through Australian and world history and culture and inspire you to reflect on your place in the world.
Fabulous food The city’s thriving coffee culture and award-winning restaurants will impress you. From minimalist Scandi-style places like Rye or Gather Café to the must-visit Lonsdale Street Roasters and fine dining restaurants, you’ll find Canberra’s a place for foodies, whatever your budget.
Students make up a quarter of the city’s population, so you will find plenty of festivals, bars and music venues to go to as well. Check out BentSpoke, Capital Brewing Co, Hopscotch and Visit Canberra.
For game fans, Reload Bar & Games is a favourite. Then there’s Badger and Co on campus, the number one gathering place for ANU students. Affordable and vibrant, it’s the regular Friday- night watering hole.
When you're craving live music, highlights include the unique and boho Smith’s Alternative and a range of small and large venues like jazz speakeasy Molly’s Bar and Stage 88 in Commonwealth Park.
Natural wonders With four distinct seasons and nature in abundance, Canberra is the perfect place for adventure seekers year-round. You can ride a bike or paddle a kayak around Lake Burley Griffin or hike through the sprawling Namadgi National Park and Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.
For a dose of studying or relaxation with music or a movie, you can wander over with friends to the Australian National Botanic Gardens, which is next door to the ANU campus, or head to the annual Noodle Market and National Multicultural Festival in the city or to Floriade in Commonwealth Park.
If you don’t have a car, Canberra is easy to get around. As well as trams and buses, you can hire and hop on an e-scooter or bike. The average travelling time by car is around 15 minutes.
Work while you study Australia's most educated city has higher than average incomes and low unemployment rates. This means there will be plenty of jobs available on and off campus, so you can earn the money you'll need to pay your way.
Easy commuting The capital city's great roads, convenient light rail and bus routes mean you won’t ever be far away from campus or the CBD. Choose to live in student accommodation on campus, and everything you'll need, including your classes, will be a short walk or bike ride away.

Additional post-study work rights Choosing to study in Canberra means you'll be able to work in Australia for three years after graduation – one year longer than students at the universities of Sydney or Melbourne.

Mini-breaks galore Canberra is a couple of hours from the coast and the mountains – so close that you can easily get away for a day or weekend to wind down. If you don’t drive, you can hop on an interstate bus and head down the scenic Clyde Mountain to the beautiful uncrowded beaches, rivers, state parks and historic towns of south-eastern NSW.
The capital region also boasts sailing, waterskiing, swimming holes and fabulous fishing spots. If you prefer to stay out of the weather, you might prefer go-karting, indoor rock climbing or skiing at the Vertikal Indoor Snow Sports Centre.
In winter, you can head to Snowy Mountains’ alpine ski resorts for the day or week to polish your skiing or snowboarding skills. If getting cold and wet is not your style, how about renting out a lodge with your friends and playing cards while toasting marshmallows in front of a fire?
Discover Canberra for yourself.
Match the subjects you have enjoyed studying at school with some ANU degree programs. You won't be limited to these, though. For more information about our degrees, see page 8.

Kriti Mahajan Flexible double degree: Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics Before I came to ANU, I didn’t know how contagious passion could be. All of my professors, lecturers and tutors bring invaluable real-world experience to my classes and the way they discuss concepts always makes me feel like I could also contribute to these fields.
I love studying at ANU. From the lifelike assignments and International Relations Society embassy visits to building ‘hotels’ for native bees with the Environment Collective, and being a member of the Dining Club (I’m a foodie!), being at ANU is more than just studying for me.
ANU cultivates unique international communities. This year, I am looking forward to developing academically while broadening my horizons with a student exchange during my summer and winter vacations.

Delve into your interests while developing the systematic research skills needed for problem-solving, discovery and innovation—skills that employers demand.
U N D E R G R A D U A T E R E S E A R C H D E G R E E S
Undergraduate Research Degrees are challenging study programs that give you opportunities for intensive one-on-one guidance from world-leading academics, exclusive placements in research organisations, travel and teamwork.
> You will have the same full-time workload as a student studying a single undergraduate degree.
> You will graduate with skills that are in global demand across government, non-government and not-for-profit, business, consultancy and academic sectors.
Skills to get you ahead The employment landscape is always changing, especially as technology becomes increasingly sophisticated and prevalent in the workplace.
Traditional jobs are disappearing or changing, while new jobs are emerging in response to contemporary needs.
By choosing to undertake an Undergraduate Research Degree you will develop timeless and highly transferable skills that work across disciplines. In particular, you will develop high- order problem-solving skills that employers are demanding the world over.
These skills will let you work in and across any industry which means that when you graduate, you will be uniquely placed to direct the course of your career.
Lachlan Arthur Doctor of Medicine and Surgery 2021 Rhodes Scholar* When I first came to ANU, I had no idea about the opportunities that would be available to me. I graduated with my first degree, the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) – Science, in 2018 after completing my honours year with the Hannan Group in the Department of Cancer Biology and Therapeutics at John Curtin School of Medical Research. Now, I’m in my second year of the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery.
I came to ANU because I believed I’d get the best preparation for my dream career as a clinician- researcher, including opportunities to study abroad at world-class institutions.
I was lucky enough to go on a student exchange through ANU twice during my undergraduate degree. Both trips have been once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that have allowed me to meet incredible people, see amazing sites and gain valuable experience that will propel me towards my dream career.
I completed the five-week International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU) summer program at the University of Copenhagen under the supervision of Professor Rudi Westendorp, a world leader in ageing research. While I was in Copenhagen, I also worked alongside students from Oxford, Cambridge, Peking and Tokyo universities, making connections that will last throughout my academic career.
In Switzerland at ETH Zurich, known for its cutting- edge science and technology research, I worked in four different labs over five months – a whirlwind experience – studying diseases ranging from cancer to Hepatitis C. I also got to study protein crystals using one of the three free-electron lasers in the world.
*Lachlan has been named a 2021 Rhodes Scholar and is studying
international health and surgical sciences at Oxford University, England.
Bachelor of Advanced Computing (Research and Development) (Honours) A unique, interdisciplinary degree that will prepare you to be a future leader in the information and communications technology revolution.
You will learn advanced computing techniques and have the opportunity to complete a unique major, while developing exceptional professional skills in areas of entrepreneurship and management.
Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development) (Honours) For high-achieving students interested in becoming innovators and future leaders in engineering.
This degree program combines the fundamental engineering courses with the opportunity to be immersed in research groups covering mechatronics, solar energy, materials and manufacturing.
When you graduate, you will be equipped to solve some of the world’s greatest challenges.
Bachelor of Finance, Economics and Statistics (Honours) An elite program that integrates the three disciplines so you can develop a deep understanding of these fields.
You will be guided by a mentor throughout your studies, and when you graduate you will be recognised for your exceptional aptitude for quantitative financial analysis, conceptual thinking about claims on resources using statistics, problem-solving combining economic intuition and mathematical techniques.
Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) (PhB) degrees Students will specialise in:
> Science
> Humanities and Social Sciences
Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) (PhB)/Bachelor of Science (Honours) (NUS) The PhB(Hons)/BSc(Hons) can be taken in three majors (Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics) and is offered as a joint single degree program by the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Colleges of Science at ANU. This highly selective program provides a challenging course of study for students who have a strong interest in and aptitude for graduate research work.
The PhB is an ideal path to take if you are aiming for a career in research or thinking of joining the workforce directly.
Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours) A flexible program that you can tailor according to the scientific disciplines that interest you while working in a community of world-leading academics.
You will be exposed to advanced concepts and research possibilities leading to a broad range of careers when you graduate.
Choose the undergraduate research degree that inspires and challenges you.
E X P L O R E Y O U R O P T I O N S
Plan your degree You can tailor your studies to suit your interests or careers goals through your majors, minors and specialisations. You can also explore in-depth programs and research options with Honours degrees.
What’s a major?
A major is an area within a program that allows in-depth study in a particular field. A major usually consists of a set number of related courses. Majors at ANU require 48 units of study. Typically, each course is worth six units.
Then, what’s a minor?
As the name suggests, a minor has fewer requirements to fulfil than a major, in terms of points and compulsory courses. Minors at ANU require 24 units of study – so typically four courses.
And a specialisation?
Similar to a minor, a specialisation is an area of study with its own courses that are allowed to be taken in conjunction with a specific related major.
> For more information on majors, minors and specialisations go to programsandcourses.anu.edu.au
Honours Programs
In Honours programs, students usually undertake higher level coursework and carry out an independent research project under the guidance of a specialist academic supervisor. Each ANU College has different Honours programs.
Studying Honours can:
> provide an opportunity for more in-depth study of your chosen subject and refinement of your expertise in the field;
> enhance your research techniques and help you develop the skills to undertake a substantial research project;
> offer a pathway for students interested in going on to a PhD and an academic career;
> provide a competitive edge in the job market and be an aid to faster career progression.
Nu Nguyen Vietnam Bachelor of International Secu rity Studies
"I’m from Vietnam. I chose ANU because it’s one of the top universities in the world, on par with many top British and American universities. During my time in the Bachelor of International Security Studies, I’ve had my ups and downs, challenges and rewards. Every class is robust and involves detailed discussion with rigorous research on topics. Every essay is the fruit of hard work and long hours of labour.
I’ve taken a minor in Historical International Security because I think they are essential for an international student like myself to become familiar with Western cultures and their progress of civilisation.
Without the study of history, it would be challenging to make sense of what’s happening today. In the future, I hope to work at a non-government organisation like the United Nations or ASEAN. These organisations are where I can apply the most of my knowledge and findings and actively contribute to peacekeeping."

Tim Chan Bachelor of Science (1st Year)
Travelling thousands of miles away from home to study abroad, without a shadow of a doubt, is one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life. Yet it is definitely the best decision I have ever made so far.
Prior to my arrival, I was so nervous: Canberra was completely new to me and I had no idea about the environment and challenges I was going to face. Luckily, I chose to stay in Wright Hall. Residents and staff members here are very friendly and caring. They are the nicest people I have ever met. They are eager to offer me assistance to settle into and adapt to life in ANU and Australia. They are more than just my friends. They are my family here (yes, both residents and staff members live in Wright Hall).
Living in residential halls not only has granted me opportunities to join various events and chances to meet people from all around the world, but also academic support from my fellow residents. They offered me advice on studying in the university and the methods to ace the academic challenges ahead. This is something you could never experience elsewhere.
Living in ANU and Wright Hall is something you would never want to miss, and I am always proud to call ANU and Wright Hall my home.

Yasmin Sahihi Flexible double degree: Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/ Bachelor of Economics ANU has given me the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and adventures that come with being a student of a world-class university—and through these opportunities, I’m getting to see the impact on the world of the things I’m learning on a day-to-day basis.
During one of my semester breaks, I was fortunate enough to take part in a public health study tour and to be financially supported to study at local hospitals in Yogyakarta, Depok and Jakarta in Indonesia. At all of these hospitals, I learned about implementing public health programs in developing countries and different geographical areas.
This year, I am excited about being part of a team of ANU students who will be volunteering as paralegals in the Kimberley region of remote Western Australia, where we will be supporting lawyers working to get justice for Indigenous Australians.
Every day that I’m at ANU, I get closer to completing my degree while gaining new degrees of experience.
Get job-ready skills and contribute to something bigger than you. Take on some amazing internships here and overseas, some of which are exclusive to ANU.

David Chieng Flexible double degree: Bachelor of Arts/ Bachelor of Laws One of my favourite things about ANU has been the overseas exchange opportunities. During my two-and a-half years here, I have already done a short winter language course in Japan at Ritsumeikan University with the help of a $3,000 NCP Mobility Grant and studied one of the law programs at the London School of Economics and Political Science Summer School.
