About Australian National University

The Australian National University (ANU) is Australia’s national research university, based in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory. Established in 1946, ANU combines research schools and teaching colleges on a campus in Acton, close to Australia’s parliament, public service and diplomatic community. That location gives students unusual proximity to government, policy institutes and international organisations while they complete undergraduate or postgraduate study.

ANU offers degrees across arts and social sciences, Asia and the Pacific, business and economics, engineering and computing, law, medicine and health, and the physical and life sciences. Domestic school leavers commonly apply through UAC or ANU direct pathways. International applicants follow ANU international admissions processes and must meet published academic and English-language requirements for their course. The university is a TEQSA-registered higher education provider (PRV12002) and CRICOS provider 00120C for international education delivery.
