The Australian National University (ANU) is a prestigious research-intensive university located in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. Founded in 1946, it has established itself as one of the nation's leading institutions for higher education and research.
ANU boasts an impressive global reputation, consistently ranking among the top universities worldwide. ANU has seven academic colleges that house a number of schools and research centres that specialise in a range of disciplines - all relevant but some unique in Australia and our region.
ANU's campus provides a vibrant and intellectually stimulating environment, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration. Our Acton campus is in the heart of Canberra - Australia's capital city - in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). From here it's an easy walk, bike ride or drive to some of Australia's most significant political and cultural institutions including Australian Parliament House.
Amongst our modern lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, student residences and administration buildings, you'll find all the conveniences of a small suburb including cafes, bars, supermarkets, childcare centres, a newsagency, post office and even a medical centre. The areas of Sullivan's Creek and University Avenue are key features of the Acton Campus providing major avenues across the campus that contribute to its 'park like' nature and are also nationally and internationally recognised features of the Acton campus.
With its exceptional academic standing, world-class college, and state-of-the-art facilities, ANU continues to shape the future through education, research, and global engagement. Whether you are a prospective student or a researcher seeking to collaborate, ANU offers a unique and enriching experience at the forefront of academia.
