澳大利亚国立大学

The Australian National University (ANU) was founded in 1946 and is located in Canberra, the capital city of Australia. It’s the only university in the country which was created by the Parliament of Australia.

ANU was reorganised in 2006 to create seven separate colleges, including: arts and social sciences, business and economics, engineering and computer science, law, medicine, biology and environment, and physical and mathematical sciences.

ANU allows students to customise their studies, and study two subjects as part of their degree to multiply qualifications and increase employability after university.

The main campus of ANU extends across the suburb of Acton, which consists of 358 acres of mostly parkland with university buildings landscaped within. With over 10,000 trees on its campus, ANU is known as a sustainable campus. ANU offers a wide range of catered and self-catered student residences and a vibrant campus community within easy walking or cycling distance to the city.

There are four other campuses including Kioloa Coastal Campus in New South Wales, Mount Stromlo Observatory 18km southwest of Canberra city in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), North Australia Research Unit campus approximately 15km drive from Darwin city and Siding Spring Observatory also in New South Wales.

ANU offers plenty of clubs for students to join as well as various volunteering opportunities.

ANU has also established relationships with over 170 universities around the world, carrying out academic exchanges, scientific research cooperation and the opportunity for students to study abroad.

Universities on offer include University of Edinburgh (UK), University of California (US) and University of Auckland (New Zealand).
