ANU has joined forces with a number of leading universities and organisations to ensure the talents of women are better represented in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) education and careers.
Along with ANU, participating institutions are the University of Canberra, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), University of South Australia, University of Sydney, and the University of Cambridge.
ANU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Brian Schmidt AC said that ANU was taking part in the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) programme, and that university leaders were committed to gender equality in science.
"For ANU, the SAGE initiative is a programme that will help the University both think about the problems around gender equity, and then find ways to fix those problems", Professor Schmidt said.
"We are delighted to be working with other research institutions in our region to break down barriers and inspire more women to have rewarding careers in STEMM".
Teaching staff at ANU are active researchers and world-leaders in their fields.
Additionally, ANU maintains an average staff-to-student ratio of 1:15, ensuring that its teachers are always accessible to students so that they can personally get to know some of the world’s brightest minds.
In 2017, ANU Distinguished Professor Graham Farquhar AO became the first Australian recipient of the coveted Kyoto Prize. His work has transformed the understanding of how carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis to convert light into chemical energy for plants to grow.
Professor Farquhar’s research into plant biophysics has been used to understand cells, whole plants and whole forests, and to create new, water-efficient wheat varieties. These wheat strains can grow in drought conditions and will be used to help fight food insecurity around the world. Read more about Graham…
ANU has seven academic colleges which cover the major disciplines:
ANU is also home to the National Centre for Indigenous Studies, a research home for indigenous scholars from around the world.
The University’s academic colleges also house a number of schools and research centres that specialise in a range of disciplines - all relevant but some unique in Australia and the region.
Students can choose from a range of disciplines and degree structures at ANU. The types of programmes available include single, double and research undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. At ANU, students will be able to find a degree that suits their interests, strengths and career goals.
International students need to meet the entry requirements for the ANU degree programme they want to study, as well as the University’s English language requirements.
If their tertiary studies were entirely taught and assessed in English, they may meet the requirement. If their English studies were completed over two years ago, students will need to provide an English proficiency test certificate, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
For admission into an undergraduate programme at ANU, applicants must have:
If students have completed one year of study at a different university, their application will be assessed on the basis of their tertiary results. If students have not met the minimum requirements for entry into ANU, there are alternative pathway options to consider.
For admission into a postgraduate programme at ANU, applicants must have:
For postgraduate studies, ANU looks at all prior study including undergraduate grades and post graduate grades (if the applicant has already done a master’s degree before).
ANU constantly renews and upgrades its facilities to ensure we offer a world-class university experience to students.
