Our unique location in Canberra creates an enriched teaching and research environment, giving our researchers and students access to the nation’s political, cultural and collecting institutions and government departments.

Our researchers shape debates and public policy through consultations, media outreach and through their research. Our disciplines rank highly against other universities globally, and almost all achieve above (or well above) world standard in the Excellence in Research for Australia ratings by the Australian Research Council.

At the ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences and the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific, we take pride in our international reputation for a high standard of education and engagement with our community.

Come study with us

Although our Colleges are distinctive in many ways, we also possess crucial similarities, broadly covering disciplines that fall into a category known as HASS – humanities, arts and social sciences. Together we offer a complementary array of undergraduate programs.

ANU College of

Asia & the PacificWe are home to the largest number of regional experts and specialist academic programs in the English-speaking world, and play a vital role informing public policy and Australia’s intellectual engagement with the societies, cultures and economies of Asia and the Pacific. Our programs provide a global perspective on the biggest issues facing society and will equip you with the skills you need to become an international citizen.

Several disciplines we teach are unique within Australia – such as International Security Studies – and we also teach more than half of Australia’s less commonly learned Asian languages, among them Hindi, Sanskrit, and Vietnamese. In total, we teach 15 Asian and Pacific languages – more than any other Australian university – including some not taught anywhere else in the country, including Burmese, Mongolian, Tetum, and Thai.

The Australian National Internships Program

The Australian National Internships Program (ANIP) is a research-intensive internship that gives undergraduate and postgraduate students unique access to the leading institutions of Australian policy-making and politics.

For over two decades, this elite program has provided foundational experience for the careers of future leaders in government, politics, non-government organisations and the private sector.

ANIP is the only program to offer Australian Commonwealth Parliamentary Internships in addition to other opportunities across the country and abroad, such as:

> Government – including Australian Parliament, Australian Public Service, ACT Legislative Assembly and ACT Public Service.

With our impressive range of in-country study programs, 98% of our graduating cohort have taken a global study option.*

Broaden your horizons

Our students come from all over the country and the world. They’re a diverse group but share important characteristics: they are adventurous, curious and creative. They are explorers of the world. For this reason, we encourage our students to broaden their horizons and gain unique experiences – some overseas, some closer to home.

> Think Tanks – including Centre for International Economics, Development Policy Centre and East Asian Bureau of Economic Research.

> Embassies – including Embassies, Delegations and High Commissions of India, Indonesia, Timor Leste and the United States.

> National Institutions – including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum of Australia and the Australian War Memorial.

Zack DruryBachelor of International Relations ANIP Geneva Internship

Zack Drury will work in Geneva on an eight-week internship with Australia’s Permanent Mission to the World Trade Organization (WTO).

“I’ll be working with the Second Secretary, shadowing him in a negotiating-type role.

“The Permanent Mission does a lot of aid-for-trade programs as part of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s foreign policy program, which includes helping countries remove protectionist policies by offering aid to help them into the global market.”

Its diplomats also represent Australia’s interests in the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Intellectual Property Organization.

“I hope to be able to get a real understanding of how the negotiation process works, as you can’t have politics without trade, so I think it’s a fundamental point of international relations.”

“I’m doing the Geneva trip as part of the Australian National Internships Program (ANIP). When I return I’ll be working on another major essay focused on the dealings of the WTO.

“I couldn’t stress enough, if people want to do this sort of thing, go to the websites of the embassies and see what’s available for locally engaged staff.”



Immersive in-country experienceTrade your seat in the classroom for a village hut in the mountains of Myanmar, a tearoom in Japan, or among palm trees in Hawai‘i. You might visit the great archaeological sites of Italy, Greece or Turkey, live in a rice-farming village in Vietnam, or encounter endangered primates in Cambodia. All the while you’ll earn credit towards your degree.

Spend a semester overseasSpend a semester at one of our partner universities located in 17 countries across the globe and get credit towards your degree. An exchange is the best way for you to experience cultural and language immersion.

In-country language coursesTravel during the summer and winter breaks with an intensive language course in Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand or India.

FieldworkFieldwork opportunities are available for students studying archaeology and anthropology who wish to gain in-country experience and hone their exploratory research skills. For four

Students across a range of our programs have the opportunity to travel as part of their degree. This could include undertaking an immersive in-country experience, spending a semester at one of our partner universities or doing an intensive language course in-country during one of the summer or winter breaks.

Tour and study

weeks in the winter break you could live in Indonesia on a village homestay, practise Indonesian, work in a team with Indonesian students, learn ethnographic methods and data analysis, and help the community to apply for development assistance and complete community projects. Alternatively, you could survey the historic houses of Ribchester in the UK or, if you’d prefer to stay in Australia, you could attend an archaeological dig in Tasmania at the Triabunna Barracks.

These are just a few of the many study tour and fieldwork opportunities available, all of them with staff instruction and for academic course credit.

EngageAsia Travel GuaranteeThe adventure of a lifetime is one thing – the adventure of a lifetime with a few thousand dollars in your pocket is another thing altogether. At the ANU College of Asia & the Pacific, we know that money does matter to students, especially when they are thinking about studying overseas. That’s why we give cash to every single one of our students leaving on our approved overseas study programs. The value of the EngageAsia Travel Guarantee depends on the length of the program, but we guarantee that every student receives at least $500 for short courses, $2000 for semester programs, and at least $3000 for the Year in Asia program.

Mish KhanBachelor of Laws (Honours)/Bachelor of Asian Studies

“Studying at ANU has transformed my life. It’s made the world so much more accessible.

“I’ve had many opportunities to take my studies abroad – to Japan, Singapore, Myanmar and Malaysia – and to undertake internships with amazing academics.

“I’m at the best university in the world for the combined study of the Asia Pacific and Law, so with the experiences I have had here, I hope to influence the monumental political developments shaping Southeast Asia.”



We know that living abroad can be costly. That’s why we guarantee that every student that participates in the Year in Asia program will receive a minimum of $3,000 in financial assistance through the EngageAsia Travel Guarantee. If you enrol with an ATAR of 95+, you will receive a minimum of $5,000.

Year in Asia is our premier overseas study program for students studying Asian languages.

Year in Asia

One whole year in your chosen country, studying like a local and immersing yourself in the language as you make yourself at home in a new culture. The Year in Asia program can take you to China, Japan, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand or Vietnam.

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Asian Studies, Bachelor of International Security Studies, Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Languages are eligible to apply for the Year in Asia once they meet the admission requirements.

As the name suggests, the Year in Asia program takes one year, added to the length of your degree. After completing your degree and your year overseas, you will graduate with a Bachelor of Asia-Pacific Studies (Year in Asia).

The best way for you to study the Asia-Pacific region is by going there. That’s why we want you to take your expertise to the world. Take advantage of our overseas study programs, experience cultural immersion, improve your language fluency, and come back with memories that will last a lifetime.

“Having the opportunity to live in a country for a whole year really helps you to understand the language and how it works in everyday life. Having completed Year in Asia, I feel I now have a deeper understanding of both the culture and the language (however cliché that may sound). I will keep the memories and friends I made there with me forever, and I am very grateful for having had the opportunity!”

“I can probably already say that that year will be the most memorable.”

“Despite being apprehensive before embarking on this adventure, I quickly and easily settled into a new life in Indonesia. I spent the year making friends, studying in some of Indonesia’s oldest universities, scuba diving with green turtles, hanging out with Komodo dragons and hiking volcanoes. By the end of the year my Indonesian language skills and cultural understandings had improved enormously and I felt much more confident. Since then, my love for Indonesia has continued to grow and I can’t wait to return!”

“I have always had a strong love of languages and after studying Japanese in high school, challenging myself with Korean at ANU seemed like an exciting new step. I was also given the opportunity to embark on the Year in Asia program in 2015 and spend a year studying on exchange at Yonsei University, South Korea. Living and studying in Seoul not only increased my confidence in my language skills, but also connected my studies with the real world. Returning to Australia, in my final two years of study I hope to further develop my Korean and continue my research interests surrounding tensions on the Korean peninsula and security events in the South and East China seas.”

“To say that my Year in Asia experience in Indonesia was life changing is an understatement.”

“Living and studying in Seoul not only increased my confidence in my language skills, but also connected my studies with the real world.”

“My Year in China experience was nothing short of incredible.”

“My Year in Japan was an experience of a lifetime!”

“My language skills improved and my confidence to use Japanese rose exponentially. I enjoyed the independence and challenges associated with living abroad. I was exposed to parts of Japanese culture that allowed me to gain a more multifaceted insight into the complex society.

“I am grateful to have made strong connections with domestic students and exchange students from around the world. I took every opportunity to travel, and reached the peak of Mt Fuji, saw beaches in Okinawa, Sapporo’s Snow Festival, Kyoto’s cherry blossom season, castles, temples, shrines and museums. I hope to return for further study or work opportunities in the future!”

“Intensive in-country language learning and cultural immersion produced amazing improvements in all aspects of my language proficiency. Language learning was not confined to the classroom at Peking University. My experiences travelling around China and living with a host family provided opportunities for constant practice and improvement unobtainable in Australia. For anyone seriously interested in Chinese language and culture, there’s honestly no better program than this available at an Australian university.”

Tim HobbsBachelor of International Security Studies/Bachelor of Laws (Honours)

“Moving to Canberra and the ANU to study International Security Studies is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It has opened so many doors and given me so many great opportunities I know that I wouldn’t get anywhere else. Since arriving at the beginning of 2016 I have furthered my study of Chinese, I’ve met and been taught by experts in Australia’s security policy, participated in war games, asked questions to the foreign minister of Iran and I’ve been to Cambodia on an in-country learning experience. I’ve also made so many new friends with similar interests to myself.

“I chose to enrol in a double degree with Law. The double degree option gives me the flexibility to explore Australia’s legal system, and develop my understanding of Australia’s security and strategic environment. The degrees complement and relate to each other really nicely. Plus, having that extra qualification will open up more doors for me in the future.

“One day I hope to represent Australia and its interests overseas. The skills I’ve developed here and the practical experience that I have gained will no doubt stand my peers and I in good stead when we leave University and start applying for jobs. I’m looking forward to the next three years and the challenges and opportunities they will offer.”

“I was first attracted to studying at The Australian National University because of its Bachelor of Middle Eastern & Central Asian Studies and the opportunity to study Arabic. I have always been fascinated by the Middle East and sought the opportunity to develop my knowledge on the region, its languages and its culture. I am passionate about languages and after studying French I decided to learn Arabic as my next chaallenge.

Harriet Lee RobinsonBachelor of Visual Arts

“My favourite place on campus is the School of Art and Design, because everything you need is here. It’s a lovely environment to work in and has a very supportive community. There are lots of nice outdoor areas to have a break and relax in and the library is fantastic.

“I consider the work I do to be silversmithing, which is the craft of using sheets of metal to make hollowware, for example, teapots, bowls, jugs and trophies. I make small metal vessels that prompt interaction and give viewers an opportunity to explore and discover subtle variations and details. I like to make peculiar forms with lots of varying texture and detailed interiors.

“It was an honour and very exciting moment to be selected for Talente [2015 International Talente Craft and Design Exhibition]. I was able to go to Munich for the exhibition, which was a great experience and fantastic opportunity to meet lots of other artists and designers. I saw lots of amazing work and was very inspired.

“I was also awarded the Boronia EASS Prize, which will help me purchase tools for when I set up my own studio in the second half of the year. The School of Art and Design’s EASS [Emerging Artist Support Scheme] is a really important program and has really helped me feel able to embark on the real world.”

Ye YintBachelor of International Security Studies

“I came to ANU on the Myanmar Presidential Scholarship, which gave me the opportunity to study at any university abroad. I chose ANU, enrolling in the Bachelor of International Security Studies, where I have been surrounded by intellectuals from Australia and around the world. Being at ANU and in Canberra has been a hugely rewarding experience. I have developed into a completely different person. The tutorials, packed with boundless ideas and thought-provoking debate on security issues, are my favourite, but I also love the freedom to fill up my electives with variety. I’ve taken sociology and management courses from different Colleges, and two courses in Spanish so far. I love it!”

You will then concentrate on the 20th century before addressing contemporary global issues, the age of global political economy, global culture and communication, global environmental concerns and post-Cold war political conflict, including the ‘War on Terror’. The Bachelor of International Relations will allow you to explore conceptual and theoretical debates and approaches that can be applied to historical and contemporary issues.

By studying the Bachelor of International Security Studies, you will delve deeply into the contemporary security threats facing nations, international organisations and businesses around the world. Studying this degree will develop your analytical skills and knowledge of the security challenges facing our world with particular reference to the Asia Pacific region. You will gain a clear understanding on areas such as threats of military power, civil war, terrorism, cybercrime, environmental degradation and food security to name a few.

Both degrees offer the opportunity to study a language and go on exchange or an international/national internship.

Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) – Asia and the PacificATAR: 99 DURATION: 4 YEARS

CRICOS CODE: 088980J

The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) or PhB is an innovative, research-focused undergraduate degree designed for intellectually curious students who want to explore their interests beyond the classroom.

As a member of our interdisciplinary research community you will have the opportunity to explore your interests through a diverse range of disciplines, including history, international relations, gender, culture, strategic studies, literature, politics, linguistics, anthropology, law and regulation, archaeology and economics.

During your final year of study you will be encouraged to undertake fieldwork abroad as you embark on a year-long independent research project under the guidance of an academic supervisor. With the PhB you can choose your own adventure while gaining exceptional preparation in your chosen field and special opportunities to pursue the study of Asia and the Pacific at the highest level.

Career Opportunities: The PhB is an ideal path to take if you are already aiming for a career in research, but it is equally good if you decide to enter the workforce directly, as you will not only have gained the academic and generic skills normally obtained within a degree but will have gained highly marketable skills in independent research, oral and written communication and also in teamwork.

Rosalind MoranBachelor of Philosophy (Arts)/Diploma of Languages

“The decision to enter the PhB program at the ANU was an obvious one for me. I wished to pursue a challenging course of study which recognised high-achieving humanities students and allowed them to explore their interests across a wide range of fields. My own study program has been varied and unconventional, and I wouldn’t change it.

While at the ANU, I have had the opportunity to study literature and languages in depth without ever feeling I was choosing an easy route paved with stereotypically ‘soft’ subjects. The PhB requires students to design a portion of their own courses and this enabled me to work with academics and complete research projects within areas which particularly interested me. I researched a relatively forgotten Australian author for one project, for example, and wrote a 6000 word French essay on philosophy for another. Moreover, I have had the chance to study several languages at the ANU, both having fun with French and learning Portuguese thanks to the PhB’s structure allowing extra room for electives. I additionally undertook a Diploma of Languages in Mandarin.

The ANU School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics has been a wonderful source of inspiration and support for me during my time at university. Lecturers are passionate about their subjects and committed to their students. Studying within the department also led to opportunities such as an internship at the Brazilian embassy in Canberra; a summer exchange to Beijing, enabled by scholarship funding; and a nine-month exchange to the National Taiwan University, also facilitated by scholarship funding. These experiences were invaluable to my linguistic, academic, and personal growth. I would be a different person had I not been granted the opportunities presented to me by this faculty and its staff.”
