A good place to start for general information is at the About ANU website.

What do you want to study? The best way to find out what we offer is to look at Study@ANU.

ANU staff participate in overseas visits, where they welcome the chance to talk to prospective students.

There are also many agents and representatives of ANU in many countries who can advise you.

You can look at PDF versions of some of the publications we produce for prospective students.

The student profiles tell you what current students have to say about ANU.

The cost of studying is always an important issue. Check the course fees and the support available through our scholarships and international aid programs. If you are  applying for a scholarship from the Australian Agency for International Scholarships (AUSAID Scholarships) click here.

Before you apply, make sure you meet the academic requirements of your chosen course. Check the program details on Study@ANU for the specific requirements.

You also need to meet our English language requirements. If your English skills are not good enough, you may be interested in the programs offered by ANU College.

You should also take the time to discover a little more about Canberra and ANU.

At this point, you also need to understand your obligations as far as health cover, through the compulsory Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) program. If you have a chronic medical condition please click here for more information.

ANU staff visit some countries to conduct pre-departure events, to help you prepare for life at ANU.

You can arrange to be met on arrival in Canberra, as part of our meet and greet program.

Soon after arriving, you can attend Orientation, the most important event for new students.

The next step is to enrol. The best preparation is to read the enrolment procedures.

It is also important for you to understand the rights and responsibilities which cover your time as a student in Australia.
