Australian National University - ANU College, Canberra
ANU College (ANUC) is the English language and academic pathway provider for The Australian National University (ANU), Australia's highest ranked university and among the world's best. ANU’s main campus is in the heart of Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, only minutes from the nation's parliament and national institutions, and just a short walk from the city’s bustling centre.
Our campus combines the advantages of studying in Australia's capital city, with its state-of-the-art spaces for research, but wide open ‘green’ spaces to learn, meet and live. A sculpture walk, heritage trails, art gallery and Classics Museum are just some of the on-campus facilities and attractions.
There is a strong residential focus on campus, supporting a community with plenty of social and academic options. Additional counselling, health and medical, religious, parenting and disability services are also provided. ANU College students have the option to stay in on-campus accommodations – with a range of residential styles – or live with local families, but students are welcome to search for and set up their own private accommodation.
Homestay Accommodation: For new students studying in Australia for the first time, homestay is recommended as the safest and best option. Students under the age of 18 commencing study at ANU College have specific accommodation and welfare arrangements.
