Overview
  • Interested in postgrad study? 
  • Here's why you should keep ANU at the front of your mind.

So, you’re thinking about postgrad? Maybe you’re ready to level up in your career, or maybe you’re just keen to learn as much as you can, as soon as you can. Either way, if you’re tossing up which uni to study at, allow me to point you in the direction of ANU. Not only is it ranked as one of the top universities in the country, but it also offers great student accommodation for postgrad students and a range of scholarships to help out with the financial side of things. 

Some quick stats for you: ANU produce the most employable graduates in Australia* and it’s also rated 5 stars for student-to-staff ratio and staff qualifications**. So, you’ll be getting as much as possible out of small classes, to graduate with all the skills and qualifications you need to go for your dream job with confidence. 

ANU also have on-campus accommodation dedicated to postgraduate students, so you’re covered if you don’t live in Canberra. Instead of having to search for rentals and go to a bunch of house inspections, you can apply online for affordable student accommodation and live in a building of other postgrad students while you complete your degree. 

Maybe the biggest consideration for studying postgrad is the cost. If so, you’ll be glad to hear that everyone who applies for a PhD or MPhil degree at ANU goes into automatic consideration for a scholarship. Sound good? You can read more about the scholarships offered by ANU here.
