Australian National University offers a number of undergraduate degree programs in law, international security studies, public policy, political science and international relations.
Studying in Canberra, the heart of Australia’s government, you will be in a unique position to learn about different systems of government and understand the complexities that have shaped the modern world of states and international society. You will examine historical and current issues through the lens of theory and the practice of global politics and law, learn about the contemporary security threats facing nations and gain in-depth knowledge about the role and function of law. You’ll also develop advanced understanding about how law influences and impacts almost every aspect of our world.
On top of that, ANU offers many connections with the Australian Government and a range of non-governmental organisations.
