We offer a suite of programs that are unique and distinctive to give you an edge when you graduate. These include the world-renowned Flexible Double DegreesTM, Vertical Double DegreesTM and our Degrees for High Achievers.

Flexible Double degrees

Degrees for High Achievers

A Flexible Double DegreeTM from ANU gives you even more versatility – and two qualifications. Double degrees take less time to complete than two standalone degrees, and they open up even more career opportunities.

The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) (PhB)

You can combine any degree from the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences with a range of other degrees such as law, commerce, engineering and science, so you can study a vocation while pursuing your passions. The Bachelor of Arts is available for combination within all three Flexible Double Degree groups and is one of the most popular degrees studied as part of a double degree.

Vertical Double degrees Another choice is to graduate with a Vertical Double DegreeTM, which combines a versatile undergraduate degree with a professional graduate qualification, setting you up for life. There are currently three Vertical Double degrees on offer: >> Bachelor of Arts/Master of International Affairs >> Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics/ Juris Doctor >> Bachelor of Asian Studies/Master of Globalisation See the ‘Degrees’ sections of this guide for more details, or head to programsandcourses.anu.edu.au

ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences

Study at the highest levels with the PhB. You will extend yourself through a number of Advanced Studies courses, designed to equip you with the skills and techniques needed to undertake research. PhB students complete their degree with an Honours year in the Arts discipline of your choice. You’ll even get the flexibility to structure the degree in a way that suits you in consultation with your academic advisor. If you choose to study the PhB, you are able to apply for a travel grant of up to $1,500 to undertake study abroad.

The Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (BPPE) The Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (BPPE) is a well-known and established degree throughout the world. You will gain a grounding in each of the three disciplines equally, then decide which area to focus on further into your degree. Based on the Oxford model, the ANU degree features a unique Integrative Seminar series. Our Integrative Seminar series brings together the three disciplines to illuminate topics of pressing human concern, and students engage as a cohort throughout the duration of their program. Graduates of the PPE degree will have a thoroughly interdisciplinary grounding across politics, philosophy and economics which will set them up for a range of careers across the private and public sector, and leadership roles.

Matthew Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics, Tuckwell Scholarship recipient The Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics (BPPE) was one of the main reasons behind Matthew’s decision to come to ANU, as well as the scholarship and opportunity to move away from his hometown in Sydney. “I had never heard about the BPPE until a friend of mine introduced me to it, and after I did some research I realised it was exactly what I wanted,” says Matthew. “It’s unique in the way it’s taught as three disciplines working together, which is best embodied in the seminar classes, where the disciplines are all meshed together in one synchronised way as opposed to being taught separately. It’s surprised me how much the subjects overlap and work together. The BPPE gives me the flexibility to approach problems from different aspects that you wouldn’t normally study if you were studying just economics, or just politics.”

Janis explains, “It’s about the relationships we have in an increasingly networked world to this sea of intangible data which is increasingly defining who we are and how we engage with things.”

Melandri Bachelor of Arts, Major in Archaeological Practice “ANU stood out as the best program available in archaeology and biological anthropology. The fact that I lived in the Canberra area only made it more of a definite choice.

Ruohan Bachelor of Arts (German)/Bachelor of Laws (Hons) An interest in German that started in high school has already taken Ruohan Zhao to Berlin and Freiburg. “When I finished high school, I still didn’t feel like I’d mastered German yet, and I wanted to take it to an academic level at university,” says Ruohan. It was the ability to combine German with a Bachelor of Laws, that prompted Ruohan to make the move to Canberra from Auckland, New Zealand. In 2014, Ruohan headed to Germany for a semester-long exchange at Freiburg University, after six weeks of language training in Berlin, an experience she says was “like falling in love with Germany, their language and their culture all over again”. Among the highlights of her trip was watching the Soccer World Cup with her fellow students.

Hugo Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Science I’m studying a Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Science - majoring in saxophone performance and physics. It has been fascinating working with (INXS keyboardist and HC Coombs Fellow) Andrew Farriss – hearing his stories and approaches to writing and arranging music. He has so much knowledge and experience in the music industry that goes far beyond just playing music, something that is crucial to the modern-day musician. This year I have written, recorded and produced my new album, Confluence, for which Andrew has played a significant mentoring role. It was great to have someone with his wealth of ideas willing to listen to mine, from short musical fragments to finished works, and offer constructive criticism at all times. One of my favourite spots on campus is the small grass peninsula with willow trees, sticking into Sullivan’s Creek from South Oval. I like it because it is so calm and peaceful – a beautiful spot with the plants and water birds. It is a perfect place to sit and think, or just sit. If I were free for an afternoon, I’d go for a run up and around Black Mountain with my mates. We do this a lot and it’s heaps of fun, good catch-up time, very relaxing, and apparently not too bad for your health either. In the future I’ll be continuing my original composition/production projects as well as performing as a session player in many different bands. It would be great to travel around some more and broaden my experience and networks in the industry. I’m also working on fusing the disciplines of Music and Physics with exciting opportunities ahead. Possibly postgraduate study at some stage too.

AJ Bachelor of Philosophy (Hons)/Diploma of Languages The Bachelor of Philosophy is by no means your average degree. As a third year PhB student AJ America can attest, you can exercise a high level of autonomy within it and work closely with lecturers. In Year 12, AJ took the HSC History Extension course, which she describes as a very self-directed research project. “I really enjoyed the process of research and the process of letting a project take shape over a few months rather than just having a set essay question that you respond to in the three weeks that you have to write the paper,” AJ says. “The opportunity to keep doing that regularly was really enticing.” For her first research project at ANU, AJ worked alongside an academic whose books she had admired – historian Angela Woollacott. “It was my second year of university and I was sitting in her office getting to discuss my work every week and chat to her about history. Eighteen months earlier, I’d been reading her books when I was in high school,” AJ enthuses. “I’ve also been privileged to work with Frank Bongiorno this semester and Alex Cook over a couple of semesters.” AJ is currently working on a research project about Australian Holocaust education in Australia and another on Jewry in the Weimar republic. While her projects are solo endeavours, she has felt far from isolated from her peers. She spoke about first year seminar, which she did with her fellow PhB students. “Often, class discussions would kind of continue in the hallway after class until it was moved to the bar slowly,” she smiles. “We ended up with a really great community of PhB arts students.” “We still have coffee together and talk about our projects. Having those friends from first year seminar has been really valuable.”

Jessica Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics/Bachelor of Laws (Hons) “I first heard about the Oxford PPE and then I found out that ANU offers it as well. And I thought, that is perfect because I don’t have to move far from home, and Canberra is the political hub of Australia. In 2015, my involvement with the UN Society combined with the things I’d learnt in my degree meant that I represented ANU in South Korea as part of Model UN, an educational simulation of the real deal.” She adds, “Choosing this degree was very much my own decision. And so was coming to the ANU.

Honours If you have done well in your Bachelor degree, you can consider adding an Honours year. This extra year of full-time study includes coursework, seminars and a research thesis focusing on one of your majors. To be eligible for Honours, you must have achieved a weighted mark of at least 70 per cent, calculated from 36 units of courses in your cognate major with the highest marks. An Honours degree with a grade of at least 2nd class (2A) is the most direct pathway into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), and will help you get into other graduate degrees such as Master programs in the future. The structure of Honours in each area varies but in all programs a designated weighting is allocated to both coursework and research thesis components. With some exceptions – notably in practice-based areas – courses commonly involve 24 units of advanced level coursework courses and a 50 per cent (18,000 – 20,000 words) or above weighted thesis. Honours programs are comprised of 48 units and are normally taken over a two-semester period. With approval, Honours may be taken part-time over four semesters.

Introducing the Flexible Double Masters The Flexible Double Master Degree provides enormous flexibility through being able to combine any two degrees available in the program for which the entry requirements are met and, by cross counting of electives, completing two degrees in one year less than completing the degrees separately. For students who are eligible for credit for previous degrees or work experience, the double degree may require as little as two years.

The degrees available for combination are: >> Master of Anthropology >> Master of Applied Anthropology and Participatory Development >> Master of Archaeological Science >> Master of Art History and Curatorial Studies >> Master of Biological Anthropology >> Master of Classical Studies >> Master of Criminology >> Master of Culture, Health, and Medicine

TOP 10 REASONS TO MOVE TO CANBERRA There are lots of universities to choose from, but only one Australian National University. The ANU accommodation experience is renowned for being, fun, supportive, and inclusive. We have put together the top 10 reasons to help you make that decision about moving to Canberra!

1. Accommodation Guarantee for first year interstate students! At ANU, the Accommodation Guarantee is free to apply, and if you get an offer for academic study, you are guaranteed to live on campus in your first year if you apply by January 6, 2017.

2. Independence A lot of students are trying to figure out who they are, let alone what they want to do. You will learn about yourself in ways that you wouldn’t get if you stayed home.

3. Living on campus ‘experience’ Canberra has been named in the top 20 Best Student Cities (2016 QS Best Student Cities ranking). Plus, the campus is located right next to the city centre with lots of wide open green spaces.

4. Friends for life One of the things that we hear from students living on campus is how their social networks expand in a very short time. You are guaranteed to make friends for life!

5. ‘Canberra advantage’ If you are interested in languages, working overseas, politics, internships and more—Canberra is the perfect place to be! You will have access to the major Australian cultural and collecting institutions and their archives for teaching, learning and research. The ANU School of Art teach at the National Gallery of Australia, and students can also undertake experience at other institutions such as, The National Archives, The Australian War Memorial, The National Museum of Australia, The National Library of Australia, The National Gallery of Australia, and The National Portrait Gallery.

6. Life experience Get out of your comfort zone and learn key skills such as managing your time and money, and your cooking skills will be well developed if you live in self-catered accommodation. Plus living in the nation’s capital, you’ll grow as an individual and see a bit more of our beautiful country while you’re at it.

7. Get involved ANU has a club or society to cater for every taste and preference. We have everything from Harry Potter, to Chocolate, and Kanye West Appreciation Societies. Like playing sport and being active? We’ve got you covered for that offering a fully equipped on campus gym, running tracks and an abundance of bike paths.

8. Your dream course With a huge range of degrees, as well as the opportunity to study a Flexible Double Degree, you’ll find your perfect fit at ANU. You can build your own unique program through our Compare and Create tool on the Programs and Courses website.

9. Take the stress out of living away from home You won’t have to find a place to live—we’ll find it for you. Plus if you live in a catered option we’ll do the cooking for you. We have fantastic facilities including study/meeting spaces, movie rooms, soundproof music practice rooms, and in some cases a rooftop garden and free secure bike storage.

10. Live in the heart of the City Centre Our location on 145 hectares of beautifully maintained parklands right in the Canberra city centre, is central to everything. With over 5,000 beds on campus (more to come!), it’s easy to join this welcoming community of students right in the heart of the city. Why wait? We look forward to welcoming you home to ANU. Make ANU your first preference for study in 2017 and apply now to live on ANU campus.
