The Australian National University (ANU) was founded as Australia's centre for world-class research. Our researchers and their work have led the University to be ranked as Australia's top university and one of the three top universities in *Asia . Research conducted at the University has won Nobel Prizes and, importantly, made a difference in people's lives.

What does this mean for you?

As an undergraduate student you will be studying psychology with some of the most acknowledged research leaders in psychology world-wide. Importantly, our educational programs are driven by the research we are doing ourselves in such key areas as social psychology, clinical and health psychology, and the psychology and neuroscience of cognition and perception.

What makes us different from other leading universities?

At the ANU we get to know our students. Our first year courses have about 350 students, rather than the much larger numbers that you will encounter in many other universities, and our laboratory classes have no more than twenty students. At the same time we take a comparatively large number of students (45 – 50) into our Honours program.

Student Profile – Aaron Tan

Bachelor of Science (Honours)

Having diverse interests and abilities can make it difficult to choose what to study. Twenty-four year old Aaron Tan, from Singapore, faced this problem, with competing interests in psychology and computing. When he started to explore his options, it became apparent that this combination was not commonly offered. “It required the university to be flexible and robust in the manner in which courses were offered”, said Aaron. One name kept coming up - ­ ANU

Aaron enrolled in a Bachelor of Science with a double major, in Psychology and Computer Science. In particular, he was drawn to the reputation of the School of Psychology. “The list of staff achievements is impeccable. It brings together a group of world class academics who are experts in their respective fields of study”, said Aaron. Aaron has found that ANU is far more than simply a place to get a degree. "You get addicted to the place and the great people - it's a place where a student gets fully invovled in his or her education, while making good friends."
