Australian National University (ANU), founded by an act of the Australian Parliament in 1946, is Australia’s only national university and is consistently regarded as one of the country’s premier research institutions . Located in Canberra on a picturesque 358-acre campus, ANU houses seven academic colleges and numerous world-class facilities such as Mount Stromlo Observatory, the Siding Spring Observatory, and the National Computational Infrastructure supercomputer. It is a proud member of the elite Group of Eight, ranking 30th globally in the 2025 QS World University Rankings and within the top 100 in major league tables like Times Higher Education and ARWU
Known for its research-led teaching, ANU excels in fields including Natural Sciences (first among Australian universities), Arts & Humanities (2nd), and Social Sciences (3rd), with 42 subjects ranked in the global top 50 by QS en.wikipedia.org+15science.anu.edu.au+15reporter.anu.edu.au+15. With a low student-to-staff ratio and small class sizes, students benefit from close academic mentorship and real-world engagement—internships with government agencies, NGOs, and global companies are typical edu-all.com+9timeshighereducation.com+9reddit.com+9. ANU graduates are highly employable, with employer satisfaction rates above 84% and strong full-time employment outcomes (around 80.7% for undergraduates and 88.5% for postgraduates) en.wikipedia.org+1timeshighereducation.com+1.
Recently, ANU has faced significant financial challenges. In response to budget deficits—which have been reduced from an initial forecast of AUD 200 million to around AUD 140 million—the university has implemented structural reforms, including staff reductions and the merging of academic colleges news.com.au+3news.com.au+3reddit.com+3. Additionally, ANU is investigating a potential cyber incident after its Vice-Chancellor’s LinkedIn account liked several controversial and offensive posts; the matter has been referred to the Australian Cyber Security Centre theaustralian.com.au+1theguardian.com+1.
Despite these headwinds, ANU remains committed to research excellence, strong teaching outcomes, and national impact—continuing to attract outstanding students and scholars alike.
