The Australian National University offers research students a dynamic academic environment and exceptional program resources. Choosing the right research program depends heavily on an institution's standing, and ANU stands among the globe's top universities, making it an excellent option for your research studies.
At ANU, you can pursue research through a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), or Professional Doctorate (research-based). The core of each program involves producing a comprehensive thesis that explores a specific topic. As a research candidate, you'll enjoy greater autonomy while being guided by an academic supervisor or a panel of faculty members.
Our alumni go on to work across various sectors including government agencies, policy institutes, private companies, nonprofit organizations, and global institutions.
