How to apply

Selecting your degree preferences

As part of your application to study an undergraduate and/or postgraduate degree at ANU you can choose a number of degree preferences. It is important that you list the degree that you would most like to study as your first preference. For example, if you would like to study the Bachelor of International Relations you should list this as your first preference and the Bachelor of Arts as your second preference, as you can complete an international relations major in both degrees. Also, you can include combined degrees in your preference list – if your first choice is a combined degree (eg. Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Commerce) you should list this as your first preference and the relevant single degree (eg. Bachelor of Arts) as your second or later preference.
