Canberra – Australia’s best kept secret
Named as one of the best places to live in the world*, and home to the top 25† world-ranked Australian National University (ANU), Canberra has all of the charms of a city with a small town sentiment.
Why should you study at Australia’s top university? It’s a no-brainer.
The world class research, academics and national capital location give ANU the prestigious listing amongst the finest universities in the world. ANU is famous for our discipline rankings^ in the following fields, Politics and international studies (7), Linguistics (11), Philosophy (13), Modern Languages (=14), Sociology (=14), History (15).
As a student you can also take advantage of opportunities not easily afforded to other universities including internships at Parliament House, foreign embassies in Canberra, and national, cultural and collecting institutions such as the National Museum—a mere stone’s throw away from ANU campus.
The location of the campus within the city centre is another bonus for the living experience of a student at ANU. New and thriving cultural hubs, the NewActon precinct and suburb of Braddon are within a few blocks of campus and feature quirky shops, cafes and popular eateries.
Childers Street precinct is home to Student Central—the one‑stop‑shop for students, and a bevy of new student accommodation options and popular restaurants.
Being based on the edge of the picturesque Lake Burley-Griffin is the cherry on top of an already beautiful surrounding in the heart of the nation’s capital. The lake provides opportunities to enjoy fitness and fun such as the famous Colour Run and other charity fun runs and other community events such as the annual synchronised fireworks to music spectacular—SkyFire, and annual flower festival—Floriade.
Other events are held in the city centre throughout the year such as the Winter Festival featuring an outdoor ice skating rink, and the National Multicultural Festival celebrating Canberra’s cultural diversity
Not only beautiful, Canberra is also known as a safe and friendly place with one of the lowest crime rates of any major Australian city, making it the best choice for a study destination. Along with the comfort of an accommodation guarantee for interstate and international students—why wait?
Just think, you can join a community of inspired minds within Australia’s safest city, and the best place to live in the world.
