Tomorrow’s innovators, welcome to ANU Open Day on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land. This is your place – start making your mark. Explore your humanities, arts and social sciences opportunities at ANU.

ANU Open Day is a chance to picture yourself studying and living here in 2025/2026. This is your day to soak up new ideas. Feel free to explore – take a guided campus tour, listen to world-leading academics, and try out new ideas.

Whatever your passion, the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) offers a diverse range of qualifications across the humanities, arts, and social sciences. We are ranked #1 in Australia and in the world top 20 for anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, geography, politics, history, development studies, and sociology.1

You can also choose from 27 languages on offer, more than any other university in Australia – languages from Europe, Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East and Indigenous Australia, as well as Classical languages.
