The Research School of Social Sciences (RSSS) was one of the four foundation research schools of the Institute of Advanced Studies at ANU. For decades it has been a forerunner in social sciences research. It has a proud history and a wonderful depth of talent and outstanding scholarship. We convene workshops, public lectures, debates and roundtables that address issues of public and community importance, and these can be found in the websites of the individual schools and centres.

Hear from our students

The best part about Canberra is that you are based in the political hub of the nation. That’s really helpful when studying because you're pulling in all the things that are happening around you. It also allowed me to pick courses that were the most relevant to the areas I was interested in.
