International Relations & Partnerships
The College of Science and Medicine has extensive international engagement in both research and education. Students come from all over the world to experience our research-led education; our own students have many overseas opportunities; and our research staff and students collaborate widely across the globe.
International engagement
Staff in the College of Science and Medicine have extensive international research collaborations and the College also has a wide range of strategic programs and partnerships with high-quality universities, research institutes, government departments and related organisations overseas.
The College provide opportunities for students to study and conduct research at the ANU and at our partner institutions through a range of scholarships, dual & joint degrees, articulation & pathway arrangements, inbound & outbound mobility programs, and more.

Some of our strategic international programs, initiatives and partnerships:
Future Research Talent (FRT) Scheme
The FRT Scheme is a competitive and prestigious program that attracts the very best international students & staff from high-quality Indian & Indonesian institutions to undertake research projects at the ANU across STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics & Medicine) disciplines.
The Shandong University (SDU) and The Australian National University (ANU) Joint Science College (JSC) at Shandong University’s Weihai campus is a ‘Sino-Foreign Cooperative Educational Institution’ partnership approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education.
We have a range of Joint and Dual PhD programs with partner institutions that deliver an outstanding research training experience in a collaborative environment across two institutions.
We have partnership arrangements with institutions around the world that may provide international students credit for study undertaken at our partner institutions and/or pathways into our degrees.
We offer a range of scholarships to support the cost of studies at ANU. We also work with many international partner organisations across the public and private sector who offer scholarships and sponsorships to study at ANU.
We offer a range of short courses in various formats - such as Summer Schools, Workshops, Masterclasses, and more - aimed at developing targeted scientific skills and capabilities while experiencing life as a student at ANU and in Canberra.
International Research Connections Fund (ICRF) supports development of researcher – to – researcher connections by funding academic staff mobility to and from targeted countries and regions to build and strengthen strategic international research and educational collaborations.
We offer students many field trips (across Australia and internationally), exchange programs (with 150+ universities across 30+ countries), travel grants and scholarships to support cost of mobility.
STEM Guest Lecture series comprises masterclasses delivered by leading ANU academic experts and researchers. Each guest lecture focuses on a different discipline area and highlight some of the leading research work being done across the ANU.
Our global impact

When Dhruv Bhagtani landed in Australia thanks to a prestigious Future Research Talent Award, he knew he’d be doing world-class undergraduate research. What he didn’t expect was the world of opportunity it also opened up.
- Analysis and opinion
The world is in deep trouble on climate change, but if we really put our shoulder to the wheel we can turn things around. Loosely, that’s the essence of today’s report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
