In the ANU College of Science and Medicine our staff and students come from all over the world to conduct, and to learn about, research in the physical, biological and medical sciences. Our researchers are working at the forefront of their fields, carrying out research that both advances our understanding of the world, and has real-world impact, through our engagement with industry, with health services, and with government agencies. Our students come from all parts of Australia, and from overseas, to learn from outstanding teachers and researchers, in small classes taught in state-of-the-art teaching spaces and laboratories. Many gain first-hand experience working as part of world-leading research teams.

Australia’s policy-makers draw on our expertise with our influence extending to our Canberra neighbours—leaders in government and industry—and well beyond.

We are proud of our standing, our history, our achievements, and our impact. Over the past 70 years we have produced some of the world’s most pre-eminent scientists and thousands of graduates with a scientific education or clinical training second-to-none.
