ANU has an amazing academic atmosphere and advanced scientific instruments

My favourite thing is the flexibility of choosing courses.

Rebecca Davies is a Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) student at the ANU Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

"I had been focusing on battery storage in my studies, and I really believe that without undertaking this as part of my Masters, I wouldn’t have the knowledge to do the role."

For most people, finding out you’ve lost your job is a catastrophe, but for Victoria Clark, there was a silver lining

University life is hectic, so finding a balance is essential. Extracurricular activities can help allowing you to develop different skills to put on your resume and meet fantastic people.

One of the many unique things about the ANU is its strong connections to business, government and universities alike.
