  • Law & Legal Studies

    The ANU College of Law is the national law school.  We are proudly part of one of Australia’s top-ranked universities, located in the heart of Canberra, the national capital. This provides us with unique opportunities to connect with the work of the Parliament of Australia, the High Court of Australia, the departments and agencies of the Federal Government, as well as the local ACT law-making institutions – the Legislative Assembly and the ACT courts.

    Our teaching and research endeavours span the local, national and – of ever-growing importance – international contexts. We have particular strengths in the fields of international law, public law and environmental law, but our work also covers other areas that are critical to understanding the role of law, and the rule of law, in the modern global environment.

    Underlying our teaching and research is a belief that the discipline of law offers a unique perspective on a wide range of social, political and economic issues, as well as insights into fundamental and abiding questions about justice, fairness and the exercise of power in an increasingly globalised society. 

    At the ANU College of Law we encourage our students to look beyond ‘the law in the books’ and to consider the impact – both good and bad – of the law in practice. We believe that the purpose of studying, researching and practicing law is not simply to know what the law is, but to understand why it operates as it does, and how it can be improved. Accordingly, as you will see, we place a particular emphasis on the themes of law reform and social justice as core components of any understanding of the law.

    Whether you are thinking about studying law at ANU as an undergraduate or postgraduate student, or joining our community of scholars as a visitor or as a member of staff, or you wish to maintain your connection with our community as one of our alumni, I invite you to explore our website. Please contact or visit us should you wish to learn more about the exciting opportunities offered by the ANU College of Law.

    Study options: Actuarial Studies , Commerce, Development Studies, Economics, Environmental Studies, Ethics, Finance, Gender Studies, Human Rights, International Business, International Relations, Law, Legal Practice, Migration, Pacific Studies, Philosophy, Policy Studies, Political Communication, Political Sciences, Social Research

With Asia-Pacific studies, you can help to shape this regional relationship and define Australia’s future.

Calls for the establishment of a national university in Australia began as early as 1900. After the location of the nation's capital, Canberra, was determined in 1908, land was set aside for the university at the foot Black Mountain in the city designs by Walter Burley Griffin. Planning for the university was disrupted by World War II but resumed with the creation of the Department of Post-War Reconstruction in 1942, ultimately leading to the passage of the Australian National University Act 1946 by the Parliament of Australia on 1 August 1946.

A group of eminent Australian scholars returned from overseas to join the university, including Sir Howard Florey (co-developer of medicinal penicillin), Sir Mark Oliphant (a nuclear physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project), Sir Keith Hancock (the Chichele Professor of Economic History at Oxford) and Sir Raymond Firth (a professor of anthropology at LSE).  Economist Sir Douglas Copland was appointed as ANU's first Vice-Chancellor and former Prime Minister Stanley Bruce served as the first Chancellor. ANU was originally organised into four centres—the Research Schools of Physical Sciences, Social Sciences and Pacific Studies and the John Curtin School of Medical Research.

The first resident's hall, University House, was opened in 1954 for faculty members and postgraduate students. Mount Stromlo Observatory, established by the federal government in 1924, became part of ANU in 1957. The first locations of the ANU Library, the Menzies and Chifley buildings, opened in 1963. The Australian Forestry School, located in Canberra since 1927, was amalgamated by ANU in 1965.

The Canberra School of Music and the Canberra School of Art were amalgamated by ANU in 1992.

ANU established its Medical School in 2002, after obtaining federal government approval in 2000.

On 18 January 2003, the Canberra bushfires largely destroyed the Mount Stromlo Observatory. ANU astronomers now conduct research from the Siding Spring Observatory, which contains 10 telescopes including the Anglo-Australian Telescope.

In February 2013, financial entrepreneur and ANU graduate Graham Tuckwell made the largest university donation in Australian history by giving $50 million to fund an undergraduate scholarship program at ANU.

The degrees offered by the ANU are accredited by a number of independent organisations, such as the Actuaries Institute Australia, The Association of International Accountants, The Australian Computer Society (ACS), The CFA Institute, CPA Australia, The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA), The Institute of Public Accountants, The Statistical Society of Australia.

The ANU's main campus - Acton campus - is located in the center of Canberra, in the close proximity to Australian Parliament House. Apart from being in state-of-the art condition, Acton campus is considered to be the second greenest campus in Australia. It also includes the library (over 2.5 million books available to students), laboratories, administation buildings, cafes, medical center and a post office.

The rental market in Canberra is competitive. Students and full-time workers compete for the same properties, which means that prices reflect the high demand for space. You can either live on-campus or off-campus. If you want to live on-campus, an application should be lodged early in the semester prior to the one in which you’ll begin studies. . Applications made later in the process could result in longer wait-times for a response, and many are put on a waiting list. Avoid the wait; apply early!

If you are looking for an off-campus shared or rental property, you should first consider the map at the of the guide. The ANU is located in ACToN (between lake Burley griffin &
the Canberra Centre). The suburbs to the north are popular with students, as buses services are frequent & cycling is also easier. The South is located across the Commonwealth Bridge & is also an option, but the closer you get to Capitol Circle (Parliamentary area), the more expensive the rent will be.

The closer you are to Acton, the higher the price. Therefore, the average shared-house price could look something like this:

Acton: $280 per week Braddon: $200 per week Campbell: $200 per week Turner: $200 per week o’Connor: $200 per week Ainslie: $170 per week Dickson: $160 per week lyneham: $160 per week Hackett: $160 per week Downer: $160 per week Watson: $150 per week

Note: these are indicative prices, which depend on many factors such as furnished/unfurnished, number of people sharing the house, age of house, etc. Rental prices will likely be more expensive.
ANU Campus area include: Belconnen, Bruce, Aranda, Curtin, kaleen, Woden and many more. Use google maps to view the suburbs and see the ACT bus schedule to determine what distance you might need to travel (http:// www.action.act.gov.au/ ). If you want more information regarding these suburbs, like  PARSA Facebook page
so you can connect with the students living in these areas for first hand information. 

 Bear in mind that there are services fees, such as laundry, internet, cleening fees.There is a bathroom on each floor with all soaps, shampoos, towels etc. available. You can take advantage of study rooms in the dormitories, which are divided according to the academic standing (the Junior Common room, the Senior Common room etc.). Computer labs are provided for the use of the hall residents. They are opened 24 hours per day and are equiped with Macs and PCs, as well as laser printers. One of the benefits of living in the residents halls is the canteen. The hall residents are provided with 3 meals a day, 7 days a week. Vegetarian alternatives are available to all residents, along with the salad and fruit bars.

Brian's Bus is a free University service, which operates each evening to provide safe transport for students and staff around the campus linking the main buildings such as libraries and residences. 

If you are interested in working while studying, you can work 40 hours a fortnight (including volunteer or unpaid work) while your course is in session. Work undertaken as part of your course is not included in this total. You can work unlimited hours during official course breaks. 

Life as a student at ANU is much more than just attending classes. There are so many other things you can do to make your time at ANU a worthwhile experience, including playing sport, joining clubs and societies, joining in social activities, or volunteering.  ANU offers you a vibrant and lively environment with a wide range of activities and events. Students at ANU can choose from the abudance of students clubs, starting from AISEC ANU and UNICEF ANU to Goodwill and Gaming clubs. If you are into fitness, ANU can offer you an on-campus gym, tennis courts, strength rooms and so on.
