The Australian National University (ANU) is unlike any other university in Australia. Founded in 1946, in a spirit of post-war optimism, our role was to help realise Australia's potential as the world recovered from a global crisis.
That vision, to support the development of national unity and identity, improve our understanding of ourselves and our neighbours, and provide our nation with research capacity amongst the best in the world, and education in areas vital for our future, has been our mission ever since.
It can be difficult work, but it's work we proudly do-because connecting talented people with diverse perspectives, equipping and encouraging them to address the most complex of tomorrow's problems, and ensuring Australia's future is not just our approach-it's also our national role and international responsibility as Australia's national university, and it's a responsibility from which we'll never waver.
Academic Colleges
ANU has seven academic colleges that house a number of schools and research centers that specialize in a range of disciplines - all relevant but some unique in Australia and our region.
Campuses & facilities
You'll find ANU in the inner-city suburb of Acton, Canberra in the ACT. But we also have other campuses in the ACT, NSW and the NT that house some extraordinary facilities that help support our teaching, learning and research.
Strategic planning
The Australian National University is endowed by the nation to bring credit to Australia through the quality of its research, education and contribution to societal transformation. Our strategic planning reflects our priorities and responsibilities to the nation, the region and the world.

Policy leaders
ANU is a leader in public policy formation and debate. Our nation’s governments and those of neighbouring Asia-Pacific countries rely on us to comment on and contribute to policy matters confronting our region.
Our location in the nation’s capital and our focus on national policy issues makes us an invaluable resource for state and regional governments and the Australian parliament. ANU public policy expertise covers multiple disciplines and brings together leading initiatives, such as the Public Policy Fellows Program and Crawford School of Public Policy. The Crawford School works with the Australian Public Service to boost the expertise of policy practitioners and connects our world-leading academics with the policy development arms of government departments.
