Welcome to the ANU VC’s Courses

The Vice-Chancellor’s Courses epitomise what is different about ANU.

They involve active discovery and research. They are courses that are inherently inter-disciplinary in terms of content, teaching staff and the students enrolled in them. They involve ANU researchers from across a wide range of different disciplines sharing through innovative teaching practices cutting edge research with students. ANU alumni in prominent positions in the private and public sectors are also involved in the teaching of the courses. Teaching is innovative, taking its excellence from students as well as teachers. The courses are for highly motivated students who will become leaders in their chosen careers.

I strongly encourage you to apply for these courses – see details top left on how to apply.

- Professor Ian Young, ANU Vice-Chancellor
