Our mission
The ANU by 2025 Strategic Plan calls for the University to serve society through transformational research and education. As one of the great universities of the world, ANU is driven by a culture of excellence in everything we do.
Our lived experience is increasingly one of large-scale systems of people, whose actions and interactions are influenced by our digital, physical and biological environment. The ANU College of Systems and Society hosts many of the key disciplines necessary to help us design, build, regulate and secure the future.

We create a deep systems and society focus to support the ANU national mission. We are future-focused and equipped to prepare graduates who are ready to tackle the complexities of the future world.
We welcome and openly acknowledge differences in expertise, research, education, professional focus, experience and perspective.
