International engagement

The ANU College of Systems and Society has an extensive network of international research collaborations, strategic programs and partnerships with universities, research institutes, government departments and a range of organisations overseas.

These partnerships and collaborations enable not just the research of the college but provide a number of opportunities for students to study and conduct research at the ANU and our partner institutions. These opportunities can be supported by scholarships, dual and joint degrees, articulation and pathway arrangements, inbound and outbound mobility programs, and more.

Our strategic international programs, initiatives and partnerships:

Credit and articulation agreements

We have partnership arrangements with institutions around the world that may provide international students credit for study undertaken at our partner institutions, and/or pathways into our degrees

Joint and dual PhD programs

There are a range of Joint and Dual PhD programs with partner institutions aiming to encourage research in a collaborative environment across two institutions.

Global mobility

We offer student exchange programs around the world, with 150+ universities across 30+ countries. ANU students can also access international conferences, short courses, and travel grants
