MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR

Welcome to Australia's national university. I am proud to be leading a university that over the past seven decades has grown to be one of the finest universities in the world. ANU offers a research and learning environment second to none. I encourage all post-graduate students making the extremely important decision of where to commit themselves for their postgraduate study, to consider ANU. Sitting in a beautiful park-like setting in the heart of Australia's capital, we are the national university, and we represent Australia as a whole. We welcome students from all over the country and the world. We are one of the world's most diverse and international universities. We attract and reward the best teachers and researchers, so that the experience at ANU will be one of innovative learning, passion and inspiration. For those who choose ANU, you will have the opportunity to work with some of the world's top researchers. We have an added charter ? to use our expertise to inform public policy. Through social change and economic transitions, our role is, and has always been, to provide academic rigour and expertise to help politicians and policymakers guide their decisions. Because of this, ANU students receive an exemplary education in an exciting and relevant environment that produces graduates who are among the most employable in the world. Students can also benefit from the strong relationships the University has with government, business and other national and international institutions. An ANU education will give you the basis to play your part in shaping the future of Australia and the world. I look forward to welcoming you to ANU in 2018. Professor Brian P. Schmidt AC Vice-Chancellor and President
