The Australian National University

Admission requirements

Applicants should normally have obtained at least Second Class Honours: Division A, in their Australian bachelor degree, or the equivalent in a degree from other countries. The degree should normally be in any discipline of the social sciences or the humanities. In cases where applicants have not undertaken an honours degree 'equivalence' may be met by:

• a very good four-year bachelor degree
• a very good graduate diploma
• or a very good three-year bachelor degree and substantial relevant work experience demonstrating a capacity for analysis and research in international affairs, industry, or the professions.

As a guide, 'very good' normally refers to an A/B+ average and above, or distinction average and above.

Applicants must also meet the ANU's English language requirements.
