YOUR COURSES
What can I study at ANU?
A full course load at ANU is 24 ANU units per semester (usually 4 courses at 6 units each). Students can take 18 units (3
courses at 6 units each) with the permission of their home institution.
You can view all of our available courses through the ANU Programs and courses webpage;
programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/Search. From here you will need to select ‘Courses’ from the main subject heading
and then enter the appropriate search parameters; commencement year, career and session. You can then narrow the
search by entering your area of interest or field of study in the search bar.
The most important areas to reference on this webpage are the “Learning Outcomes” and how that will apply to your
full degree program at your home institution, the “Requisite and Incompatibility” section and if you have the required
knowledge and prerequisite evidence to meet these requirements and the “Offerings and Dates” section to ensure it will
be available in the semester you are attending ANU.

20YOUR ARRIVAL
The ANU Global Programs team runs a comprehensive orientation program.
In the lead up to your arrival at ANU, you will receive countdown information with tips and advice for each stage of your
preparation. This will include invites to events, tips on customs and so much more.
Once you arrive at ANU, you will undergo a comprehensive orientation program both exchange/study abroad specific and
university wide.
Orientation Week
In a massive collaboration across academic colleges, student groups and central support areas ANU hosts an O-Week at
the beginning of every semester. A comprehensive schedule will be available and provided closer to the commencement
of semester and gives you access to all the information and support you will need during your time at ANU. From social
events to academic advisory sessions to enrolment support the ANU community will have you covered.
Meet and Greet Session
The ANU Global Programs office hosts a Meet and Greet session the Sunday prior to Orientation Week. This session is
designed to welcome you to Australia, Canberra and ANU whilst allowing you to create a support network and make
friends early on in your journey at ANU. There may even be an animal encounter as part of it!
ANU Airport and Jolimont Centre Welcome
In collaboration with Study Canberra, ANU offers a free 'Airport Welcome' service at the Canberra airport to all new un-
dergraduate, postgraduate and exchange students (including family members travelling with you) to help you arrive in time
for Orientation Week.
The service will pick you up from the airport and drop you off at ANU, your ANU hall of residence or at UC Village.
You must register for this service and it will only run in the week prior to O-Week. You can find more information on its
running dates, as well as registration, on the ANU Student Engagement and Career Development webpage -

It already seems like a lifetime ago I
was in my quaint little university town, about
an hour away from Toronto, Canada, suffering
in the negative 30’s (and yes, that’s Celsius).
Gone are the days of me wearing 8 layers in
order to feel my limbs and being able to feel my
nose hairs freeze while walking to class. Now
I’m surrounded by sunshine, LOTS of bicycles,
and friendly faces everywhere I go. Within my
first day of being here, I was able to meet tons
of other exchange students from all over the
globe, thanks to the ANU Exchange Meet and
Greet program. It was a good way to start off my
O-week, followed by fun residence activities to
get everyone to mingle, and tons of clubs and
societies hosting welcome lunches and events.
It felt a lot like my first year at my home school,
when I first moved into my residence.
