Jharna Chamlagai
Bhutan
Bachelor of Law/Bachelor of Science
The first-year science/law student, who left her birth country of Bhutan as a refugee, says:
"I had this feeling in the back of my mind that if I did law, I might have to give up on my love for science, so finding out about
this double degree at ANU was amazing. Now I’d like to find a career where I can help people."
Her interest in science and the human body, she says, was fueled by a kidney disorder and her personal research into the
condition. And her interest in law developed as a result of her parents’ background.

Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)

"Imagine attending a university situated at the capital
of Australia, the heart of global research, and ranked
number 24 in the world! To this day I have trouble
believing this but I’m proud to call it my university. I
study a Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) in Science
and it has been the best decision I have ever made
in my life. Moving from Cairns to Canberra, and living
off campus was a very daunting idea. However,
through the non-residential college Griffin Hall and
my small PhB cohort I have been able to make many
friends which allowed me to transition smoothly into
university life.
Through PhB I have already undertaken a research
project in physics with leading researchers that has
opened doors. My other major concern was whether
I’d find the opportunities to balance out my studies
with extracurricular activities. Never fear as ANU

not to get involved! I’ve had the opportunity to work

Amit Poonath
India
Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) / Juris Doctor
"My name is Amit Poonath, I finished a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons.) from the
ANU and I am currently enrolled in a Juris Doctor program. I am an international
student from India and this is my ANU story.
The ANU exemplifies the phrase world-class. The unique exposure to excellent
learning experiences coupled with access to the world’s leading minds makes
ANU a global hub of knowledge. My time at the ANU has been colourful to say
the least. I have had the good fortune of engaging in a range of academic and
extracurricular activities over the course of my tenure. From engaging in national
and international academic internships, conferences and mentoring programs; to
residential leadership positions, community outreach and personal development
programs, I have been able to uphold and cherish a standard that is characteristic
of the ANU community.
The ANU is not just another university; I have found it to be a dedicated institution
that paves way for growing minds to be nurtured. I chose ANU and in turn chose a
world of opportunities."

Bachelor of International Security Studies
"I’m from Vietnam. I chose ANU because it’s one of the top 20 universities in the
world, on par with many top British and American universities. During my time
in the Bachelor of International Security Studies, I’ve had my ups and downs,
challenges and rewards. Every class’s robust and detailed discussion comes with
rigorous self-research on topics. Every essay is the fruit of hard work and long
hours of labour.
I’ve taken a minor in Historical International Security because I like history subjects
and I think they are essential for an international student like myself to become
familiar with Western cultures and their progress of civilisation.
Without the study of history, it would be challenging to make sense of what’s
happening today. In the future, I hope to work at a non-government organisation
like the United Nations or ASEAN. These organisations are where I can apply the
most of my knowledge and findings and actively contribute to peacekeeping."
