Any MPhil applicants to CASS for the 2027 intake received an admission offer yet? Has anyone heard anything about scholarship outcomes specifically for MPhil applicants?

hey mates, anybody has submitted complaint to NSO and have gotten back from them?

i heard it takes ages for them to revert unlike what they claimed within certain timeframe.

Hi! We are Team GaeUn, currently researching college students’ sleep patterns and morning wake-up experiences.

Have you ever gone to bed early or gotten enough sleep, but still woken up thinking:

“Why don’t I feel refreshed?”

We are conducting a short survey to better understand how often college students experience unrefreshing mornings, how they currently deal with them, and to use these insights to develop a service that helps people wake up feeling more refreshed.

- Eligibility: Undergraduate and graduate students

- Time required: About 5 minutes

- Topics: Sleep habits, how refreshed you feel in the morning, and the methods you currently use to improve your sleep or wake-up experience

- Purpose: Customer validation and development of a service designed to help users have more refreshing mornings

- Survey period: October 15–27, 2026

We would really appreciate it if you could answer based on your actual experiences 🙌

Hi everyone!

I’m an international applicant who submitted a PhD application to ANU’s College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) in August. I only submitted my English test results last week, as I hadn’t included them in my original application. I’ve since received confirmation that my updated English results have been added to my application for assessment.

Recently, I’ve seen quite a few posts from international applicants in other ANU colleges who have already received admission offers, but I haven’t heard anything about my application yet. I know different colleges and research areas may have different timelines, but I’m starting to get a little anxious.┭┮﹏┭┮

I’ve also come across several posts suggesting that PhD admission and scholarship funding in CASS can be very competitive, which has made me even more nervous. My research area is Cultural Studies, and I’m really hoping to hear some news soon. Does anyone have any idea when CASS PhD applicants might start hearing about admission or scholarship outcomes?😖

I’d also love to hear from current or former CASS PhD students who received offers in previous years. If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d be really interested to know a little about your academic background, research area, and scholarship experience.

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!🙏

I'm currently deciding between ANU and UNSW for my undergraduate studies, and my parents want me to choose one of these two universities.

I'm planning to study Cybersecurity or Information Systems. If I choose ANU, the major would be BComp (I will apply for honours in the future), and for UNSW it would be AACS.

I've been researching both universities, but I'm still struggling to decide. ANU appeals to me because of its campus, environment, and overall atmosphere, while UNSW seems to offer better internship opportunities.

Thanks for helping me !

I'm in Year 12 at the moment, and I'm (hopefully) going to be at ANU next year. Between now and then, I have to make a decision on whether to buy a car or not, which is dependent on whether I'll be able to keep it near or on campus for cheap next year. What's the parking situation like around campus?

ey everyone!

We’re a group of ANU students doing ENVS3040, and we’re working with ANU Green on a project about AI and its environmental impact.

AI has become a pretty normal part of uni life, but how often do we actually think about its environmental footprint? We’re hoping to get a better idea of how ANU students and staff use AI, what people think about it, and whether sustainability plays a role in those decisions.

We’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out our survey!

🎁 There’s also a prize draw!

You could be one of five winners of prizes including bike helmets, tote bags and other merch.

Whether you use AI for pretty much everything, only occasionally, or not at all, we’re interested in hearing from you. There are no right or wrong answers, we just want to understand how people across ANU feel about it.

Thanks heaps for helping us out!

Hi everyone, I’m running an in-person research study on campus looking at whether having a conversation with an AI chatbot changes how people judge climate-related claims, and I'm currently looking for volunteers to take part!

What’s involved:

• Chatting with a state-of-the-art (SOTA) Large Language Model (LLM)
• Rating a series of climate-related claims
• Wearing a wrist sensor and being recorded on silent video during the session (used only for facial expression and engagement analysis by the research team, and never published)

Details:

• Where: In person, ANU campus
• Time commitment: 30–50 minutes
• Eligibility: Anyone with reasonable English ability
• Remuneration: Unpaid / volunteer — while we can't offer financial compensation, you'll get to test out a SOTA AI model, see how biometric and behavioural research runs behind the scenes, and help out a fellow ANU researcher!
• Interested? Send me an email at [u7593902@anu.edu.au](mailto:u7593902@anu.edu.au) to find out more or book a session time that suits you. Feel free to drop any questions in the comments too!

Question for melb students: what schools are most of you guys from that received an early entry offer and what’s helping/helped you to decided between Melb Uni, Monash and ANU???

Also any insight/advice/opinion from current students living at bruce hall would be greatly appreciated!! Just trying to get an understanding for what the social dynamics/culture are like there (as I have done a tour and quite liked it but just curious about the social aspect)

Thanks!

Hey! Anybody completed or pursuing their PhD from ANU school of Engineering specifically in the aerospace sector?

Please share your experiences and reviews.

My brother has completely cut off contact with our family for over a month, and we’re getting increasingly worried.

He attends ANU and lives at Fenner Hall. We’ve tried calling and messaging him, but we haven’t been able to reach him at all. The difficult part is that we haven’t paid his accommodation fees, so I’m worried about whether this could affect his housing situation, too.

I’ve reached out to Fenner Hall, but they haven’t responded to my messages. I’ve also contacted some of his mates, who have reassured me that he’s okay and said he’ll get back to us soon. However, it’s been over a month, and we still haven’t heard anything from him directly.
I want to respect his space if he needs it, but it’s becoming difficult not knowing whether he’s genuinely okay.

I currently attend UNSW in Sydney, and my parents have been asking me to travel to Canberra to check on him in person. I understand why they’re worried, but I’m not sure what to do or whether showing up at his accommodation is the best approach.

Has anyone dealt with something similar at ANU or Fenner Hall? Is there a way to request a welfare check through the university, or would visiting him in person be the better option?

Hi everyone!
I’m an Indian student planning to apply for the Master of Computing at the Australian National University (ANU) for the February 2027 intake.
My undergraduate CGPA is 8.59/10, and I’m trying to understand what scholarship opportunities I might be eligible for.
I have a few questions:
Based on my CGPA, what are my chances of receiving a scholarship at ANU?
What percentage of tuition fee waivers (25%, 50%, or more) have Indian students received for this program?
Are there any merit-based scholarships available for international students applying for the Master of Computing in February 2027?
If you’re an Indian student who received an ANU scholarship with a similar CGPA, could you please share how much you received?
Does ANU automatically consider applicants for scholarships, or do we need to submit a separate application?
I understand that scholarships depend on several factors beyond CGPA, but I’d really appreciate hearing from students who have applied to or are currently studying at ANU, especially those joining in 2027.
Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I got anu early entry which I’m super excited about BUT even though I requested catered, I got put in yukimbrook which I’m really anxious about. I applied for Burgman and wasn’t successful. But I desperately want Ursula, and I’m not sure what to do! I know there will be a change of preference on the portal in November but is that successful? Even if I get put somewhere else I just really don’t want yukimbrook! Was anyone successful with transferring via the portal before semester one? Do I have a good chance getting Ursula even in the second round? I don’t want to have to wait a whole semester :( it’s making me so upset!

I am a prospective student but i only have a 3 year degree in undergrad physics. I want to do the 1 Year Bachelor of Science (degree with honors) Programs in Physics or an MSc coursework in Physics.

I would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of both. Time wise, Difficulty wise and how the classes are taken in general.

In essence which one would you suggest and why?

My main goal is to do research and possibly a PhD.

Any help or other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello, i am planning to take physics course as a undergraduate student in ANU can someone share their experiences on learning physics major in ANU. Moreover i am planning to step up for getting a master degree on physics (may be other science stuff). if someone got advices please share it bellow. thankyou

As title states, received an early offer to ANU for actuarial studies and got accepted into accomodation. Seriously considering the offer, but have read some things about the university's past chancellor and vice chancellor mismanaging the university's funds/programs?

Have current ANU students experienced any effects of those controversies? Will they possibly affect the resources/facilities/quality of education I have access to, or my ability to frequently get shitfaced at my hall's social events?

Hey, I believe that next year move in day for the residences is on the 12 of Feb. I unfortanely wont be able able to move in until the 13 or 14th and I’m scared that people would already gotten to know other people and it would be difficult to make those connections. And does ANU let you move in after move in day. Would love to know some peoples options about this?

hi all!

I'm finishing up year 9 right now and I'm probably going to end up studying at ANU. I know its pretty far away, but how can I best prepare myself to achieve academic scholarships?

I understand Tuckwell is the best one but that's pretty ambitious lol. I'm already well-performing but I do not attend a very academic school. If you are a scholarship student, what did you do to get it?

I wanted to go to ANU, (australian national university), and my siblings and parents really dont want me to go to canberra, its not because of the location or or uni or anything, (im gonna go to australia anyway), but because of the city, their reasoning is a low population, but that doesnt seem too convincing.

Hey all!

I'm an international student who received my offer letter today (PhB Hons Sci) from ANU...
I wanted to know about the part-time scenario at ANU. Is it possible to get something from the very first semester itself? Is there a lot of competition, or how do things work? Thing is Part time would be a REALLY important thing for me, since I can only afford the tuition, and will have to take care of my living expenses, accommodation and EVERYTHING from part-time (i'll stay during the breaks as well and work then as well)... Just wanna know about the part-time scenario...

Is it better to do within the campus, or outside the campus? Any other side-gigs that I can do??
Also, Ik roles like RA & TA are there, tho their REALLY hard to get. What is the usual pathway to get those, atleast later on like from Year 2 or 3 (I might be over ambitious, idk, just want to know)

If I call them can I still get accepted or will I have to get in the regular way
