MESSAGE FROM
THE VICE -CHANCELLOR
Welcome to The Australian National University (ANU).
It gives me great pleasure to introduce you to our undergraduate course guide
for 2021.
Choosing where you will go to study after you have finished school is one of the
most important decisions that you will ever make. 2020 has been one of the most
tumultuous years for students across the world, and here at ANU, we have been
doing our best, to first and foremost support our students to continue with their
studies. Most of our students have remained enrolled, demonstrating the quality
of education, student experience and teaching offered on our campus.
2021 is going to be different – but no matter where you are from, ANU will welcome
and support you to succeed. I know it might be daunting to start a new program
right now due to the global uncertainties, but here at ANU, we are here to support you to get your education
started. We have great cause for optimism that Australian borders will reopen, and we will be able to welcome our
international students to our wonderful and vibrant campus community. Until this time, our courses will be available
through online delivery so wherever you are, you can be confident that you can start your studies with us.
In times of great change and uncertainty, there are things that remain constant and highly valued – and your
education is one of the most important parts of your life. A degree from ANU will set you up for life and you’ll join
our global alumni community who make up world leaders, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.
When you come to ANU, what sets us apart is our focus on a truly distinct student experience. We marry an
excellent classroom education with a transformational campus experience. In your classes, you’ll learn from the
world’s best scholars and teachers who are experts in their chosen field. Outside the classroom, you’ll join our
diverse student community who make up some of the brightest and engaged people from across Australia, our
region and around the world. The people you meet will be amazing and you’ll make lifelong friends.
If you want to change the world, if you want to shape the future, if you want to make a real difference, ANU will
help you get there. I am pleased to invite you to join us at ANU to undertake your undergraduate studies and look
forward to welcoming you into our community in 2021.

Shalini Rajkumar
Malaysia
Bachelor of Finance/Bachelor of Economics
Having grown up in the multicultural pockets of Malaysia,
where multiple languages are spoken, Shalini Rajkumar
has always found various vernaculars to be alluring.
“In Malaysia, one would always be a part of many
conversations if they knew multiple languages. It’s a simple
asset that can take anyone a long way,” Shalini shares.
Apart from her fluency in Malay, English and Tamil, Shalini
is also currently learning Mandarin at The Australian
National University (ANU); along with her core courses at
the ANU College of Business and Economics (CBE). She is
currently studying a Bachelor of Finance and a Bachelor of
Economics double degree, and is the recipient of the ANU
CBE International Undergraduate Scholarship.
She feels that all her interests have perfectly aligned.
“I had to choose electives and I thought of doing
something outside the scope of my degree. That’s when I
approached CBE Student Services with my dilemma. They
helped me with the structure of my degree, and I thought
why not Mandarin?” Shalini explained.
Her learning experience is not only building her academic
and professional profile but also equally expanding her
social network.

Marika Niihori
Cairns, Australia
Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)
(PhB) - Science
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
has over 180 clubs and societies! It’s rather hard
not to get involved! I’ve had the opportunity to work
in the team for the annual ANU Student Research
Conference. I have been elected as the President
of the ANU Music Society and am a SET4ANU
orientation leader. Overall my experiences at ANU
have been life changing and I cannot wait to see what
opportunities lie ahead in the future."Bachelor of Advanced Computing Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) (PhB) /

Bobby Sun
China
Bachelor of Science (Advanced) (Honours)
“I always loved the water and the ocean. The only problem is I can’t swim!” And
yet, Bobby Sun is about to graduate with a Bachelor of Science (Advanced)
(Honours), specialising in marine science. “My Honours supervisor asked me if I
wanted to do my research on One Tree Island”—a coral cay on the Southern Great
Barrier Reef—“and I was so scared to tell him I couldn’t swim!”
After mustering the courage to confess that she was a land-dwelling marine
scientist, Bobby’s supervisor told her not to worry: no swimming would be
required. Bobby’s Honours fieldwork involves studying bio-mineral chemistry under
the sea; but luckily, she can do this while standing in water about a foot deep, at
low tide, on the reef flat.
Like most Honours students, Bobby has only scratched the surface when it comes
to answering her question. So she has decided to get to the bottom of it via a PhD.
“I’m so thrilled that I get the opportunity to continue researching what is happening
on the reef and other parts of the ocean.”

Nu Nguyen
Vietnam
Bachelor of International Security Studies
"I’m from Vietnam. I chose ANU because it’s one of the top
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 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."

Natali Heil Koerbel
Brazil
Bachelor of International Relations/Bachelor of
Commerce (International Business)
Three years ago I made the great decision of moving to
Australia to study my undergraduate degree at the ANU. The
opportunity to do a double degree in a high-quality institution
instantly appealed to me because it allowed me to pursue
different academic interests. The second best decision I made
was to live on campus, at Burton and Garran Hall. Since day
one my residential hall has given me all the support needed to
adapt to a life in Canberra as an international student – from
showing me where to get groceries to teaching me how to
play footy. I have met incredible people from all over Australia
and the world and created amazing memories with them.
All the pastoral care and academic support available at
the ANU has helped me excel academically and grow as
an individual. By being a Senior Resident last year and a
Community Coordinator this year, I have noticed that I was not
an exception and that numerous students benefit from all the
support systems in place. Although it was not easy moving
away from home to a foreign country, I am extremely grateful
for the decisions that got me where I am today.

Gautham Gopinath
India
Bachelor of Economics
The academic ranking of the ANU drew Gautham
Gopinath to Canberra. Particularly the reviews he had
read about the University’s College of Business and
Economics (CBE).
Gautham started his ANU journey in 2019 and is
pursuing a Bachelor in Economics. He is also one of the
six international students who received the prestigious
ANU College of Business & Economics International
Undergraduate Scholarship, which waivers off the entire
tuition fees.
“The experience here is like a trampoline helping me get
to newer heights. I am now keen to pursue an Honours
degree. The overall experience so far at ANU has been a
morale booster as I have been provided with a stepping
stone to enter a new world.”
