We are in the process of refreshing this website content, as part of our transition to the ANU College of Systems and Society. Thank you for your understanding as we work through these changes.
The ANU by 2025 Strategic Plan calls for the University to serve society through transformational research and education. As one of the great universities of the world, ANU is driven by a culture of excellence in everything we do. Our lived experience is increasingly one of large-scale systems of people, whose actions and interactions are influenced by our digital, physical and biological environment. The ANU College of Systems & Society hosts many of the key disciplines necessary to help us design, build, regulate and secure the future.
The College uses systems-based approaches to solve modern global challenges.
We bring together critical capabilities in understanding the modern interfaces between systems, technology, processes, the physical world, and the social world.
The College creates a deep systems and society focus to support the ANU national mission. We are future-focused and equipped to prepare graduates who are ready to tackle the complexities of the future world.
We welcome and openly acknowledge differences in expertise, research, education, professional focus, experience and perspective.
Our College is a vibrant and diverse community of more than three thousand students, staff, and visitors, across six academic units:
- Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science
- Fenner School of Environment & Society
- Mathematical Sciences Institute
- School of Computing,
- School of Engineering.
- School of Cybernetics
These are supported by the Professional Services Group.
