Meet our Students

Patricia

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons)/ Bachelor of Economics

“I had a fantastic study experience at the ANU. I had access to brilliant and knowledgeable teachers who were incredibly supportive as well as a diverse cohort of peers with whom I’ve made lifelong friends. I feel like my exposure to Systems Engineering at ANU and my work experience in engineering spaces has prepared me to adapt to all sorts of different work contexts.” Patricia now works at Westpac in Sydney.

Sophie

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

“At the end of high school, I couldn’t decide between studying astrophysics or engineering, but at ANU I was able to do both. ANU is also well known for having excellent rankings for its research, which I think is so important because you are often being taught by professors that are really at the top of their fields.”​

Georgina

Bachelor of Advance Computing

“The ANU Extension program was integral to my decision to come to ANU. It gave me a good introduction to ANU class structure and expectations. The experience was made so positive by the lecturers, Dr Ben Swift and Ushini Attanayake, who delivered the content with such proficiency and deep passion for the subject and teaching us.”

Divyam

Bachelor of Computing

“Studying at the ANU was definitely a courageous step for me. But I feel that going thousands of kilometres away from my home has been worth it … I always sought a very diverse, supportive, and challenging university atmosphere.”
“Since the very start of my degree, my professors have given us a glimpse of the research being done here and opportunities that might open-up for students in the future.”​

Izak

Master of Applied Cybernetics

"I've gone from a room with a lecturer and equations where everything has one clear truth and answer, to Cybernetics which is about the art of the truth. Using Cybernetics, you still use fact and logic to navigate the system, how it works and functions, but you consider everything moving together rather than in isolation." Izak recently graduated from a Bachelor of Actuary and Mathematical studies at ANU before undertaking the Cybernetics Masters.

Tritian

Master of Applied Cybernetics

"I was never someone who was going to pursue higher education, at school that was not how my brain worked. The School of Cybernetics is a safe place where people can think laterally, be creative, being able to fail and just learn from each experience. Having room to experiment is how we learn, and this is beyond experimenting in a lab. The ambiguity of this gives you space to fill it with your lived experience.
Cybernetics is the definition of transdisciplinary - and pushes how we perceive higher education”​

Xuesi

Master of Computing

​"Because it is a world-leading university with good academic reputation, particularly in my areas of interest I chose to continue my studies at ANU after completing my Undergraduate degree.”
“I really enjoy the guest lecturers from industry that present profound perspectives of the application of the content we are learning, as well as tips on how to enter the industry.”

Tuan

Master of Engineering: Renewable Energy

“The Systems Engineering approach taught at ANU gives us the skills to contribute to cross-disciplinary problems. It’s shown me how to communicate engineering work and solutions, with both specialists and the general public. The program has equipped me with insight into complex practical and theoretical problems in the energy industry. I can also evaluate complex systems in terms of technical and social perspectives.”

Zhaolian

Master of Computing

"My Techlauncher project was really interesting – My teammates and I worked closely with our client, Research Graph, an open collaborative database that contains researchers, publications and other scholarly works, to make data extraction more specific, accurate and viewable. You meet great people, learn and work together with them, and become one of them. That’s how ANU taught me and changed me to become more forward thinking."

Chenyu Liu​

Graduate Diploma of Computing

“I chose ANU for its renowned faculty, global perspective, and vibrant academic community in computing. The university’s commitment to excellence aligned with my goals. I was also inspired by a successful colleague, an ANU graduate, who has showcased the institution’s impact on fostering exceptional working abilities and positive attitudes."
