Australian National University

The Australian National University (ANU) is one of the world’s leading centres for research and education. In the 2013 QS World University Rankings ANU was ranked 24th in the world and 1st in Australia.

Founded by the Australian Government in 1946 to apply the best minds to the biggest questions and advance Australia’s international standing, ANU has grown to become one of the world’s leading research-intensive centres of higher learning.

The University is consistently ranked among the top 50 universities in the world by a range of international measures and has produced more Nobel Prize winners, members of the Royal Society and Federation Fellows than any other Australian university.

ANU scholars lead global thinking on issues of national and international significance, and students go on to become leaders in their home countries and on the world stage.

The College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) is one of the seven faculties that together make up the ANU. At CECS we conduct the research and teaching that aims to deliver solutions to some of the most pressing technological and environmental challenges that the world faces.

Students at CECS can be confident that they are benefiting from being part of a dynamic and intellectual research environment that broadens and deepens their educational experience. This is demonstrated in the College’s partnerships with research institutions across the globe. The College’s staff and students are currently working with companies in Germany on the research and development of new solar cell technologies, as well as companies in the US including Sun Microsystems, Gaussian and Intel in order to create new high-performance computer systems and hardware. We also have strong relationships closer to home; we work with TransGrid on their complex systems for electricity grids, and also with the Department of Defence in robotics and autonomous unmanned vehicles.
