Organisation profile
The Australian National University’s College of Science and Medicine delivers world-class research and education in astronomy, biological sciences, chemistry, medical research, Earth sciences, environment and society, mathematical sciences, physics and science communication.
Our researchers are working at the forefront of their fields, carrying out research that both advances our understanding of the world, and has real-world impact, through our engagement with industry and with government agencies.
Our students come from all parts of Australia, and from overseas, to learn from outstanding researchers, in small classes taught in state-of-the-art teaching spaces and laboratories. Many gain first-hand experience working as part of world-leading research teams.
Australia’s policy-makers draw on our expertise with our influence extending to our Canberra neighbours—leaders in government and industry—and well beyond.
And as global leaders in science communication, we develop and promote methods to encourage informed decisions about the big scientific ideas.
