Welcome to the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs (Bell School). We are recognised as the pre-eminent centre in the region and one of the best in the world for research excellence and policy analysis of Asia-Pacific and international politics, society, strategy, security and diplomacy.
Our education and research engage deeply with Asia and the Pacific on four levels: international, regional, national and subnational. Our engagement with Asia and the Pacific at the regional level specifically involves four primary sub-regions: the Pacific, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia.
Our commitment to education extends beyond the confines of the classroom, in accordance with the founding mandate of The Australian National University (ANU) to advance the country’s understanding of the Asia-Pacific region and its place in it. Our academic community are key contributors to national policymaking.
The Bell School provides undergraduate and graduate coursework programs and graduate research training of the highest quality with an international community of over 13,000 Bell School alumni.
