Graduate Studies Select is a flexible option for graduate studies at ANU. It recognises that graduate students have a range of professional and personal needs and that these cannot always be met by following a program of study in a single academic discipline. Subject to meeting course entry requirements, you will be able to select courses from across the graduate course offerings available.

This opportunity increases the flexibility and choice available to you. Graduate Studies Select allows you to structure your studies and direct your learning in a way which meets your academic, personal and professional interests and enables you to develop skills and expertise in a range of learning areas. For example, you could construct a program of study comprising courses in art history, environmental science, finance and management.

Our Academic Adviser is available to help you tailor a program to suit your individual needs. Prior to or after lodging your application, you are invited to contact the Graduate Studies (Select) Academic Adviser to discuss the study options available to you.
