Access for Indigenous students

ANU student

We acknowledge the pressures that may prevent Indigenous Australians from accessing educational opportunities. At ANU, we are committed to the advancement of Australia's Indigenous peoples. The Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre provides a meeting place and support-base for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and staff.

The following schemes offer priority entry for Indigenous students and pathway options for entry to ANU. We also offer a number of scholarships for Indigenous students and assistance with obtaining accommodation

Applying to ANU as a school leaver

You can apply for admission, campus accommodation and multiple scholarships in one free application. You can read more about the application process here.

As an Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student, you are eligible for priority admission. This means that if you meet the admission requirements for your ANU program of choice and declare your Indigenous heritage, you will be given preference.

You may also be eligible for adjustment factors which increase your ANU selection rank. Adjustment factors are added based on equity, diversity, and performance principles.

Work and Life Experience Based Entry

If you are aged 21 or over on 1 March in the year in which you intend to commence an ANU program and do not have assessable qualifications, or your qualifications do not meet the University's regular entry requirements, you may be eligible for the ANU Work and Life Experience Based Entry Scheme.
