<p>hey, i was wondering if some australian students (or just anyone who knows about it) could tell me if it is a good idea to study economics at the Australian National University. Is it a prestigious programme? What are the job prospects for graduates? Would I be competitive when applying for a PhD in the US?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It is one of the best unis in Australia. You could also check out Melbourne which seems to have the stronger international name.</p>
<p>ANU is great, the staff are incredibly warm, they even take the time to discuss plans with prospective students!</p>
<p>I think it's the top uni in Australia. Sometimes people overlook it though because it's in a less prominent city, while UMelbourne is in Melbourne. I know people who have attended both though and level of teaching is apparently higher at ANU.</p>
<p>do they give good scholarships/financial aid ?</p>
<p>Yes, they offer scholarships that cover 100% of tuition for internationals. However, they are extremely competitive.</p>
<p>nauru, level of teaching in Econ or what?
things varies from Dept to Dept.</p>
<p>people in UofMel will claim UofMel is best for undergrad
ANU is best for grad school in research.
if you going for grad school coursework not so great.
their 100% scholarship will not be as competitive compare to those offered in Yale. maybe daeapaf, would like to state what kind of grades or GPA required.
Queensland Uni need like a GPA of 3.8+ for Singapore Diploma holders to get it.</p>
im planning on applying to Australian National university and im wondering how the school is like?
