<p>This isn't really a study abroad question, more just about the Australian National University.</p>
<p>I was wondering, what programs does it have a reputation for? Like... Stanford is famous for its psych program, Harvard for its law program... What is ANU "famous" for?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’ve heard Actuarial studies too. It’s in Canberra though, not much to do there.</p>
<p>ANU’s famous for a few things. It’s really well regarded for research in general - especially that pertaining to arts and politics. The asian studies department is apparently outstanding, and the political science is pretty good too. I’ve heard that commerce is very strong too…</p>
<p>In terms of undergraduate degrees, ANU has a few which stand out on an international scale. Students performing in the top 1% and with a range of achievements in their disciplines can apply for the PhB degree (bachelor of philosophy) in either science or arts - there’s a huge degree of flexibility in what they can study and they have to take research as an undergraduate. The bachelor of computational science is also quite prestigious.</p>
