Master of Marketing Management - Batch of 2025
4.7
A great experience so far with many opportunities and internships are available in abundance.
Tips: Canberra is a more relaxed town than most, so it may be slow-paced at times. However, the people are lovely and open-minded. Be wary of your expenses as the service industry is expensive compared to cheap labour in India. More than ANU's courses, the networking options and opportunities are what make the university a great value for money.

Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) - Batch of 2025
3.6
A leap for good challenges that will shape you for life.
Tips: Students must be aware of referencing, and academic style of writing and have fundamental knowledge in the field they are going to study. Students must also be well aware of resources and facilities for them by their department and the university. I experienced culture shock in terms of how young adults earn, live by themselves and study, which is very different in India. The party culture, drinking culture and legal drugs were surprising to me. I love how multicultural and diverse the cohort is at the ANU.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at the ANU is highly qualified and professional. The experience and work of the professors are exceptional. The faculty is very diverse and mostly all professors have their unique way of teaching. The professors are usually accessible by appointment and are supportive.
Dislikes (Value for money): It is an expensive country in general. The fee for international students is much more than what domestic students have to pay. A lot of university events are paid and hall events are usually very expensive. Anyone who is earning through a full-time job can take out the expenses easily which is a rare case.

ANU: A second home away from home.
Tips: Canberra is a diverse city, but it lacks cultural food options for South Asians, especially Sri Lankans and South Indians. Additionally, it is difficult to find good imported foods from India and Sri Lanka in Canberra compared to other cities like Melbourne or Sydney. Besides, the transportation facility is very affordable, convenient and easily accessible. There are lots of internship opportunities available so you need to find one that matches your schedule.
