  • Australian National University

    The Australian National University (ANU) is a public university located in the Australian capital, Canberra. Established by a Federal Act of Parliament in 1946, it is the nation's seventh-oldest university and the only Australian public university to be established by Commonwealth, as opposed to State or Territory, legislature.

    The University was established to be of enduring significance in the post-war life of the nation – to support the development of national unity and identity, to improve Australia’s understanding of itself and its neighbors, and to contribute to economic development and social cohesion. Its mandate was to undertake “postgraduate research and study both generally and in relation to subjects of national importance”. This national mission gives ANU a distinctive relationship with the Australian Federal Government. ANU was founded around four initial research institutes in physics, medicine, social sciences and Pacific studies and was the country’s only full-time research university. Since then there have been many progressive additions to the University’s range of activities, including a significant expansion in 1960 to take on undergraduate students.

    Judith Crispin, Musicology

    I felt that I had access to all the support I could possibly need. I was able to better evaluate my skills (and interest) in academic teaching and am now confident that my decision to continue with academic teaching is the correct choice for me.

    Without the GTP my department would never have agreed to give me any teaching work. The GTP has led to them offering me more teaching for next semester. If you are doing the GTP you avoid leaping into your first academic teaching experiences feeling unsupported and anxious that you'll make an idiot of yourself. The program is structured so that problems likely to crop up first in one's teaching are covered early in the seminars.
