Best Professor at Australian National University

ANU is the topmost Australian University and the only one funded by the national government. The supervisor was young and enthusiastic showed complete interest in my application and supported me throughout till I got accepted into the Ph.D. program. The facilities provided by ANU were excellent with a range of equipment and awesome labs.

Scholarship:

I received an ANU Ph.D. Scholarship covering a stipend of 25,000 AUD/year and HDR Fee Remission Fellowship to cover fees of 36,000 AUD/year. Both were applicable for 4 years or the end of the Ph.D., whichever ends earlier. The scholarship application was submitted by the University on my behalf.

Apart from that, it has one of the best educational faculty having 8 Nobel prize winners including the present Vice Chancellor of ANU. It is the only university to be affiliated by the Australian parliament. I choose this particular program as it is the most flexible degree I can ever have. It has 3 majors and honours year for the 3 core subjects i.e. Finance, Statistics and Economics.

Other than that, there are many other types of scholarship which needs to be applied for.

ANU in A-NUtshell

I chose ANU for being the too University in the country, particularly for Law and anything internationally focussed. ANU is also 1 of 2 unis in Australia to offer development studies as its own degree rather than as an art major. The location of the uni and college life also really appealed to me.

Australian National University, a perspective

It was ranked well and I wanted to move away. This uni has a good structure of degrees, allowing me to pick up another degree at the same time if I wanted. It had good living arrangements for me as well.

Scholarship:

No. My degree is paid on HECS and my accommodation is paid by my parents. I have a part-time job but I use this money for myself.

ANU REVIEW

Australian National University is the best in Australia, which is the primary reason I chose it. It's also close to home, so I can get back easily and cheaply. Not only that, but as far as politics go, it's the best place to be.
