There is no change to how we assess applications for sponsored or scholarship‑funded students to ANU. If you are a sponsored or scholarship-funded student, you will be assessed under the existing ANU policy.

Continuing ANU students applying for a program in any of the following faculties will be assessed separately from external applicants:

• Arts, Society & Culture
• Engineering & Computer Science
• Health & Medical Studies
• Law & Legal Studies

Due to high demand, programs that do not fall under the faculties mentioned above will be competitively ranked against external candidates applying for the same program. You are considered to be a continuing ANU student if you complete one ANU program and apply to commence another ANU program in the next available intake.
