1. Find a supervisor
Discover potential supervisors. Explore their research and published works and find their contact details.
Search supervisors
2. ANU college research opportunities
Our colleges can provide you with information about research areas, supervisors and groups, as well as who to contact.
NOTE: More than one college can offer supervision in a particular study area.

3. Explore college application requirements
If you have found a supervisor you would like to work with and the college that offers this supervision, you will need to find out if there are any pre-application steps that your college would like you to take.
Most colleges would like you to find and secure the support of a potential supervisor before you complete your application. For example, the ANU College of Business & Economics has different arrangements for setting up supervision, so please check in with them before applying.
Some colleges will ask you to send a short description of your proposed area of research as an expression of interest and a summary of your academic qualifications, including grades, to them first.
Visit the ANU college research pages for pre-application advice (see the links under 'ANU colleges’ content above).

Applying to ANU
You can apply at any time of the year – but if you would like to be considered for a scholarship, you will need to send your application within the scholarship’s application deadline.
Scholarship applicants
Your referees should send their reports before your scholarship’s deadline. Give them as much time as possible by completing your ANU application 2–3 weeks earlier than the scholarship’s deadline. We’ll contact your referees when we get your application.
Application requirements
Your application to study at ANU must meet the following requirements.
1. Minimum admission requirements
Explore our minimum admission requirements.
Requirements for admission to a Doctor of Philosophy degree
- An Australian bachelor’s degree with at least second-class honours (Upper first-class honours may be required by some programs) or the international equivalent, or
- Another degree with a significant research/thesis component, or
- A combination of qualifications, research publications and/or professional experience related to your field of study
Requirements for admission to a Master of Philosophy degree
- An Australian bachelor’s degree or higher, with an overall grade of distinction or higher, or the international equivalent, or
- Another equivalent degree, or
- A combination of qualifications, research publications and/or professional experience that are related to your field of study
2. English language requirements
You must meet our English language requirements to be eligible for admission to ANU. While you can apply without having met them, you will need to show that you do when you get a study offer from us.
Unsure whether you can meet the English language requirements? Contact your research school or the Graduate Research Office before you send your application.
Learn more about ANU English language requirements
3. Research proposal
Your draft research proposal only needs to be short. Check in with your potential supervisor to clarify their expectations for this proposal before you send it in with your application.
Your proposal should present your idea or question in your discipline area clearly. Consider it a statement about the basis of the research you’d like to do.
Your research proposal should:
- establish the relevance of your idea
- show gaps in your field – and how your research would address these
- include how you would go about your research project – your approach, methodologies and resources.
You will be able to change the proposal once you have enrolled in your program.
Learn about research proposals
4. Referees
Referee reports are mandatory when applying for admission to a HDR Program. At least 2 referees reports are required to commence assessment of the application. Academic referees, who are able to comment on the applicant’s ability to undertake the program, are preferred, however, professional references can also be used. The University may request additional referee reports during the assessment of the application.
Ensure their contact details are correct; we will email them a report to complete from within the application portal as soon as we have received your application.
If your referee is unable to access our system-generated referee report, they can contact the Admissions team and ask for another version of the form.
Your referees must send their completed reports confidentially and directly to the University rather than to you.
Reference documents:
- Research Application Referee Report (DOCX, 82.99 KB)
5. Supporting documentation
Upload clear, colour copies of your academic transcripts and graduation certificates with your application. You do not need to certify these documents, but they must be original copies. We will verify their authenticity.
If your academic documents were originally given to you in a language other than English, we will need official copies of the document in that language and original translations for verification purposes.
6. Incomplete qualifications
You can apply to ANU before you complete your current degree if you are in your final year. Advise the Graduate Research office your expected completion date via your application and supply a copy of the qualification when we make you an offer.
For more information, refer to ‘Supporting documentation’.
If you have the approval of a college and a potential supervisor, you can apply for admission to ANU. Without this endorsement, though, we might not be able to assess your application.
Choose the program you want to study from the Program & Courses catalogue
On the program’s page, click 'apply’ to open the application portal
Complete your application
Receiving an offer from ANU
After we assess your application, we will contact you via email about the outcome within 6–8 weeks (about 2 months). This could take longer if we're also considering you for a scholarship.
If you do not hear from ANU within two months, contact your research school or email the Graduate Research Office.

Learning Outcomes
Other information, requirements, relevant degrees.
Computer Science is the study of information and computation of algorithms, data and computing systems which accept, store, transform and present data in ways that contribute to knowledge and the well-being of society.
In the Computer Science major you will learn the underlying principles and theory used in developing computational solutions to problems including a study of data structures, algorithms, and programming languages and their use in translating solutions into software systems. Within the Computer Science major, you can choose to specialise in modern fields of computer science and software development, including artificial intelligence, computational theory, computer systems, human-centric computing, and information-intensive computing.
By completing the major, you will develop a deep understanding of software development, software systems or computer science theory, with many applications to fields in Science or further studies in Computer Science. There are also excellent career opportunities for graduates with these backgrounds in business, industry and government as programmers, systems analysts, computer systems and network managers, user support officers and software engineers.
- Understand the basic principles and theory used in developing computational solutions to problems. These include the ability to use formal notations and the use of the principle of abstraction.
- Apply a range of skills to analyse problems and construct a reliable computational solution. This includes the identification of requirements, separation of concerns, and testing.
- Understand the connections between computing and other disciplines, and recognize computational ideas embedded in other contexts.
- Apply independent learning and reasoning in the computing discipline; this includes an awareness of current research issues. This is done through reading of textbooks, papers and and electronic resources.
- Work in both independent and collaborative ways with others; relate professional and disciplinary information and ideas to diverse audiences in effective and appropriate ways; but at the same time be responsible for individual work and aware of plagiarism issues.
- Apply in-depth knowledge and competencies in advanced areas of the computing discipline.
To complete this major students must also complete a 1000 level MATH course (to meet the pre-requisites of COMP2100 and COMP2300 ).
The math course can form part of a Foundational Science minor, another science minor/major or sequence of science electives. If a student is in a Flexible Double Degree, the courses can only contribute towards one degree. For advice on fitting a maths courses into your degree program, please contact the CoS Student Service Office.
Advice to First Year students: You will need to enrol in any 1000 level MATH course. Students desiring a more scientifically oriented first programming course may take COMP1730 instead of COMP1100 but COMP1100 is preferable. Students desiring more advanced study of algorithms and data structures should consider taking COMP1130 and COMP1140 instead of COMP1100 and COMP1110 .
Additional Advice:
- Students wishing to concentrate their studies in Computer Systems should take COMP2300 instead of COMP2100 .
- COMP2410 cannot be taken in this major.
- Suggested themed enrolment patterns for the remaining four courses of the major include:
- Artificial Intelligence: COMP3620 Artificial Intelligence; and any three courses from COMP2620 Logic, COMP4691 Optimisation, COMP4620 Advanced Topics in Artificial Intelligence, COMP4650 Document Analysis and COMP4660 Introduction to Statistical Machine Learning.
- Computational Theory: COMP3600 Algorithms and COMP3630 Theory of Computation and any two courses from COMP2310 Systems, Networks and Concurrency, COMP2610 Information Theory, COMP2620 Logic, COMP3610 Principles of Programming Languages, COMP4600 Advanced Algorithms. COMP4011 Advanced Topics in Formal Methods and Programming Languages and COMP4630 Overview of Logic and Computation.
- Computer Systems: COMP2310 Systems, Networks and Concurrency; and any three courses from COMP3300 Computer Networks, COMP3310 Operating Systems, COMP3320 High Performance Scientific Computation, COMP3610 Principles of Programming Languages, COMP4300 Parallel Systems, COMP4712 Compiler Constructions.
