History at the ANU
History is a vast and fascinating subject, and it manifests in many ways across the Australian National University. Below you will find a few of the different ways you can see and even get involved in history at the ANU.
ANU School of History

The ANU School of History enjoys a high national and international reputation for the quality of its research and teaching. The School of History’s staff and research students produce world-class research in Australian, British, European, and North American history, and our three centres – Biography, Environmental History, and Indigenous History – are active and globally recognised research hubs in their fields. The School also teaches a wide variety of undergraduate courses, supervises graduate students in our research fields, and maintains a vibrant culture of research seminars, Visiting Fellows, and departmental visitors from Australia and abroad.
