Co-curricular/service requirement
« on: November 08, 2020, 01:05:11 pm »

Hi,

I was just wondering what people generally put for the co-curricular/service requirement for ANU courses. Do people generally put activities relevant to their desired degree, or more general things? (Would more general things be better than just degree-specific comps etc?)

(Also, for anyone who knows about PhB science, would credits/distinctions in maths/science competitions be okay to include? (I've heard a lot of the people going into PhB have been science Olympians, so could including these lower certificates actually hinder my application??))

Thanks!

Since the co-curricular requirement is simply pass/fail, it doesn't really matter what you put in as long as you fulfill it as it doesn't impact on other aspects of your application. Pretty much any employment or formal volunteering will be enough or otherwise, a combination of academic/extracurricular activities.

Thanks for the reply! Okay, I have volunteering, academic comps and sports. Would work experience also be applicable?

Yup, the hardest part overall is just getting the documentation to prove you did it. I recommend you checkout their website for specific details of what you need if you haven't already:

Hope this helps!
