PhB(Arts) at ANU

Hi all, does anyone know when the applications for PhB in Arts at ANU close? The form says that referee reports have to be in by 30th of November, but there's no mention of the deadline for the application itself!?

Also - do any applicants - successful or prospective - have any tips on effective writing for the "written expression sample" and the "reasons for major selection"?

Thanks in advance.

Well I think the UAC dates for applications for uni courses are pretty similar to VTAC dates, so perhaps check the UAC website.

As for the other bit, give eriny a pm, as she's doing PhB Arts right now, so she might remember ;) (we didn't have to give any samples and stuff for PhB Science.)

Cool, thanks for that. I've given eriny a pm so here's hoping she's happy to help me out a bit.
Awesome beard btw!

Eriny:
I think it's probably safest to have all the application stuff in by the 30th of November, but I would recommend calling up the College of Arts and Social Sciences to double-check. Their number is 02 6125 2898.

Is the sample a personal statement as to why you want to do the course? If so, I recommend writing things like: you enjoy a challenge, you are interested in pursuing a higher level degree like a PhD and being a researcher, and that you can demonstrate that you could fulfill the requirements (put in examples of what you've done to show this). Basically, ANU wants graduates who will make ANU look good, so show them that.

With the majors, it kind of depends on what your major is in, but emphasise how your work will help the world/other people as well as your passion for that area. ANU seems to like that kind of stuff.

A very belated thanks for that advice eriny. Managed to submit all the stuff in on time.
Hope my ENTER makes the grade! I heard they only admit like 10 people. Competitive.
