Uni Stuff > Australian National University
Any '10ers interested in ANU?

Hmmm well from what I've heard, since the PhB is primarily a research-oriented degree, it is probably the best degree to take if you want to go into postgraduate study. And if you want to do postgrad overseas it is great choice too, since the PhB is internationally recognised.

out of curiousity, to people currently at ANU. Are there people living at your college who have moved states to undertake normal courses such as Arts and Commerce?
Or are they just doing the PhB stuff like you guys, which isn't offered anywhere else. I'm not too sure this may be a stupid question but I'm considering Commerce at ANU. Do people actually come from other states to study average degrees

How does the Ph.B do in terms of eligibility into post-graduate courses, particularly overseas at top American universities? Would it be a step over UoM/Monash, etc?

I'll let you know in six months when I find out for myself ;)

Yeah there are heaps. More often though there are people who've come for Law because ANU only requires an ATAR of 95, as opposed to 99+ at Monash/USyd/UNSW.
But yes, there are plenty of people from Sydney/Brisbane/Melbourne/Adelaide/Darwin etc. who are just doing "normal" degrees.

The school captain from MGS in 09 (Mattingly) is currently up there doing Arts/Law. :p
Akirus:
Besides the research opportunities, is there a big difference in the core subject material between various universities? i.e. would going to Monash instead of ANU undermine my knowledge? I've been taking a look at Monash's research opportunities in astrophysics, which seem pretty good, although I wouldn't want my basis in physics and mathematics to be compromised.
On another note, whilst CSPA has the areas of research I'd be interested in, does anyone have any idea how likely it is to get an opportunity to do research during the undergraduate degree?
Also I hear it isn't necessary to do any extensive, specific study in astrophysics in order to do it later on; how true is this?
