Welcome to the School of History

## [Welcome to the School of History](https://history.cass.anu.edu.au/welcome-school-history)

History has been at the heart of the Australian National University's research program since its establishment in 1946. Our staff and graduate students produce world-class research, and our three centres – of Biography, Environmental History, and Indigenous History – are active and globally recognised hubs in their fields.

The School of History is a meeting point for historians from across the university. We teach a wide variety of undergraduate courses, supervise postgraduate students across a range of fields, and maintain a vibrant culture of research seminars and departmental visitors from Australia and abroad.

We believe that history has a fundamental role to play in informing public debate and culture. Our location in Canberra – surrounded by many of the country's national institutions – enables us to fulfil that mission.

*History at ANU is ranked Number 1 in Australia on the QS World University Rankings.*
