Tomorrow’s innovators, welcome to ANU Open Day on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land. This is your place – start making your mark. Explore your humanities, arts and social sciences opportunities at ANU.

ANU Open Day is a chance to picture yourself studying and living here in 2026/2027. This is your day to soak up new ideas. Join a forensic murder mystery workshop, try music production, test your language skills and more.

Whatever your passion, the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) offers a diverse range of qualifications across the humanities, arts, and social sciences. We are ranked #1 in Australia and in the world top 30 for anthropology, archaeology, philosophy, geography, politics, history, development studies, and sociology.1

You can also choose from 27 languages on offer, more than any other university in Australia – languages from Europe, Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East and Indigenous Australia, as well as Classical languages.

Start exploring activities, information sessions, workshops and tours by registering through EventBrite, or view all CASS Open Day sessions.

Locations marked Auditorium, Lectorial Room 1 and Lectorial Room 2 will be held in the Research School of Social Sciences (RSSS) Building, 146 Ellery Crescent, (ANU Building 146).

Locations marked Manning Clark, Cinema, and T2 will be held in ANU Lowitja O’Donoghue Cultural Centre.
