This minor integrates the University's flagship Vice-Chancellor's Courses into an unparalleled experience in leadership and research education.
The Vice-Chancellor's Courses epitomise what is different about ANU.
They involve active discovery and research. They are courses that are inherently interdisciplinary in terms of content, speakers, and the students enrolled in them. ANU researchers and alumni bring together knowledge, cutting-edge research, and leading professional practice to provide students with multiple perspectives on contemporary issues and future challenges. Through innovative teaching methods, students are required to be active learners and create convincing and insightful arguments based on evidence. The Vice-Chancellor's courses are for highly motivated students who will become leaders in their chosen fields.
